In§ 135-10.0,amend definitions as follows: <br /> DWELLING UNIT <br /> One or more rooms designed,occupied,or intended for occupancy as separate living <br /> quarters,with cooking,sleeping and sanitary facilities provided within the dwelling <br /> unit for the exclusive use of a single faffiily household. <br /> FAA4!LV HOUSEHOLD <br /> One or more individuals living together as a single housekeeping unit and occupying <br /> one dwelling or rooming unit. <br /> ROOMER <br /> ,A <br /> household occupying a rooming unit,for living and sleeping but not for cooking and <br /> eating purposes,and-paying rent,which may include an allowance for meals,by <br /> prearrangement on a long-term basis. <br /> 8:59 p.m. Charles Hornig,Chair,Planning Board,presented the video for Article 13 and reported <br /> the unanimous support of the Board. <br /> 9:01 p.m. Jill Hai,Select Board Chair,reported the support of five members of the Board for <br /> sections 1 and 4,3 members who were opposed to 2&3,with two members supporting <br /> those sections. The three members of the Board who did not support sections 2&3 <br /> found that those changes went beyond recognized diversity and equity and appear to <br /> weaken Special Permit review by the SPCA or the review standards for site plan review. <br /> 9:02 p.m. Jeanne Krieger,ZBA member stated that the Zoning Board had reviewed paragraph 2, <br /> and had voted unanimously that the changes not be adopted. While they agreed with the <br /> goals, Section 9.4.2 does not give the ZBA sufficient guidance to make rationally based <br /> Special Permit decisions,and that some of the language was vague. She further stated <br /> that it seemed to ask the Board to consider subject outside of the Board's Zoning <br />
