TOWN WARRANT - 2010

Article 34: Audette Estates Acquisition and Conservation Easement

Shall the Town vote to direct the Board of Selectmen to support the Conservation Commission’s initiative to purchase the Audette Estates property, 78+/- acres (Map 33 Lots 24-45) between Audette Road and Smith Pond Road, with all expenses not to exceed $275,000.00. The conservation easement will be placed on the entire parcel at the time of the purchase and is to be held by a recognized New Hampshire conservation easement holding entity. This easement will permanently protect the parcel for the benefit of Raymond residents, by preserving the natural resources, wildlife and their habitats and by enhancing the scenic value of open space which are essential parts of Raymond’s rural character as referenced in Raymond’s Master Plan. The one-time fees for legal work, conservation easement preparation, title search, deed recording and stewardship monitoring will be paid out of the Conservation Commission Fund per RSA 36. Therefore, there will be no tax impact.
