MINUTES
SPECIAL EMERGENCY MEETING
April 5, 1977
Present: Clerk Tighe
Planners: Lesuer, Plourde, Mahana
Planning Director Maurer
1) Planning Director Maurer advised the Board with respect to the
rezoning at the intersection of Ware and Short Streets that
their recommendation of March 30, 1977 was partially based on
the fact that it was consistent with the Comprehensive Planning
Program. He advised the Board that prior to writing the 'final
recommendation for the presentation at Town Meeting that he
reviewed the Planning Program and that the Planning Program had
recommended that that area remain as Industrial to serve as a
buffer for the expansion of the airport. Under the Planning
Program the airport would have also been zoned for industrial
purposes.
Motion: To recommend that the Planning Board reverse their
recommendation of March 30, 1977 and recommend that
the rezoning at the intersection of Short and Ware
Streets not be voted favorably for the following
reasons:
1) The proposed land to be rezoned is in an area
that is presently being developed for residential
purposes.
2) A portion of the proposed area to be rezoned is
within area proposed for the expansion of the
North/South Runway of the Mansfield Municipal
Airport. The North/South'runfway will be relocated
after Route 495 is constructed.
3) The Airport Commission has sponsored an article at a
previous Town Meeting for the parcel in question and
the Airport land as an Industrial Airport Zone, which
was not acted on favorably at Town Meeting.
4) The rezoning of this land will conflict with the expansion
plans of the Mansfield Municipal Airport.
(Plourde-Mahana, all in favor) VOTED
2) The Board was presented with an amendment to the Town Meeting Article
concerning piggeries. The proposed amendment included only the
elimination of piggeries within the Agricultural Zone.
Motion: To recommend in favor of the amended article for piggeries.
