Board authorizes survey and explores purchase of 0.27-acre parcel behind Town Hall
Summary
An owner offered a 0.27-acre parcel behind Town Hall for $20,000; the board authorized the supervisor to pursue the offer and approved a $4,250 survey expenditure to confirm lot boundaries and evaluate suitability for parking or a small annex.
An owner has offered to sell a 0.27-acre parcel adjacent to Town Hall for $20,000. The board discussed potential public uses (additional parking, improved staff access to above-ground office space) and legal and planning steps including a lot-line adjustment and planning-board review if necessary.
Supervisor said the town will pursue a survey before committing to purchase: a bid from a local surveyor (Kimmi Schmidt) for $4,250 was presented and the board approved the survey expense. Counsel noted the town may acquire property for a public purpose (parking) and that a survey and appraisal were already posted publicly; the board asked staff to confirm whether any county survey exists before proceeding further.
Members asked staff to consider rock and site constraints that could affect future parking costs and to prepare public-notice steps should the board move to purchase the parcel.
