Minutes for the Meeting of November 6, 1989 2 c. East Emerson Road: Ms. Nordby reported there has been a problem with driveway berms at two locations on the road, that need to be corrected.

Lane: Mr. Bowyer reported that he and Ms. Nordby had met with a representative of A. J. Lane Co. , to discuss his proposal for a comprehensive permit adjacent to Woodpark Circle. Mr. Bowyer noted that the plan presented bore little relation to the topography and contours of the site.

Article to Authorize an Associate Member for the Planning Board: The Board discussed whether to propose an article enabling the Town to adopt the provisions of Chapter 239 of the Acts of 1989, that amended Chapter 40A, Section 9, MGL to authorize the position of an associate member to the Planning Board when the Planning Board acts as a Special Permit Granting Authority. The law was approved on July 12, 1989 and will take effect on October 10, 1989. The Board discussed whether there was a need for an associate member, and agreed it would be difficult to find a person with enough experience unless, it was a previous member.

They agreed the Planning Board should be designated as the appointing body for the associate member. ************ ADMINISTRATION OF LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS *************** PLANS NOT REQUIRING APPROVAL UNDER THE SUBDIVISION CONTROL LAW 265.
