A Habitat for Humanity house, drinking alcohol on the beach, and meeting dates were a few of the items discussed at the Marion Special Town Meeting on November 26.

During the 40-minute meeting, the town's registered voters passed all five of the articles presented.

Below is a closer look at what was discussed at the Special Town Meeting:

Habitat for Humanity - PASSED

Although Buzzards Bay Area Habitat for Humanity received approval from the Planning Board to build a home in town, the project has yet to break ground.

The home, which would be located on a 19,000 square-foot lot at 185 Wareham Road, would also be the first of its kind in Marion.

To help offset costs of the project, voters decided to allow $30,000 to be donated to Habitat for Humanity from various town funds.

Now that the proposal has been approved, $10,000 each will be taken from the Open Space Acquisition Commission, Community Housing, and the town’s estimated annual revenues.

Community Preservation funds - PASSED

Registered voters approved $84,300 for the use of affordable housing and historic preservation projects.

This request is made annually at Town Meeting, said Town Administrator Paul Dawson

Under state law and the Community Preservation Act, Dawson said the town is required to use 10 percent of the funds from the estimated annual revenues to support such projects.

A change to the May Town Meeting date - PASSED

In a proposal brought before Town Meeting by Town Clerk Ray Pickles, voters approved a revision to the town’s bylaws that would move the spring Town Meeting date from the third Monday in May to the second Monday.

“The meeting almost always falls before the Memorial Day weekend,” Dawson said. “This is a terrible time to get voter participation and to get volunteers to help work the polls that day.”

Drinking alcohol on the beach with a license - PASSED

Voters approved an amendment to an existing town bylaw that would require any resident to obtain a liquor license from the Selectmen to drink alcohol on a town beach.
