Minutes for the Meeting of October 22, 2008 Page 5 it would be unfair to postpone traffic problem solutions until after an approval of a proposed development. And, asked why it was not the Planning Board’s job. Mr. Hornig said it was up to the Board of Selectmen to determine turning restrictions from one public road to another. ?? Route 2 and Concord Avenue were forgotten sections that were widened and now vehicles use it as a passing lane creating a wait time of 10-15 minutes to exit a driveway. The Town would need to prepare the area before adding new development. ?? Create traffic mitigation measures before going to Town Meeting. If that was not possible postpone this until Spring Town Meeting. Create the capacity first. ?? If the building becomes visible to residents, then cheap construction material should not be used and any development should fit the character of the neighborhood. ?? An abutter wondered whether, if he expanded his third floor, he would overlook a commercial property and not the wooded conservation land Mr. Canale asked about the 15 items that the Planning Board discussed and that the letter only addressed three of them. Mr. Nichols said they would work with staff on the other items not addressed. On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted, 5-0, to continue the public hearing to October 29, 2008, at 7:30 p.m. in Cary Auditorium. ***************************SUBDIVISION ADMINISTRATION*************************** Grandview Avenue, Release of Lots: Mr. David Burns, the applicant has completed the Grandview Avenue roadwork.
