Article 30 To see if the Town will vote pursuant to G.L. c. 40, §15A and Mashpee General Bylaw §3-21 to authorize the Board of Selectmen to transfer title, care, management, custody and/or control of the real property identified as 950 Falmouth Road (Mashpee Assessors Map 93, Parcels 6-0 and 7-0 and Map 94, Parcel 7-0) to the Mashpee Affordable Housing Trust for purposes of developing affordable housing, and to authorize the Board of Selectmen to prepare and execute such agreements, deeds, and other instruments necessary to effect such transfer upon such terms and conditions as the Selectmen shall deem to be in the interest of the Town, or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by the Board of Selectmen Explanation: This Article also seeks Town Meeting authorization to transfer care, management and control of the subject parcel of Town owned land to the Mashpee Affordable Housing Trust for purposes of developing affordable housing. Since the subject parcel was acquired by tax foreclosure, pursuant to General Bylaw §3-21, Town Meeting must first determine whether or not said land shall be held by the Town as conservation land for purposes described in General Law C. 40, Section 8C or shall be held by the Town for another municipal purpose before it can be sold or otherwise transferred. If the Town Meeting determines that the subject parcel shall not be held as conservation land and would be suitable for the proposed affordable housing use, the Selectmen would effect the formal transfer of the parcel to the Mashpee Affordable Housing Trust for the purpose of developing much needed affordable housing in the Town. The Board of Selectmen recommend approval of Article 30 by a vote of 5-0. The Finance Committee recommend approval of Article 30 by a vote of 4-0. Motion made by Selectman Andrew Gottlieb. Motion: I move the Town vote pursuant to G.L. c. 40, §15A and Mashpee General Bylaw §3-21 to authorize the Board of Selectmen to transfer title, care, management, custody and/or control of the real property identified as 950 Falmouth Road (Mashpee Assessors Map 93, Parcels 6-0 and 7-0 and Map 94, Parcel 7-0) to the Mashpee Affordable Housing Trust for purposes of developing affordable housing, and to authorize the Board of Selectmen to prepare and execute such agreements, deeds, and other instruments necessary to effect such transfer upon such terms and conditions as the Selectmen shall deem to be in the interest of the Town. Motion passes unanimously at 8:48 PM.
