Page 2 <br />Minutes for the Meeting of November 5, 2008 <br /> <br />Mr. Hornig reiterated his belief that special permits should be special and that more should be allowed by <br />right with the protection of site plan review. Mr. Zurlo wanted to revisit the financial aspects to determine <br />what baseline FAR would be effective in encouraging more development. Mr. Zurlo asked for the status <br />of all planning topics to be tabulated together in the future to clarify where there was consensus on the <br />Board and what remained open for discussion. <br /> <br />In the discussion of height it was agreed that stories did not need to be regulated. At the same time some <br />Board members felt that buildings above the height defined as “high rise” would not be acceptable, <br />although they felt it was better to go up rather than out. The Board and staff will investigate the <br />appropriateness of using a ratio calculation as a tool to determine height. While site plan review will be <br />the topic of another meeting, it was thought that there might be differentiation between major and minor <br />projects. <br /> <br />On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to recess to the Special Town Meeting at 7:24 p.m. <br />and to adjourn at the end of the session. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Wendy Manz, Clerk <br /> <br />
