[MassHistPres] tear down in an LHD

[Carol Carlson]

Dennis:
We always insist on knowing what will be in it's place before any 
approval is given to tear down anything, even a group of trees.  We ask 
for plans for the intended site/building/etc and we approve/deny as we 
deem best for the LHD, the general and immediate neighborhood, and the 
site itself.  Is just the lot going for $835k, or is the house 
included?  Sounds like the price needs to come down and the broker needs 
to try harder.  Good luck on this one.
