Topics of Discussion:
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 PM.
The committee voted and approved the minutes as submitted.
The Permanent Building Committee Bylaw was approved at Town Meeting.
The committee resumed discussion about town property.
The Burbank Ice Arena was discussed and that the land adjacent to it was off limits. Bill
Brown had a discussion with Mr. Burbank who apparently told him this.
The ASTM Manual was discussed by the committee as a resource to perform building
assessments.
The discussion on town owned land resumed. A definition of Article 97 was shown and
explained by Mr. Stepler.
The open space and recreation plan inventory was also discussed.
Symonds Way Field/ Burbank Ice Arena is noted as being a rare species habitat. It isn't
known if restrictions are placed on the property.
A review of the land use codes and the spreadsheet was reviewed by the committee.
The committee discussed the importance of staying on course when pursuing a piece of land
for a building.

The more information on the spreadsheet the better; such as access, rare species,
endangered species...
70% if the land on the list are conservation land. This doesn't mean that the land isn't
buildable.
Mr. Coote is suggesting we go and look at some of the properties.
Having Kim Honetschlager provide more information and filtering will allow us to see more
properties that may work.
The committee will ask Kim Honetschlager to filter the list and provide more information.
Kim Honetschlager can filter by the following: right of way, endangered species, deed
restrictions, square footage, and wetlands.
Mr. Congdon will also take a look at the list and attempt to narrow it down and possibly a
tour.
Town Building assessment discussion began while looking at the document.
Mr. Stepler had a building assessment from another municipality he converted to a word
document for the group to review.
The equipment list was reviewed. A working document needs to be developed in order to
generate a report.
Killiam MSBA worksheet will be sent to the committee.
GIENAPP Design - ADA upgrade will be sent to the committee.
The next meeting will be at Killiam on June 5, 2017 at 6:00 PM.
A brief discussion about the status of the security study occurred.
The meeting adjourned at 8:45 PM.
