Planning Board Minutes: February 4, 1985 2 34. Article 11, Planned Residential Development: Eleanor Klauminzer and David Kravetz of the Housing Needs Advisory Committee were present for the discussion. The Board continued its review of this article, working on the revision dated 1/31/85. In 9.2.10, it was agreed that for an RD district, rather than have the SPGA grant a series of exceptions to dimensional requirements, it would be better to have no requirement stated in Table 2 and the proposal evaluated on its merits by the Town Meeting. In 9.2.11, it was agreed to delete "four rooming units" as it can be confusing. In 9.3.2, it was agreed to delete the second paragraph which attempted to deal with the number of dwelling units more than 650 feet from a through street or interior drive. In 9.3.7, Usable Open Space, it was agreed to delete the references to use of the space of the roof of a building, balconies, indoor recreational facilities and the credit for land abutting public open space. In the revisions to Table 1, Use Regulations Schedule, it was agreed to delete the reference to dwellings in existence in March, 1985, as they referred primar- ily to the RM district and to rely on Section 6 of the By -Law, which allows non- conforming structures to be rebuilt. It was noted that dwelling units in commercial structures is a subject that needs ' further work, but it was agreed not to attempt it this year and to retain the existing provision which is applicable only in the CB district. In Section 3.6.1a, it was agreed to delete the reference to the use of the Town's photogrammetric maps in a preliminary site development plan. The Board continued its discussion about the criteria in 9.4.8. Mr. Sorensen restated his position that use of such criteria was subjective and an applicant could not predict the outcome of an application when non -numerical criteria are employed. 35.
