Mrs. Flynn said that she was concerned Town Meeting would never get to the Planning
Board's scheduled development by -law and that we would be better off going with Mr.
Devine's version rather than get nothing passed at all.
Mr. Dolan and Mr. Frederick thought it was too restrictive and seems to ignore
everything discussed during the meetings held with the builders in an attempt to reach a
compromise.
Mr. Burke recommended supporting both of the articles and noted that the earlier in the
evening the article gets discussed, the better chance we would see of getting it passed.
Motion: To support Richard Devine's scheduled development by -law as
amended.
(Flynn- French) 4 -2 with Dolan and Frederick opposed. PASSES
Mr. Burke advised the board that the twenty -one days given the developers of Massapoag
Estates to complete the work required has now elapsed and that the work has not been
done. He recommended that the board find them in default and direct the Town Treasurer
to take the developers' surety in order that the Town can have the work completed.
Motion: To find the developers of Massapoag Estates in default and to direct the
Town Treasurer/Town Counsel to take the steps necessary to
seize the developers' surety and have the Town complete the required
work.
