�DR711 <br /> AFTJUL 2 itinciL) <br /> IJ LI. Minutes - Four Town Planning Group <br /> ---- j June 24, 1998 <br /> I 1 <br /> Preset Greg Cravedi (HAFB), Richard Canale (Lexington), Lora Goldenberg (Bedford), Bob <br /> Bowyer (Lexington), Karle Packard (Concord), Marcia Rasmussen (Concord), Richard Walsh <br /> (MPA), Charles Enright (Concord), Tom Ennis (MPA), Mark Racicot (MAPC), Jim White <br /> (Lincoln), Buzz Constable (MMNHP). <br /> The Meeting was called to order at 4.40 by Karle Packard. <br /> Minutes - The Minutes of the June 10 meeting were approved as amended; the Minutes of the <br /> May 27 meeting were also approved. <br /> HATS Meeting -At the previous HATS meeting came certain tasks to revise the 4TPG RFP L. <br /> Goldenberg made changes and distributed to the group for review Noted changes were the <br /> changed Mission Statement to read verbatim from the Mission Statement from the HATS <br /> document. Mark Racicot, MAPC, brought some things that MAPC could do on the RFP It was <br /> suggested that we divide the RFP into two pieces: 1) Compare each town's zoning; and 2) DRI <br /> Process. Clarification: to break out and clarify our RFP, and in the meantime use the DRI <br /> process of Magic and monitor the process. It was noted that this revised RFP mentioned <br /> overlay districts; at this time we are talking about the process and development of overlay <br /> districts, not specific areas. <br /> M. Racicot handed out a draft from MAPC on some tasks they could do, along with a marked <br /> up copy of our RFP with asterisks highlighting what they could help with, a map of the 4TPG <br /> area, some resumes of the people who could work on this project, and a suggested fee for this <br /> service, approx. $30,000 (see attached MAPC document). Some of the project tasks we could <br /> do ourselves; some of the tasks they would have interns do - this would lower the cost. It was <br /> noted that if we decide to go with this outline and have the interns perform these tasks, we <br /> need to act quickly because the interns are only available through August. It was suggested we <br /> could choose to do some and not all of the MAPC proposal; we could have 4TPG members do <br /> some of these tasks. <br /> M. Racicot also presented a build-out analysis they recently completed for the Town of Beverly, <br /> and described to the group the process and development of how they performed this project. <br /> There were several points raised as to what the differences would be between this project and <br /> what the 4TPG is looking for, specifically the threshold numbers for development and <br /> residential build-out, and what information would be available on specific computer files to <br /> create this build-out analysis. It was a good example and gave the 4TPG a good chance to ask <br /> hypothetical questions relative to our own needs. M. Racicot stated their build-out analysis are <br /> between 10-15% accurate. <br /> The 4TPG will revise and present MAPC proposal to HATS at the 6/25 meeting. It was <br /> suggested to ask HATS to have a special meeting in two weeks to review, discuss and approve <br /> the project. <br /> Next Meetina: The next meeting will be Tuesday, July 7, 4:30-6:00 pm at the Brick Building, <br /> Concord. At that time we will do the meeting schedule for the summer months. <br /> Liza Cormier <br />
