OLD BUSINESS
Town Highway Barn Property - Bald Hill Road
Supervisor Oltz reported Scott Engelhart has signed the proposal for purchase of the Town Highway
Barns located at 15 Bald Hill Road . The Town has received a letter from Mr. Engelhart asking if
he could use the property before the scheduled closing date . Our Town Attorney said that a title
search should be done on the property and approval from Mr. Engelhart ' s Attorney should be
obtained before he takes possession of the property. Sale of the Old Town Barns is subject to
permissive referendum .
Discussion:
Councilperson Johnson said that she sees that as a major problem for somebody to start using the
property prior to closing . The purchaser then becomes a tenant and should be charged rental and
liability is also a factor .
Supervisor Oltz said that Mr. Engelhart has signed the proposal and agrees with the purchase price
and has signed the purchase offer. The sale of the property is subject to permissive referendum . It
is the Board ' s decision as to whether we allow Mr. Engelhart to use the property prior to closing.
If he wants to use the building he must wait until the time of filing of petition for a permissive
referendum has passed and his attorney has approved the title search .
Councilperson Steiner said that Mr . Engelhart would have to provide liability insurance as part of
a lease agreement . The purchase offer is contingent upon obtaining a re-zoning of the property .
The purchase offer for the Old Town Barns was reviewed by the Board and a letter from Scott
Engelhart requesting permission to lease the property until the closing .
Councilperson Schwartz said that Board should earmark the proceeds from the sale of the Town
Barns toward the construction of unheated storage facilities at the Highway Barns on Hornbrook
Road for the storage of the equipment that is at Bald Hill Road. The Highway Superintendent said
there is need for storage of seasonal equipment.
Councilperson Steiner said that he would like to see the proceeds of the sale of the property
addressed when it is received and included in the 1998 Town Budget .
