The Transit-Oriented Development Zoning Overlay District is to encourage redevelopment of vacant or underutilized lands surrounding the train station. The Mansfield Strategic Plan, completed in 2012, identified redevelopment of the area surrounding the train station as a key component to revitalization of the northwest portion of downtown. In fact, the Strategic Plan charrette ranked the train station area second only to Cabot Business Park as the area of the community most in need of economic revitalization. First discussed in Mansfield in 2005 as a result of the Hatheway-Patterson Reuse Plan, Transit- Oriented Development has been through a variety of changes over the years,from a very high- density, mixed-use proposal in 2005 to today's far more modest-density, mixed-use proposal. The 2008 Master Plan Charrette, an all-day event that was attended by over 100 participants, identified development of the train station area/Hatheway-Patterson site as a top economic development priority. Most recently, BETA Group was retained to identib, the optimum access location, having the minimum impact on adjacent neighborhoods, to the undeveloped/underdeveloped land on the west side of the railroad tracks and to begin design of that access route. BETA Group is completing its final report now. The proposed TOD Overlay District includes the following: • Vacant or underutilized land on the west side of the railroad tracks and a small portion of land zoned BI on the east side of the tracks, as shown on the attached map. • Proposed design guidelines include retail uses required on the first floor for an extension of the downtown unified design. • Pedestrian oriented; walkable, human scale; • Mixed use, commercial, retail, office; • Live/work, studio The Transit-Oriented Development Overlay District would allow these additional uses without changing any of the existing allowed uses in the Industrial 3 (13) or Business 1 (BI)zones. With the presence of MMAS and the National Black Doll Museum on North Main Street, as well as the town's plans to renovate the North Common, the pedestrian-oriented Transit-Oriented Development district, with live/work space and studio space, will provide complementary uses to existing downtown cultural and arts uses. Implementation of a Transit-Oriented Development district will allow complementary mixed uses (business and residential) within walking distance of the train station and downtown that will provide the necessary link to the traditional downtown area. The proposed TOD zoning will assist property owners with redevelopment of their properties and promote growth that benefits the Town. A Transit-Oriented Development District will bring new development options and densities that are able to bring a far higher value type of development and employment opportunities than current zoning allows. ARTICLE 20—Vote I move that the Zoning By-Law be amended by adding a new Section 5.12, Mansfield Station Revitalization Overlay District and by amending the Schedule of Principal Use Regulations to add a new column for the Mansfield Station Revitalization Overlay District and by amending Section 4.2.2, Density and Dimensional Regulations, Business and Industrial Districts, to add a new column for the Mansfield Station Revitalization Overlay District and by amending Section 2.2 to add a new Section 2.2.7 to adopt a new map designating the location of the Mansfield Station Revitalization Overlay District, all as set forth in the Warrant.

Explanation: It is the intent of this by-law to allow increased density and promote business development along Copeland Drive and a portion of Route 106 (Chauncy Street), while allowing buildings to be closer to the street and requiring additional landscaping/buffering when those buildings abut residential properties. The Copeland Drive/Route 106 area would become the Gateway Business (B4) District. In the Gateway Business district, the Copeland Drive/Route 106 area,permitted density would increase though an increase in Floor Area Ratio. [Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is a density measure expressing the ratio between a building's total floor area and its site coverage. To calculate FAR, the gross square footage of a building is divided by the total area of the lot. FAR conveys a sense of the bulk or mass of a structure, and is useful in measuring non-residential and mixed-use density (Lincoln Institute of Land Policy).) Floor Area Ratio in B4 From (in B3) To Office 0.25 0.60 Retail 0.25 0.50 Other Non Residential 0.25 0.60 No use changes are proposed in the Gateway Business (B4)zone. Mixed use residential/business is not allowed. In addition, the Board proposes to reduce the front yard setback to thirty feet (30') and increase the landscaped buffer strip to a minimum of twenty feet (20') deep at the side and/or rear of the property.

AN ACT ESTABLISHING THE MANSFIELD ECONOMIC AND INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION SECTION 1. The general court finds and declares that unused, underused, substandard, undeveloped or underdeveloped areas exist in certain portions of the town of Mansfield and that each such area constitutes a serious and growing menace, injurious and inimical to the safety, health, morals and welfare of the residents of the town; that each such area constitutes an economic liability, substantially impairs or arrests the sound growth of the town, and retards the economic well-being of the commonwealth; that each decreases the value of private investments and threatens the sources of public revenue; that redevelopment of each such area in accordance with an economic development plan for the elimination of such conditions and the prevention of their recurrence is necessary to retain existing industries, commerce, and businesses, and attract new industries, commerce, and business and promote the sound economic growth of the town; that the menace of such areas is beyond remedy and control solely by regulatory process in the exercise of the police power and cannot be dealt with effectively by the ordinary operations of private enterprise without the aid herein provided; that the acquisition of property for the purpose of eliminating such conditions therein, preventing recurrence of such conditions in the area, the removal of structures and improvements of sites for manufacturing, industrial, commercial and business uses, the disposition of the property for redevelopment incidental to the foregoing, the exercise of powers by the corporation and any assistance which may be given by the town, or any other public body in connection therewith are public uses and purposes for which public money may be expended and the power of eminent domain exercised; and that the acquisition, planning, clearance, development, rehabilitation or rebuilding of such unused, underused, substandard, undeveloped or underdeveloped areas for industrial, manufacturing, commercial and business purposes, are public uses and benefits for which private property may be acquired by eminent Phone (508)261-7345 • Fax (508)261-1083 • Email: mstaples@mangieldma.com domain or regulated by wholesome and reasonable orders, laws and directions and for which public funds may be expended for the good and welfare of the town and of this commonwealth. The general court further finds and declares that there exists in the town a condition of substantial underemployment which causes hardship to many individuals and families, wastes vital human resources, increases the public assistance burdens, impairs the security of family life, impedes the economic and physical development of the town and adversely affects the welfare and prosperity of the people; that underemployment has been caused in part by industrial, manufacturing and other businesses and companies moving from the town; that various existing industrial, manufacturing and commercial facilities within the town are obsolete and inefficient; that such facilities are underutilized or vacated, thereby creating lack of employment opportunities that the manufacturing and industrial sector of the economy, and commercial and business enterprises, provide the best immediate opportunities for better jobs at higher wages for inhabitants of the town; that new industrial and manufacturing sites, and sites for commercial and business enterprises are required to attract and house new industries and businesses and to retain existing industries in need of expansion space; that the unaided efforts of private enterprise have not provided and cannot provide the necessary industrial, commercial and business sites within the town due to problems encountered in the assembly of suitable building sites, the provision of adequate public services, the unavailability of sufficient private capital for development, and the inability of private enterprise alone to plan, finance and coordinate industrial, commercial and business development projects. The general court further finds and declares that there exists considerable open and underutilized land, in part brownfields land, suitable for industrial, commercial and business development; that there is substantial underemployment that exists in the town of Mansfield due to corporate mergers and downsizing; that there has been a significant reduction in commercial and industrial property tax revenue share; that there exists a number of home businesses that have moved out of the town of Mansfield when they have outgrown their space within the home due to lack of available industrial, commercial and business building space, and that the town of Mansfield is experiencing increased formidable competition from nearby areas of rapid economic growth.

The principal of and interest on the bonds shall be payable solely from the funds herein provided for such payment. The bonds of each issue shall be dated, shall bear interest at such rates, and shall mature at such time or times not exceeding 40 years from their date or dates, as determined by the corporation, and may be made redeemable before maturity, at the option of the corporation, at such price or prices and under such terms and conditions as fixed by the corporation prior to the issuance of the bonds. The corporation shall determine the form of the bonds, including any interest coupons to be attached thereto, and the manner of execution of the bonds, and shall fix the denomination or denominations of the bonds and the place or places of payment of principal and interest, which may be at any bank or trust company within the commonwealth. In case any officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature shall appear on any bonds or coupons shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of the bonds, the signature or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes the same as if he had remained in office until the delivery. The bonds may be issued in coupon or registered form or both, as the corporation may determine and provision may be made for the registration of any coupon bonds as to principal alone and also as to both principal and interest. The corporation may sell the bonds in a manner, either at public or at private sale, and for a price, as it determines to be for the best interests of the corporation. The proceeds of the bonds shall be used solely for the payment of the cost of the project or projects, and shall be disbursed in a manner and under restrictions, if any, as the corporation may provide. Prior to the preparation of definitive bonds, the corporation may, under like restrictions, issue interim receipts or temporary bonds, with or without coupons, exchangeable for definitive bonds when the bonds have been executed and are available for delivery. The corporation may also provide for the replacement of any bonds which shall become mutilated or shall be destroyed or lost. Revenue bonds may be issued under the provisions of this act subject only to those proceedings, conditions or things which are specifically required by this act. The corporation may provide by resolution for the issuance of revenue refunding bonds of the corporation for the purpose of refunding any revenue bonds then outstanding and issued under this act, including the payment of any redemption premium thereon and any interest accrued or to accrue to the date of redemption of the bonds, and, if deemed advisable by the corporation, for the additional purpose of constructing or reconstructing any extensions or improvements of the project. The issue of the bonds, the maturities, and other details thereof, the rights of the holders thereof, and the duties of the corporation in respect of the same may be applicable. While any bonds issued by the corporation remain outstanding, the powers, duties or existence of the corporation shall not be diminished or impaired in any way that will affect adversely the interests and rights of the holders of such bonds. Revenue and revenue refunding bonds issued under this section, unless otherwise authorized by law, shall not be deemed to constitute a debt of the commonwealth or of the town, or a pledge of the faith and credit of the commonwealth or of the town, but the bonds shall be payable solely from the funds herein provided therefor from revenues. In the event that the corporation, or town or commonwealth is not obliged to pay the revenue and revenue refunding bonds, then, and in that event, all the revenue and revenue refunding bonds shall contain on the face thereof a statement to the effect that neither the corporation nor the commonwealth nor the town shall be obliged to pay the same or the interest thereon except from revenues and that neither the faith and credit nor taxing power of the commonwealth or of the town is pledged to the payment of the principal of or the interest on the bonds. All revenue and revenue refunding bonds issued under the provisions of this act shall have and are hereby declared to have all the qualities and incidents of negotiable instruments as defined in section 3-104 of chapter 106 of the General Laws. SECTION 14. In the discretion of the corporation such revenue bonds or revenue refunding bonds may be secured by a trust agreement by and between the corporation and a corporate trustee, which may be any trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company within the commonwealth. The trust agreement may pledge or assign the revenues to be received, but shall not convey or mortgage any project or part thereof. Either the resolution providing for the issuance of bonds or such trust agreement may contain provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bondholders as are reasonable and proper and not in violation of law, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions defining defaults and providing for remedies in the event thereof, which may include the acceleration of maturities, and covenants setting forth the duties of, and limitations on, the corporation in relation to the acquisition, construction, improvement, enlargement, alteration, equipping, furnishing, maintenance, operation, repair, insurance and disposition of property, the custody, safeguarding, investment, and application of moneys, the use of any surplus bond or note proceeds and the establishment of reserves. The resolution or trust agreement may also contain covenants by the corporation in relation to, among other things: (1) the establishment, revision and collection of rents and charges for services of facilities furnished or supplied by the corporation as shall provide revenues sufficient with other revenues of the project, if any, to pay(i)the cost of maintaining, repairing and operating the project and of making renewals and replacements in connection therewith, (ii) the principal of and the interest on the revenue bonds as the same shall become due and payable, (iii) payments in lieu of,taxes, betterment and special assessments, and (iv) reserves for all such purposes; (2) the purpose or purposes for which the proceeds of the sale of the bonds shall be applied and the use and disposition thereof; (3) the use and disposition of the gross revenues of the corporation from the project, any additions thereto and extensions and improvements thereof, including the creation and maintenance of funds for working capital and for renewals and replacements to the project; (4) the amount, if any, of additional revenue bonds payable from the revenues of the project and the limitations, terms and conditions on which such additional revenue bonds may be issued; and (5) the operation, maintenance, management, accounting and auditing of the project and of the income and revenues of the corporation. It shall be lawful for any bank or trust company incorporated under the laws of the commonwealth to act as depository of the proceeds of bonds or of revenues and to furnish the indemnifying bonds or to pledge such securities as may be required by the corporation. The trust agreement may set forth the rights and remedies of the bondholders and of the trustee, and may restrict the individual right of action by bondholders as is customary in trust agreements or trust indentures securing bonds and debentures of corporations. In addition to the foregoing, the trust agreement may contain other provisions as the corporation deems reasonable and proper for the security of the bondholders. All expenses incurred in carrying out the trust agreement may be treated as a part of the cost of the operation of the project. The pledge by any such trust agreement or resolution shall be valid and binding from the time when the pledge is made; the revenues or other moneys so pledged and then held or thereafter received by the corporation shall immediately be subject to the lien of the pledge without any physical delivery thereof or further act; and the lien of the pledge shall be valid and binding as against all parties having claims of any kind in tort, contract or otherwise against the corporation, irrespective of whether the parties have notice thereof. Neither the resolution nor any trust agreement by which pledge is created need be filed or recorded except in the records of the corporation, and no filing need be made under chapter 106 of the General Laws. SECTION 15. Revenue bonds and revenue refunding bonds issued under the provisions of this act are hereby made securities in which all public officers and public bodies of the commonwealth and its political subdivisions, all insurance companies, trust companies in their commercial departments and within the limits set by section 14 of chapter 167E of the General Laws, banking associations, investment companies, executors, trustees and other fiduciaries, and all other persons whatsoever who are now or may hereafter be authorized to invest in bonds or other obligations of a similar nature may properly and legally invest funds, including capital in their control or belonging to them; and the bonds are hereby made obligations which may properly and legally be made eligible for the investment of savings deposits and the income thereof in the manner provided by section 2 of chapter 167F of the General Laws.

Explanation: The recently approved Strategic Plan for the Town of Mansfield included a recommendation that the Town create an Economic Development Corporation. An Economic Development Corporation is specific public entity that can engage in economic development activities on commercially and industrially zoned properties. The corporation can only act on plans that have been developed by the corporation and approved at Town Meeting by a 2/3rds vote. The corporation can only use eminent domain based upon the plans that are approved by Town Meeting and after a further Town Meeting vote by a 2/3rds majority. The members of the Economic Development Corporation are appointed by the Board of Selectmen and can be removed by the Board of Selectmen. The Economic Development Corporation is an additional tool to allow development and redevelopment within the commercially and industrially zoned areas within the community. ARTICLE 31 -Vote I move that the Town's representatives to the General Court be requested to file with the General Court a home rule petition for the enactment of legislation as set forth in the Warrant for the creation of an economic development corporation, provided that the fifth paragraph of section 3 is changed to "Any member may be removed by the board of selectmen with or without cause."; and that the General Court, with the approval of the Board of Selectmen, be authorized to make constructive changes in language as may be necessary or advisable towards perfecting the intent of this legislation to secure passage. --A TIE RESULTED IN A HAND COUNT AND THE MODERATOR DECLARED THE MOTION FAILED 46 Y 46 N -AT THAT TIME,SEVEN VOTERS CHALLENGED THE DECISION --A.

Staples, CMMC To Whom It May Concern: This is to verify that the following is a vote taken at the May 7, 2014 session of the April 8, 2014 Annual Town Meeting. Said meeting was held at the Mansfield High School Auditorium, East Street, Mansfield,Massachusetts. There was a quorum present and voting. ARTICLE 33 To see if the town will vote to accept a sex offender residency restriction bylaw, the text of which is set forth below; or take any action in relation thereto. SEX OFFENDER RESIDENCY AND SAFETY ZONE BY-LAW WITH MAP Determinations, Intent and Historical context The purpose and intent of this Bylaw is in keeping with the understanding that sex offenders classified as level 2 or 3 pose a moderate to high risk of re-offense. By imposing guidelines to potential residents and sex offenders it promotes transparency throughout the community and acknowledges that those who are at highest risk are children,the elderly, and the disabled. The goal is to mitigate any potential risk of harm to those who may be the most likely to be victimized by deterring the movement of those who present the greatest risk to the locations of potential victims. The Massachusetts sex offender registry law was first enacted in 1996. After a series of 5 cases at the Supreme Judicial Court level (Doe v. Attorney General (s), 1997, 1997, 1997, 1998, 1999), it was determined by the state legislature that the law should be amended to reflect the rulings. In 1999 the Massachusetts state legislature amended the states sex offender registry to reflect the due process issues presented in the preceding 5 cases and creating the process that we find today being utilized. This process has emerged unchanged over the preceding decade despite numerous legal challenges due to the changes made in 1999. This bylaw is presented with the careful consideration given to the important and difficult process of classification of Sex offenders. The process is found under Massachusetts general law ch. 6 § 178 as well as 803 C.M.R. 1.00. The procedural system that is currently in place is the result of numerous legal challenges and legislative amendments. It includes a 5 step process to satisfy due process checks and balances. The process of registration is one that begins with a written pre- registration, then, includes a board recommended classification which the offender Phone (508)261-7345 • Fax (508)261-1083 • Email: mstaples@manOeldma.com may accept or request a full administrative hearing on, and ultimately a right to appeal said hearing result to superior court for judicial review. It is with these numerous safeguards and due process opportunities in place that this bylaw is presented for consideration. Attached for consideration is a map of the community which is subject to change per the regulations recommended herein over time. SECTION 1.

Staples, CMMC To Whom It May Concern: This is to verify that the following is a vote taken at the May 7, 2014 session of the April 8, 2014 Annual Town Meeting. Said meeting was held at the Mansfield High School Auditorium, East Street,Mansfield, Massachusetts. There was a quorum present and voting. ARTICLE 40 By way of this document, I respectfully request review of the recent enforcement of bylaw Chapter 6 Section 3. It states: Sect ion III No person shall play any game in which a ball is used or shoot with bow and arrow or air gun or throw stones or any other missile in any street or public way. Recently the police told the kids on Highland Avenue they were not allowed to play on the street any more. After some research I cannot find justification based on preponderance of evidence. Highland Avenue is a cul-de-sac. The 20+ children playing on the end of this road range from age 6 to 16. They play street hockey and baseball with a tennis ball, "kick the can"with a plastic Pepsi bottle, and basketball in front of their own houses, in front of mine as well. To my knowledge, there have been no broken windows, no damage to property, no late nights etc. Maybe a curse or a tussle here and there but that goes with the territory and the sportsmanship; lessons learned the old-school way; it's wonderful watching it over the years. I, along with other residents, petition you so this won't be taken away from our neighborhood at the request of one resident who, from what I've gathered, doesn't like the tennis ball bouncing in their yard. I have heard no other justification. These are an outstanding group of young men whom I've watched grow up for most of their lives. They're athletes of this town who are practicing their sports on the street a couple of days a week for a couple of hours a day, mentoring other youngsters, and are a pleasure to watch; instead of doing other things they could perhaps be doing that keep the law busy and the police log filled. Phone (508)261-7345 • Fax (508)261-1083 • Email: mstaples@manOeldma.com Without further ado I respectfully request a language change to this bylaw: Please remove "play any game in which a ball is used or." Please add an additional sentence "No person shall play any game in which a ball is used on any sidewalk, public way, public place or street, in such a manner so as to endanger the public or obstruct free passage of pedestrians or motor vehicle traffic." Although I do realize this must be presented at Town Meeting in May, could you postpone this ban until such time that this can be heard by the people of Mansfield? Quite honestly I don't know how to answer when my son asks why they can't play outside anymore. It really bothered me when he asked if he'd be arrested by the police if throws the ball around with the neighbor. I thank you for your consideration Terry Longley SPONSOR: Citizen Petition by Terry Longley and 9 others Explanation: None provided by sponsor.

Retail Use Greater than 25,000 square One per 250 square feet of gross floor feet area SPONSOR: Citizen Petition by Karl D. Clemmey and 17 others Explanation: This article proposes reducing the number of parking spaces required for large Retail stores from 1 for every 200 sq.ft. of store (5 per 1000) to 1 for every 250 sq.ft. of store (4 per 1000). This matter was discussed by the Planning board last year and again this year with positive support from members. The parking lots at big stores such as Kohl's, Home Depot, and Sports Authority are significantly under-utilized; typically only using 50-70% of the parking on the busiest days. National averages for parking ratios are between 3.5 and 4.5 for stores this size. This would put the parking lots in line with the national averages. This will not impact parking for smaller retail stores under 25,000 sq. ft. where parking is thought to be at a premium.

Clemmey and 15 others Explanation: This 5000 sq.ft. lot is on a corner with 3 houses on the other 3 corners. It is in a Residential neighborhood of similar size lots with small houses. It is currently a business zoned lot that was put in B3 in 1989 when the area was classified as part of initial zoning. It was a residential lot before that time and has never been part of the Business area. It is a nonbuildable lot under Business with no possible variance available because of the setbacks. The lot could be built under R2 with a minimal variance that has been granted on similar lots. The adjoining business lot cannot utilize this lot as it's building cannot be expanded. This would make a nice house lot for a small house in the residential area.
