EXPLANATION
Floor Area ratio (FAR) is lite measurement of a buildings total Boor mea in relation to the size of the
lot on which it is located.'rhe Boor area would be measured across all floors of the building. The Use
of Business/Residential in this zone was established in 2016 with a Far of 0.8. This seeks to increase
the FAR to a more favorable 1.50 which is more in line with FAR in other Business zones; Business I
is 2.5 FAR, Business 2 is 1.5 FAR.
The rear setback for B4 was also adjusted in 2016 to the 40' to protect residential properties abutting
any B4 lots, but there are many lots where a Business or Industrial Zone or Use is located at the rear lot
line. This change would allow for less setback of only 20 feel on those lots and this would be mom in
line with other Business and Industrial rear setbacks. This setback would work in conjunction with the
increased FAR to allow for suitable Mixed Use buildings to be built in this Business Zone.

"Authorize the Board of Selectman to implement whatever is required to stop fluoridating
Mansfield public water including but not limited to obtaining a Home Rule Exemption from
Chapter 111 Section8C."
Reasoning: Establishing Home Rule Exemption may be required to give the Town the flexibility
to act without being bound to the distinctly odd and unique wording of MA fluoridation law.
AMENDMENT PASSED
At this point a quorum was challenged and it was declared there was no quorum.
Motion was made to withdraw Article 33 -Motion Passed to withdraw Article 33.
