Upper Town Council Discusses Memorandum to Avoid Developer’s Legal Objection
- Meeting Overview:
During the latest Upper Town Council meeting, the main focus was on a proposed memorandum of understanding with Fair Haven Development Holdings to prevent a potential legal objection concerning the town’s housing element and fair share plan. The memorandum involves discussions about designating a property known as the old Verizon property as an area in need of redevelopment.
The council addressed public comments regarding the memorandum of understanding with Fair Haven Development Holdings, a company under contract to purchase the old Verizon property, identified as block 599 lot 51. The memorandum aims to prevent Fair Haven Development Holdings from filing an objection to the town’s housing element and fair share plan by the objection deadline of August 31st. The council discussed preserving home rule by negotiating with Fair Haven Development Holdings, rather than allowing the courts to decide the property’s fate if an objection is raised. Although the specifics of the proposed development were not disclosed, the council noted that further discussions would be necessary to consider officially designating the property as an area in need of redevelopment.
