This tenant has been issued a Notice to Quit. Mrs. Botsford followed up with the attorney on this, and we hope to avoid going to court to get possession. Vincent continues to assist in Brewster one day a week, as needed. Mrs. Botsford reported that she had Beard back from MHP today with regards to requesting a feasibility study for the 950 Falmouth Road property. The report from Laura Shufelt at MHP is that the property would not be feasible for a large development.The parcel is in a flagged area for Priority habitat for endangered species (probably turtles). This would reduce the buildable area to under an acre on each site. The 3.26 acre site is bisected by an intermittent stream (maybe more than intermittent) which also limits the buildable area. There is no public water to the site, further limiting the number of units. So, the land may be OK for a couple of Habitat homes, but couldn't support enough units for a rental project. Mrs. Botsford will advise both the Board of Selectmen and the Affordable Housing Committee. Mrs. Botsford reported two small accounts receivable that she would suggest the board vote to write off. Both are from previous Breezy Acres tenants and the total is $2,128.54. A motion was made by Ms. Page 2 of
