Page 6 Minutes for the Meeting of November 12, 2008 Town Meeting. Mr. Canale said that a commitment from Town officials was important to the developers for creditability. Mr. Hornig said the improvements the neighbors want, such as not allowing turns at intersections and traffic calming measures, were not expensive, and the neighbors did not seem to set a high priority on LOS. The measure of development contribution should be proportional and enough to cover mitigations, which might occur over a period of time. *******************************BOARD MEMBER REPORTS**************************** Mr. Canale said the Boston MPO would vote on the 2011 TIP next year. They will wait until January or February to discuss the Waltham Street and Marrett Road intersection. Mr. Zurlo had asked Susan Yanofsky to give an update on the EDAC. She told him that John McWeeney would be doing a report to Town Meeting and that the EDAC was requesting a meeting with the Planning Board. Mr. Hornig said the Conservation Commission continued the hearing for the Beal Company. The owner of 960-990 Waltham Street met with the Conservation Commission; the plan was approved with conditions. The applicant will have to come back to the Planning Board to get approval for the changes made at the Conservation Commission meeting.
