Page 6 <br />Minutes for the Meeting of January 30, 2008 <br />fairness to the applicants, this would allow a full Board to hear special permit issues. Town Meeting <br />accepted the provision of the Mullins Rule for a Planning Board Member to act on applications if missing <br />one meeting after review of the transcript for that meeting. This was used once this year. The Planning <br />Board Associate Member would only be used for sitting on special permits. <br /> <br />Audience Questions and Comments: <br /> <br />Mr. David Kaufman, 152 Burlington Street, said he approves of the general intent. What would be done if <br />the chair of the Planning Board had to recuse himself/herself? Mr. Hornig said then the vice chair takes <br />over. <br /> <br />Mr. Frank Sandy, 353 N. Emerson Road, said if the Planning Board doesn’t appoint an associate at the <br />first meeting does it stay vacant until the end of the year? <br /> <br />Mr. Nyles Barnet, precinct 4, asked since the Planning Board Members are elected why not the same for <br />the associate? Mr. Hornig said then you would have to change the charter to make it by election. <br /> <br />Mr. Steven Heinrich, 11 Potters Pond, asked how would it work? Is the Associate Member to sit for all <br />the special permits? Mr. Hornig said they would be asked to sit on all the special permits hearings and <br />vote only if needed and had to attend all the sessions. The primary motivation for this appointment is <br />because of possible recusals by the Planning Board Members. <br /> <br />Mr. Canale said the current way of filling the vacancies is through a vote by the Planning Board and <br />Board of Selectmen. <br /> <br />Mr. Hornig closed the public hearing at 9:40 p.m. <br /> <br />************************************** MINUTES ************************************* <br />Review of Minutes: Ms. Manz made an attempt to consolidate the minutes of January 16, 2008. The <br />Board deferred discussion of the January 16, 2008, minutes until the next meeting to allow the Board <br />Members a chance to review the updates. On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted, 4-0, to <br />defer the discussion of the minutes. <br /> <br />********************PLANNING BOARD ORGANIZATION SCHEDULE******************* <br /> <br />
