The most notable agenda item was the approval of a tax abatement for Kathleen Lugos’ property, which had been incorrectly taxed as a buildable lot. The land has a conservation restriction in place since 2017, which qualifies it for a reduced tax rate. The administrative assessor explained that the property should have been treated as non-buildable, similar to other conservation lands. This correction was approved to ensure Lugos is taxed appropriately.

Additionally, the board discussed a notable land transaction involving Lime Quabbin LLC, which acquired a large parcel of land from a seller named Kohl. The board approved the release of a town lien on the seller’s parcel and established a new lien for Lime Quabbin LLC. This transaction has been prominent in local news, and the board’s actions were necessary to update the town’s records to reflect the sale.

The board also reviewed and approved five accountant reports related to motor vehicles and CPA abatements for January and February. These included routine updates and a significant batch of vehicle registrations involving town-owned vehicles and others. Personal exemptions for veterans and seniors were approved without issue.
