Returning to the conversation to the Leary property, Mr. Burnell raised concerns about the concentration of people that 6 to 8 units would represent and the potential impact on the neighborhood that this would have, aside from the cars which have also been raised by abutters. Mr. Bob Pressman, a resident, refuted the point, stating that there appeared to be no conflict in other parts of town were denser developments abutted single- family homes, citing Captain Parker and Emerson Gardens as examples. The discussion ended with the group asking staff to explore a cost estimate for a traffic study. The group also thought the RFI should be revised to reflect the maximum number of units as "up to 6" rather than "up to 8" as originally approved. Discussion of CPA Article Staff very briefly reminded the group of the upcoming Town Meeting article for a $30,000 appropriation to fund predevelopment activities, and would forward the questions from the TMMA Executive Committee to all members for their review. Adjournment The meeting adjourned at 10 AM, leaving its next meeting date to be determined after Town Meeting's vote.
