Page 2 <br />Minutes for the Meeting of April 30, 2008 <br />whether opportunities would be lost. Board members agreed they did not want to plan parcel by parcel, <br />but wanted to put forth a comprehensive plan with a vision for the area. Ms. Manz felt the message was <br />key and that Town Meeting had indicated a willingness to expand development potential and would <br />probably do so at next year’s Town Meeting. Mr. Smith said the only message property owners got was <br />that the articles had failed. <br /> <br />Mr. Mehr interjected that he would like to amend a commercial zoning article to require that power lines <br />to new developments be placed underground. He said that there will be 110’ of new wires across Waltham <br />Street to supply the bank being built. Mr. Hornig noted that this would be out of scope and that new <br />development is required to place lines on the site underground. He did not feel that zoning could require <br />undergrounding outside of the site. <br /> <br />Members were asked if they wanted to take a position on the reconsideration of Article 53 now, or during <br />Town Meeting. Mr. Zurlo said he would prefer to hear the discussion at Town Meeting first. <br /> <br />Mr. Hornig distributed a list of Hartwell Avenue zoning topics for the members to review for discussion <br />at Wednesday’s meeting. There was also a draft map outlining parcels that may be considered for <br />rezoning. Mr. Mehr asked the Board to keep in mind the potential for siting gas turbines in the area. <br /> <br />********************************** BOARD REPORTS********************************** <br />Mr. Canale distributed an invitation to the May 28 MetroFuture Strategy Meeting. <br /> <br />The Board recessed at 7:25 p.m. to reconvene at the town meeting in Cary Auditorium. <br /> <br />On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to adjourn the meeting at 9:35 p.m. <br /> <br /> Wendy Manz, Clerk <br /> <br />
