Joint Meeting with the DAC - Everett Associates' Final Report Michael Everett and Michael Holleran appeared before the Planning Board to present their final report. To open their presentation, a Main Street film was shown. It was pointed out that a Main Street process enables people/businesses to overcome their identity problems. There was some discussion regarding the film, revitalization of buildings, and the process and purpose of a Downtown Manager. Everett Associates also presented the board with drawings of how existing buildings on Main Street could look. Under each drawing there were rehabilitation recommendations. These recommendations were listed in three categories: (1) Small Scale, (2) Large Scale - New Compatibility Storefront, and (3) Larg Scale - Restoration or Reconstruction. Next Everett Associates went on to their recommendations for the revitalization plan of Downtown Mansfield. They made recommendations for the following: parking, redevelopment, circulation, zoning, the middle common and Old Colony walkway, image of the center, and street trees and furniture. Under each topic there were many recommendations which were explained and discussed in detail. Questions were asked. At the end of the pre- sentation, Ralph Seifert informed the board that the Downtown Advisory Committee would be glad to meet with them to discuss any specific issue. 9. Site Plan - Wood Avenue Chairman Seifert said the board is still wainting for information to come back from Town Counsel. He said the third -hand information he received is that the town has no authority to require the developer to comply with the recommendations which were made by staff members. Planning Director said it is considered a private way. He said there is land which was Form A'd on Wood Avenue. He said the lots were just carved out. 10. Around the Table Planner Genatossio asked if anything had been written up regarding the easement with Bonwood. Planning Director said a draft, and the Select- men are going to sign the final easement. He said that if Planner Genatossio would like to see the final easement, he would bring it in. As per an article in the paper, Planner Genatossio asked the Planning Director what Mr. Nelson and Mr. Shepard are doing. Planning Director said he spoke with them four or five months ago. They have been in to see Bertram Cook. At this time, they have not applied for a surplus material permit. Planner Flynn asked the Planning Director if he had heard anything regarding the Canoe River Campground. Planning Director said a letter ofsupport was sent to them, but he hasn't heard anything. 11.

The Canoe River drains to Mansfield's North Factory Pond. At this point, she presented a map of the drainage. She said this will effect Cate Springs.

He also suggested he talk to his father and find out all the information from him. Motion: To send a letter to the Foxboro Planning Board asking for information on the 13 lot subdivision, known as Canoe River Estates, and the related drainage that may be directed into Mansfield's wetlands.& drinking water.
