5.Polpis Rd Repaving. There was a discussion regarding maintaining a
sense of place which some people feel does not include reflectors in the
center of the road. Others were neutral. The letter to the Mass DOT was
discussed but was not available for all to see. Ian will scan the letter so
that it can be sent out to NHC members.
6.In town Bike Path, Goose Pond. The letter of August 29 was passed
around the room. Kevin Kuester suggested that the letter be revised;
Diane Combs will work with Michael May. NHC members are not opposed
to the bike path but would like, and in fact, need, existing conditions to
make a comparison.

complimenting the work that was done on the renovation, read a letter to
Brona Simon at MHC from the NHC approving the application for tax credit

Deborah to other town boards was discussed. Other boards invited to
send a representative to the NHC meetings would be the HDC, Planning
Board, the Land Bank and the Conservation Commission.
9.Meeting with Planning Board. The meeting scheduled for Sept 8 was
cancelled because the notice had not been posted in time. Barry Rector
suggested that the Planning Board and the NHC have an open meeting at
a future date. Barry will contact Debbie with a date.
10.New Business. Diane Coombs has an idea that the NHC should study the
problem of Demolition by Neglect using the problems of 6 Gull Island as
an example of a problem to be solved. It will be a continuing discussion to
be brought up at future meetings.
