Margo Jellinek presented the Water Supply Protection District, Article 35, which was sponsored by the Planning Board. She said that outdoor storage of salt is prohibited under this article. She also presented the Zoning Act of Massachusetts, Chapter 40A and a map on the salt shed. She also presented a booklet entitled Water Quality Management Planning for Urban Run-off. She said that the Town is in violation of Article 35, Water Supply Protection District, because of their salt storage. She pointed out that Planning Board's Minutes December 2, 1981 Page 4 the Zoning By-law has a pnealty for salt storage. This penalty is to charge people a fine if they do not obey the By-law. She asked when the Board would like to start charging the Town this fee. Planner Seifert said that he did not think that Article 35 would effect an e existing use. Margo Jellinek disagreed with this. She said that it would effect an existing use, and it would not come under the grand- father clause. She again asked if the Board was going to charge the fee and when they would like to start. Chairman Kaufman said that he thinks that the Building Inspector would be the enforcer. Planning Director said that the Town no longer uses salt with sodium ferrocynide; the concrete pad where they mix the sand and salt has been expanded so that the run-off will go away from the storage shed; the Board of Health will be doing water testing in catch basins and the river. He said that the long term outlook is to either move the storage shed or stop salt- ing completely. Chairman Kaufman said that he feels it is the opinion of the Planning Board, and the Planning Board agreed, that the storage by the Town is a non -conforming use, and if they are wrong, the person to enforce the fine would be the Building Inspector. If the Building Inspector finds the Town in violation, he will send a written notice of the fine to them. The fine is not levied until the letter has been sent. Motion: To send a letter to the Board of Selectmen regarding the Planning Board's concern of salt storage on the East Street site because it is in the Water Supply Protection District. Also the Planning Board would like to see them work towards a positive solution. (Genatossio - Flynn, all in favor) VOTED Margo Jellinek said that it is the Planning Board's article, and if this is not done now, it will go through the manholes to Canoe River. Motion: To submit the Zoning Act, Chapter 40A, to Town Counsel for his legal opinion. (Brugliera Motion: To take this under advisement (DeGirolamo - Genatossio Opposed - Brugliera, Parsons, Kaufman, and Seifert. 5.

Ken DiNisco presented the proposed Fairfield development. The site is located between East Street, Park Street, and North Main Street. It is proposed to have 40 units.for the elderly, 40 two bedroom town houses, and 34 two bedroom apartments. The railroad right-of- way should be used as parking, and there is 1.2 parking spaces per unit. The elderly project consists of 30,000 square feet. The elderly units are situated around a courtyard.

(Genatossio - Flynn, all in favor) VOTED Planner Brugliera asked when the Board approves or disapproves a plan, does it go in the form of a letter to the Building Inspector? Planning Director said yes. Planner Brugliera said that Bert asked him why Dr. Massand's site plan passed, which it didn't, Planning Director said that he didn't understand why Bert had asked him that because he explained it to him. Planning Director reminded everybody that the C, C, & F diner is next Tuesday at 5:30 P.M.
