Planner White told the Board he felt they should look into the Downtown Business zoning requirements. 6) The Board met with Margot Jellinek about the Form A plans. She noted that Clerk Kaufman noted that the Board is only looking to review the eight points that have to be on the plan. She asked that the members read their By-law. Clerk Kaufman told Mrs. Jellinek about the case that came down from the Appeals Court two months ago which changed the Form A law and says that the signing of the plan by the Board is a formality required by Minutes December 3, 1980 Page 3 law so that the plan can be recorded in the Registry of Deeds. Mrs. Jellinek noted that he only heard one judges decision. The Planning Board has to look out for the best interest of the Town not the best interest of the developer. 7) The Board discussed the Form A - Approval Not Required plan submitted by Bella Construction Company for land on Erick Road. Planning Director Folkman told the Board there is no building on the lot and the Zoning Board of Appeals decision has been put on the plan, and the wet area has been put on the plan.

Planning Director Folkman told the Board that there is frontage on a public way on one lot, but lot #456 does not have enough frontage. He felt that it is not a building lot, but just a transfer of land and he recommended that the Board endorse it. Motion: To endorse the Form A - Approval Not Required plan for land on Fruit Street submitted by Theresa Pedro with the stamp "Approval of this plan does not imply the approval of any future roadway for any future subdivision." (Parsons - White, all in favor) VOTED 9) Planning Director Folkman told the Board he has talked to the developers of Beachwood Estates. They will not pave this year,because it is too late in the season. 10) Planning Director Folkman told the Board he has talked to the Building Inspector about the Morse Gravel Pit on Elm Street, but hasn't been able to meet with Town Counsel yet. He will meet with Town Counsel and report back to the Board at their next meeting. Clerk Kaufman noted that if the Board didn't allow him to withdraw his application and didn't do anything about the application it would be automatic approval. It was decided to wait for Town Counsel's opinion and to invite him to attend the next meeting of the Board. 11) Planning Director Folkman reviewed the revised proposed fee schedule. He said he decided to leave the cost of the Zoning By-law and Subdivision Regulations at $2.00/copy as that will cover the cost of the paper and stencils. On the earth removal fee it was noted that Foxboro charges .07 a yard for gravel removed. It was decided to out .10 a ,yard for gravel removal as Foxboro's charge has been in effect for several years. Minutes December 3, 1980 Page 4 Motion: To put .10 per yard in the fee schedule for earth removal. (Parsons - Genatossio; Parsons, Genatossio, Flynn, Kaufman in favor; White opposed) TOTED It was noted that the Town would get $7,000 in income from the E R E Corp. operation. On the fee for development in business zones it was decided to keep the fee at $250.00 On the subdivision preliminary fee the $100.00 will be applied as a credit on the definitive fee. It was decided to change the inspection fee to a lineal footage charge. The reinspection fee would be $100. It was noted that a cul-de-sac would require additional work. Planning Director Folkman told the Board it takes about 50 hours of his time to inspect subdivision roads. On the advertising fees it was decided to check with Town Counsel on billing the applicants direct for zoning amendments. Planning Director Folkman noted that the next step on the fee schedule will be a public hearing. 12) Planning Director Folkman reviewed the outline of the Comprehensive Planning Program and water resources element. He told the Board he might be able to get something ready on the water resources element for the Town Meeting, but he wasn't sure. 13) The Board review the Work Program for 1981 to see if there were any items that they wanted to have ready for the annual town meeting. It was decided to work on clarifying the wording in the parking regulations. The stockpiling of gravel was discussed. Planner Parsons didn't feel it was a problem. Chairman Flynn noted that it could be considered a nuisance. Cluster development was discussed. It was noted that the problem when it was presented to the Town Meeting before was the problem of what to do with the open spaces and who would be responsible for the land. Planning Director Folkman told the Board he would like to get a copy of the Plymouth Zoning By-law on their cluster zoning and PUD zoning. It was noted that the fee for zoning violations should be raised to $100 per day. 14) The date for the next meeting was set for December 10, 1980 at 7:30 P.M. 15) Under public discussion Margot Jellinek presented the Board with a 'list of 2.3 gravel pits in Town that haven't been restored.
