The bill would be $9.00 per light per month, if he can get the lights in this year. The weather is against him at this point. If they can't get the light in this year they may try a temporary light. Mr. Michael Avallone of Plantingfield Road told the Board that if there are assurances that he will pick up the bill on July 1, 1981 the residents of Plantingfield Road would go along with it. Mr. Avallone told the Board that there is a meter there that Mr. Ronald Bonvie had put there that could be used for a temporary light on a tree. Planning Director Folkman told the Board that he felt the road should be winterized for snowplowing this year and also wondered about the fire alarm system.

She presented the Board with a copy of the Foxboro earth removal by-law, that was voted in in 1979 and amended in 1980. She told the Board it is not in the Foxboro Zoning By-law, but enforced by the Board of Selectmen, under Chapter 40, Section 21, Paragraph 17 of the Massachusetts General Laws. She pointed out sections of the by-law that stated that no earth in excess of 200 cubic yards be removed from one acre, and no earth shall be removed from any parcel of land within the Town except with a permit from the Board of Selectmen. She suggested that Planning Director Folkman make copies of the By-law for members and for herself. She told the Board that there are 24 old pits in town that have never been brought to grade. She noted that she felt it is important to have earth removal taken out of the Zoning By-law. She stated that the Foxboro By-law is limited to 12 months with a six month extension. Planner Genatossio asked Mrs. Jellinek if she would Minutes December 17, 1980 Page 4 like to have the Selectmen administer the law and Mrs. Jellinek said yes. She stated the Selectmen can require the developer to pay for a civil engineer. The by-law states exactly how much material can be taken out for excess material. She stated she will recommend that this article be put into the Town Meeting as an article. 9) Planning Director Folkman told the Board that he will report on the revised fee schedule at the next meeting and will get something to the Board over the Christmas holidays on parking. He stated he is thinking of taking the entire section out and inserting new standards on earth removal. He will have something for the Board at their next meeting. He stated he has been getting a lot of information from the State and SRPEDD on aquifer zoning and will get a copy of Dartmouth's aquifer zoning regulation. He stated the parking and revised fee schedule will be ready for the Annual Town Meeting, but the aquifer zoning may have to wait. He told the Board that the memorandum from Paul Boyden on parking has some good information in it. There should be a section on handicapped parking and he will outline the various aspects of the parking that he will bring to the Board. He said the parking regulations should be more black and white. 10) The date for the next meeting was set for January 7, 1981, at 7:30 P. M. 11) Under public discussion Margot Jellinek asked the Board to read their Zoning By-law. The industrial section is very loose. The Ryan and Elliot Park still has 30 acres to develop.

She also said that there are three town wells near the Ryan and Elliot Park. 12) The meeting aojzUrvied at 9:30 P. M. Date
