[Year-Round Housing Committee] May 24 minutes and "homework assignment"

[Mlongreene2 at aol.com]

Hi All,   Attached and opened please find the minutes from the  last meeting. 
 Thank you to Alden for taking them and all the quiet support  work he does.  
     For next meeting,  we agreed  to bring in "conditions or suggestions" as 
to what would make a desirable house  from the perspective of the next 
potential owners after the first folks  build it.  In other words, what would you 
want to see in a house if you  were going to consider buying it (example - 
minimum number of  bedrooms).     
Contrary to what I said at the meeting, maybe it would be a good idea to  
think about these now and send them to me and I will compile a draft working  
list so we have it ready to discuss at the next meeting.   In  addition, we will 
try another tackle of possible lease conditions. 
Reminder, meetings are now the second and fourth Wednesday of the month at  
the Learning Center at 7PM with the next meeting on Wed., June 13.
 
Best,   Mark
 
 
Town of  Long  Island
Year-Round Housing Committee
Minutes, 24 May  2007

Present: Mark Greene (chair); Will Tierney; Amy Tierney; Tammy Hohn;  John 
Billings; Mary Nanos; Leah Doughty; Alden Robinson (Island  Fellow).

Meeting called to order at 7:10 p.m.

Minutes from  previous meeting approved unanimously.

The committee shared thoughts on  the events at town meeting, generally 
agreeing that it was a great  success.  Mark Greene said that unfortunately one of 
the parcels selected  for lease (#344 at the corner of Beach Ave. and Fern 
Ave.) was not available  after all, as it was donated to the town with conditions 
that it be used for  school purposes.

Mark Greene also shared a letter he had drafted to send  to abutters of 
properties the YRHC hoped to use.  It invited abutters to  share concerns and ideas 
for the project(s), and might lead to better  configuration of some lots. 

The committee discussed the  application/selection committee, which the 
selectmen will appoint over the  summer.  Applications for the committee will be 
due to the selectmen July  1st.  The A/S committee will first work on finalizing 
the selection  criteria, and then will consider applications for housing 
projects.  Alden  Robinson will be available to support the committee's work.

John Billings  and Mary Nanos shared plans and brochures for modular houses 
that they picked up  on a trip to the mainland.  Options for many of these 
houses can be  selected "a la carte", and can even include appliances.  Heating 
systems  can also be pre-installed or left to the buyer.

The committee agreed to  meet bi-weekly, on the second and fourth Wednesday 
of each month.  For the  next meeting, the committee agreed to think about 
sample parameters for  buildings constructed on YRHC lots.  Next meeting is June 
13th at 7 p.m. at  the Learning  Center.

Meeting  adjourned, 7:55 p.m.
