The approved framework would allow 180 housing units on roughly 7 to 8 acres near the existing parking area while placing a conservation restriction on approximately 37 to 38 acres of the remaining site. The negotiation option calls for publicly accessible open space and preserves the town’s legal rights, including potential litigation. The Board also approved the May 11 Special Town Meeting warrant by a 5-0 vote.
