A new member was <br />appointed as associate member, Sally List. <br />1375 Main Street: ZBA has tentatively approved the comprehensive permit which <br />would mean the destruction of the dwelling. The developer, Rocco Scippa, has <br />offered the commission $20,000 to aid in moving the house. The commission is <br />considering appealing the decision to remove the house because the ZBA <br />disregarded its own statement that it would wait for an agreement between the <br />RHC and the developer and honor that agreement. However, the ZBA disregarded <br />the agreement between RHC and the developer. Anne Krieg said that she and. <br />Peter H. discussed the possibility of moving the building c ultimately to be used for <br />affordable housing. <br />The appeal would be made to the Superior Court. Clay suggested that we look at <br />the ZBA minutes for May 17 (did ZBA refer to the plans approved by RHC); meet <br />with the water and sewer board; enumerate the reasons why the RHC is considering <br />appealing the ZBA ruling on 1375 Main Street. Clay further suggested that we <br />consider appealing the ruling while also pursuing the option of moving the house <br />at the same time. The commission will have a meeting at 9:00 AM on Friday, July <br />13 to review the minutes of the ZBA meeting of May 17 and decide whether to <br />appeal. <br />Minutes: June 5 and 11 approved <br />Addison-Wesley: The sale of the property fell through. <br />RMLD used 4 of our photos for next year's calendar. <br />370 South Street has been purchased and may be torn down. It is not on our <br />inventory. <br />20 copies of the inventory have been printed, A-L. <br />Mark was tremendously helpful in getting the inventory ready to print. <br />Minutes approved as amended Aug. 7, 2001 LS <br />
