Page 2 Minutes for the Meeting of June 4, 2008 like to happen. The Board needs to know the current situation first to make an accurate evaluation. Mr. Hornig said the Board forced to put the cart a bit before the horse due to the commitment to come before Town Meeting 2009. The landowners’ meeting is Tuesday, June 24 at 8:00 a.m. in the Board of Selectmen’s Meeting Room. There is a small third group of five residential lots on Westview. The Board needs a specific outreach to this group due to special circumstances and a letter should go out to them. Mr. Galaitsis suggested a meeting devoted to an interaction and dialogue between all the parties. Mr. Hornig said there would be a site design workshop in the fall and that interaction can take place then. Cecil Report: The draft report was emailed to the Board and is still being worked on. The report will be finalized soon, as well as the EDTF report. The executive summary doesn’t conflict with the directive. *********************PLANNING BOARD ORGANIZATION SCHEDULE******************* Associate Planning Board Member: There were six letters of interest. Ms. McCall-Taylor suggested the Board review the applicants’ resumes and letters of interest and do a prescreening on June 11, selecting the candidates to interview on June 25 and deciding upon questions to ask. Work Plan: All the major decisions on commercial development need to be completed by the second Monday in November since it needs to be drafted by January. The Board needs all the important decisions made by Fall Town Meeting to test the waters. Mr. Canale said get some feedback when the other Board and committee meetings taking place and see how it fits in. Mr. Henry said the Board could use the Beal Company’s commercial development as a Traffic Demand Management (TDM) prototype for the development regulations and for the 2009 Town Meeting. The first goals for the TDM will be discussed on July 9. Mr. Canale said that MAPC will provide three days of consulting regarding parking. Mr. Hornig asked how active did TMG want to be. They offer a wide variety of perspectives and would be a complimentary role to Planning Board and staff. Ms. Dawn McKenna said she is serious about bringing to the 2009 Town Meeting a proposal to require a contribution to LEXPRESS. Mr. Canale said the Town would develop a toolbox to apply on a consistent basis to LEXPRESS. Mr. Hornig said the transit component would be important.
