Trustees discuss recording options as Poor Farm easement nears completion
Summary
Trustees discussed whether to record the easement plan first or both the plan and deed at once; planning staff suggested recording the plan first, but the registry said order is optional. Town counsel Paul Kleinman offered to assist if parties have questions.
Trustees reviewed the final steps for the Poor Farm easement and the question of recording order. Planning staff suggested recording the plan first so the recording number can be included in the deed, but the county registry and assessor told trustees the order is a matter of preference.
The chair favored recording the plan and deed together to complete the process in one step: "I would rather just do them both at the same time because then it just gets done." Trustees agreed to have Paul Kleinman, who prepared the document, available to answer questions; Paul offered to speak with town representatives or landowners if needed.
Trustees asked that planning and legal staff be the points of contact to ensure the easement language and recording steps are handled consistently; they also agreed to wait to finalize and sign until subcommittee membership is confirmed as part of the timeline for other related items.
