Draft Article 20 would let the board take the land by eminent domain at the Conservation Commission's request for conservation, open space and passive recreation; Draft Article 21 would acquire the same acreage, plus a Fallon Road parcel in Stoneham, by gift, purchase or eminent domain under the Community Preservation Act.
