Commission members discuss town’s possible sale of parcel near Loftus well field
Summary
Commissioners described a town‑owned parcel near the Loftus Well Field with an abandoned pump house, a right‑of‑way from Williams and Whistler Road, and discussed whether the original owner has statutory or contractual buy‑back rights. They urged staff to check deed and sale conditions.
Commission members raised that the town is considering selling a parcel described as to the south of Morgan’s office and just beyond Shoe Hill, with large hay fields and an abandoned pump house on the site. "There's an old pump house in there that's abandoned," a commissioner said while describing the parcel's location and access via a right of way off Williams and Whistler Road.
Members discussed whether, if the town purchased the property for a specific reason (for example, as a water source), the previous owner might hold the right to repurchase the parcel at the original sale price or whether a state law could apply to such buy‑back clauses. The commission asked staff to confirm ownership history and any contractual clauses that would affect a sale; no formal motion was made.
