Chad said he could not put an article in that way. He suggested preparing a handout to go along with the article. Chairman Kaufman asked if the board could see the before and after com- parison of the parking by-law amendments before the Town Meeting. Planner Genatossio asked about the 400 ft. for municipal parking lots and multi- family dwellings. She asked if the board could, just limit this 400 ft. to business. She feels that 400 ft. is to far away for multi -family parking. Planning Director stated that the 400 ft is used more often than the 200 ft. There was some discussion by board members. At the end of the discussion, the 400 ft. was kept instead of changing it to 1 200 ft for multi -family units. i Planning Board's minutes January 13, 1982 Page 4 10.
