Notes from the Select Board, December 8, Hybrid meeting

Present:

  • Patrick White, Chair
  • Chuck Cardillo
  • Jamie Minacci
  • Michael Canales, Town Administrator
  1. The attorney for White Pines Condominiums suggested alterations to the proposal submitted at last SB meeting. The proposal would allow some building without a special permit as follows:
    1. Rather than a 500 sq ft, a 300 sq ft addition would be allowed without special permit
    2. The space would be unheated three-season to disallow it being converted into an interior room
    3. This would be a one-time addition
    4. Minacci said the Condominium may have "even more regulations than the Town"
    5. Cardillo said, "By the time it gets to Ned [the Building Inspector] it has been vetted [by the Condo Association]
    6. A motion was made and passed unanimously
  2. Announcements
    1. Minacci announced that bus rides are free in Massachusetts during the month of December
    2. White announced that the Town will present the Red Lion Inn with a proclamation at the annual Senior Holiday Luncheon. It will mark the 50th year that the Red Lion has hosted Stockbridge seniors for the annual holiday luncheon.
  3. The Stockbridge Bowl Stewardship Commission presented the Lake Management Plan (LMP) to the SB. White recommended it be reviewed by consultant David Cameron to assure acceptance by the State. Agreed
  4. White said McCaela Donovan has requested a seat on the Affordable Housing Committee. That would fill the seven seats required. Moved and approved.
  5. There was a motion to approve the changes to the Stockbridge Golf Club officers. Approved
  6. Liquor licenses and entertainment licenses were all approved. However,
    1. White recused himself from Tanglewood liquor and entertainment licenses as he is an abutter to the Linde Center parcel.
    2. The Berkshire Botanical Garden entertainment license was approved with the "same conditions as last year" — which were conditions on Music Mondays — amplification and changed site to across the street.

Meeting adjourned
