The Representative Town Meeting gave its approval Wednesday for the town to enter into an option to purchase agreement with DonMar Development for the 14-acre William Seely School property. The vote was 27-2, with three abstentions. The option agreement is for one year, but could be extended for another six months. The price for the property is $1, and the developer will cover the estimated $1 million cost of demolishing the school building, according to Town Manager John Burt. During discussions, several RTM members had concerns or questions about access to the development. DonMar Project Executive Anthony Di Gioia said DonMar currently has two options: Seely School Drive and an easement adjacent to the water tower that would allow for a main access onto Walker Hill Road. He said DonMar also made an offer to a property owner next to the easement.
