Um I personally am not in favor of creating this bylaw. My biggest concern is how much valuable time that this could take away from our job reviewing polic focusing on budget, teaching and learning priorities, especially with our previous experiences with 13 12 complaints and um knowing how if we're going to put a process in place, we'd have to come up with, you know, there'd have to be an investigation and it just the biggest thing is what would be we need to think through how it would work and what would be the end result of that complaint. What would be the desired outcome? Um that's my personal opinion, but the committee would like obviously to hear from the entire board. So if there were any board members that feel strongly joy, do you want to share your opinion because we differ on this that way then we can have the opposite.

And so I'm just curious about your thoughts on maybe some unique synergies that could be in play there as to what types of tenants might want that. Like I know the community pool is separate from the property, but just like I was just thinking about like our other properties are just smack in the middle these residential zones and you know the community is only going to accept certain kinds of use cases. They're not going to want, you know, uh I know this isn't part of the zoning, but like they don't want an auto like mechanic in there, right? >> Sure. Um, but I was just thinking about that because there are already like community elements in that in that area, >> recreational services, things like that. >> Yeah. So, that's something that comes to mind. And then, uh, the other question I had was um, a lot of our leases that we're looking at are like 15 years.

Is that accurate information? Is it complete information? Do we have thoughts, feelings and opinions about that? And so we might be aware of kind of what the baseline is because they have to present sight control to us at the very beginning in their application. They have to present that actually to the state agencies. And so that's supposed to come out right in the beginning before we even get it. the applicant makes a representation. I have sight control and I have the ability to do this and here's why I believe that. And so I think you're referring to the activity and use limitation. Yeah. Is that right? Okay. And so that is disclosed and it's a matter of record. It's recorded at the registry. And so the state is aware of it. It's it's it's in there at the very beginning. But what's not in there until someone raises it is we disagree.

>> Um I had voiced at the committee meeting that although we have public comment that's not really an opportunity of voicing your concerns names and things like that. Um and email is really there's no back and forth right for either avenue either public comment or through email.

Um I wouldn't want to make that decision in our committee. But yeah, >> no, no, no. Of course, that's what I meant is just having >> but I think it's important because it's misleading in the policy.

Is that driven by us or is that what tenants want for like the stability and knowing they have a long-term home for their business? Yeah. Well, great questions on both of them. Uh for the pool use down the street or the aquatic center. Um I think that it um it could be essentially an amenity for a user who's potentially looking at this. I'm not sure uh how conducive the two uses could be, but it could I think maybe be looked at as an amenity. Maybe there's um if they're located here, there's the aquatics that are down the street and kind of looked at as just another positive for the location. Um the other question about the lease term, uh the lease term is uh mostly driven by the a tenant and given the fact that the amount of capital that they'd have to put into the property, uh it would be challenging for a prospect to put in a certain amount of, you know, money if they didn't have the ability or the right to stay at the facility for a longer period of time.

And so there are a we call them, right, on on lots of sites all over Massachusetts. >> And what happens is they they restrict the site. Um, and when someone comes and seeks to develop it, they of course see this in the the record title and they realize, oh, there's this restriction here that's going to be an issue for the development. How do I satisfy D so I can do the thing I want to do? And so then there's a conversation. And so that conversation can lead to changes to the that restriction. And so it's different than say like a conservation restriction where once it's recorded, it's pretty much written in stone at that point.

So, uh, typically the lease term goes handinhand with the condition of the property. If it was already built out for a specific use, um, and, um, the tenant did not have to do any improvements. I think that the district would have the ability to have a shorter, uh, lease term if that's what the district would like, but mostly it's driven by the the tenants given the amount of capital that they would have to invest in the property. >> And I also have one last question for I know you have to leave soon, but I wanted to ask specifically about workforce housing. I've been a real big advocate for housing, workforce housing, land leasing, and so I wanted to ask about your expertise in that area and what your recommendation could be for, um, potential site for workforce housing as well. >> Sure.
