Town meeting enters third session Wednesday; term limits, marijuana sales still to be decided

By Carol Britton Meyer

Hull’s marathon 2023 annual town meeting continues Wednesday, May 3, at 7 p.m. in the Hull High School auditorium following Monday and Tuesday night’s sessions spanning nearly eight hours.

Town counsel James Lampke addresses a question at tuesday night’s town meeting. Behind him is moderator george Boylen.

The first session addressed only four warrant articles, while last night’s meeting completed an additional 11 articles, ranging from consideration of allowing accessory dwelling units in single-family homes to rezone the Hull Redevelopment Authority property to prevent major development of the parcel.

There was a no-action vote on the ADU article, and the open space zoning for the HRA was defeated. (See related story in this week's edition of The Hull Times, along with full town meeting coverage.)

Between the two sessions, 15 articles have been addressed, with 11 left.

Remaining articles for consideration by voters relate to requiring affordable housing for any development over 10 units; allowing an existing marijuana dispensary to add retail sales, and setting term limits for elected town boards.
