Meeting called to order at 7:30 P.M. 2. Planning Director Callinan spoke to the Board at this time relative to the advertisement for the public hearing for the Zoning Articles to be presented at the Special Town Meeting. Due to the fact that other zoning articles have been received from private citizens and the fact that the zoning amendments would directly affect two developers who have submitted site plans for review by the Planning Board, Planning Director Callinan would prefer to delay the advertisement by one week. Planning Director Callinan stated that he had changed the original zoning amendment, which the Board reviewed last meeting, to be submitted as one zoning article rather than two, Motion: That the advertisement remain as voted - to be advertised September 18 and September 25, 1986. (Genatossio-Annino) Chairperson Flynn in favor. Planners Madan, Sohn and Quinn, opposed. FAILS. Motion: To postpone advertisement of the zoning article for one week.

Planning Director Callinan had reviewed the amended zoning article (to be presented as one article rather than two) with Rande Wilson, Town Manager. This article was presented to the Selectmen for the warrant and the warrant had closed before the Selectmen could be notified of the Planning Board's decision to remain with the article as originally voted on by the Planning Board. Chairperson Flynn and Planning Director Callinan left the meeting to approach the Board of Selectmen to put the original article (as submitted to Judith F. Scott, Town Clerk) in the warrant. The article which is now on the warrant has not been s igned by the Planning Board or -submitted to Town Clerk. Chairperson Flynn and Planning Director Callinan returned from the Selectmen's meeting. At this time Planning Director Callinan does not feel it would be wise to make an issue of this misunderstanding - the change on the latest Article is minor. However, Planning Director Callinan and Chairperson Flynn returned to the Selectmen's meeting at this time to -request that the** warrant be' -reopened. -1- Planning Board's Minutes September 17, 1986 Page -2- Motion: To appoint Planner Annino Acting Clerk.
