Minutes for the Meeting of September 24, 2008 Page 3 *********************************** MINUTES**************************************** Reconsideration of Minutes: Mr. Galaitsis made a motion for reconsideration of the 8/27/08 minutes. On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted, 3-1-1 (Mr. Hornig opposed and Mr. Canale abstained), to reconsider the minutes of August 27, 2008. There was discussion of what was an appropriate level of detail in the minutes. Ms. McCall-Taylor said if the Board wanted verbatim minutes they would have to hire a transcription service, for which there is no budget. There was general consensus that brevity in the meeting minutes is preferred as long as the scope of the work of the Board was conveyed. On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted, 4-1 (Mr. Hornig opposed), to approve the amended minutes of August 27, 2008, with Mr. Galaitsis’s changes. ******************************* BOARD MEMBER REPORTS**************************** Mr. Canale said the Transportation Mitigation Group met and recommended the Board of Selectmen continue the bike lane on Hartwell Avenue. A meeting with the Beal Company was set for mid-October. Mr. Hornig said the Conservation Commission met. Items on the agenda included a negative request for determination of applicability on 77 North Street, delineation of wetlands at 93 Hancock Street, and mitigations with the Beal Company. Ms. Manz attended the 128 group session. Burlington and Cambridge both gave presentations and have opposite approaches. Cambridge had very specific regulations set up front. Burlington has had luck with no regulations set in stone because a stable staff and Planning Board has resulted in developers understanding what is expected of them and it works. ***************************SUBDIVISION ADMINISTRATION*************************** PUBLIC HEARING 341 Marrett Road, Definitive Balanced Housing Development (BHD): Mr. Hornig opened the continued public hearing from August 27 at 9:15 p.m. In attendance were Rick Waitt, John Gwozdz and Brian Timm of Meridian Associates, Ron Lopez, applicant, and Dan Harrington, attorney.
