Meeting Held in Person in Planning Department Conference Room
Present: Michael Feck, Joe Cerretani, and Beth Ashman -Collins
Sarah Raposa, Director of Planning & Development
Motion to approve: Ms. Ashman -Collins; Seconded by: Mr. Feck. The Vote:
areas that were developed with R3 dimensions, to R3 was a preferred option. Joe Cerretani
summarized that what we are doing is "using data to adjust zoning to make our existing
traditional neighborhoods predominantly conforming. The goal is to preserve community
character."
RI & R2 District Frontage Requirements. There was general agreement about the proposals to
give a little more dimensional flexibility for the creation of new lots. This flexibility would
come from reducing RI frontage required from 200 to 150 and R2 from 150 down to 125 as well
as adding a lot width requirement to schedule 4.2.A. The yield in new lots is expected to be
modest, but give more options when working with irregularly shaped parcels. Adding "per unit'
to the lot size requirements for two-family units will make the table easier to understand.
A question was raised about which of these articles will need a simple majority at town meeting
rather than a super -majority because they promote housing. Sarah indicated the ADU article will
only need a simple majority, but would look into when the R2-R3 change meets the criteria for a
simple majority vote.
A special town meeting is scheduled for the week of January 6t".
The group reviewed the proposed language to allow the planning board to waive the public
sewer for §230-3.3I(5) Assisted care retirement facilities and §230-3.3J(8) Residential facilities
