With regard to the proposed lease by the Town of Duxbury of land owned by the Duxbury Beach Reservation, Inc., consisting of approximately 66 acres and including any improvements thereon, and located at and described as: all the land and interests in the land in the towns of Duxbury and Plymouth called Duxbury Beach owned by the Reservation south of a line running approximately east to west along the northerly edge of the northerly parking area at the east end of Powder Point Bridge and north of the entrance to Gurnet/Saquish, subject to continuation of the Massachusetts Audubon Society migratory shorebird refuge at High Pines, and excluding the land at High Pines now or formerly leased to Patrick J. Cudmore, I would suggest that the Board move that advertising concerning this lease will not benefit the Town's interests because of the unique qualities or location of the property needed by the Town, such land satisfying the Town's unique requirements in the following manner: the property is located immediately adjacent to, and comprises part of, Duxbury Beach and provides access to the Beach; similar access to the Beach is not possible from other locations as the result of the local geography and environmental limitations in the area; and the parcel provides much needed parking for and access to the beach for members of the public
