Trust hears that Pottle Street parcels taken for unpaid taxes may be zoned Conservation; Town Planner to draft warrant article
Summary
Paul reported trustees that Pottle Street properties recently taken by the Treasurer for unpaid taxes may be zoned Conservation; he said the Town Planner will prepare a warrant article to update the bylaw on taking property for unpaid taxes, and trustees said the zoning needs review.
Trustees were told that parcels on Pottle Street recently taken by the Treasurer for unpaid property taxes may be subject to Conservation zoning, which could affect how the town and the Trust handle those properties. "He has discussed the Pottle Street properties recently taken by the Treasurer for unpaid property taxes with the Conservation Agent who believes these are all zoned Conservation," the transcript records (reporting by phone from Paul).
Paul said this status "needs to be reviewed" and told trustees the Town Planner will have a warrant article for the Annual Town Meeting to update the bylaw on the taking of property for unpaid property taxes. The Trust did not vote on any remedy during the session; trustees noted the matter requires coordination with the Treasurer, Conservation Agent and Town Planner to determine allowable uses and any constraints tied to conservation zoning.
The transcript does not specify parcel identifiers, the number of properties involved, or proposed uses; those details will need to be clarified in follow-up staff reports.
