Ginna Johnson joined the meeting at 6:12p.m. There was confusion on Article 42 and 43 were both posted to April 25. Mr. Michelson from the Center Committee was in the audience and said the Center Committee wanted to keep Article 43 on April 25. Board Members were concerned about being there was too much on the Town Meeting schedule for April 25. Board Members wanted a consensus on keeping this date of April 25 for Article 43. On March 10, the Center Committee voted 7-1 to approve the article as presented. Area and frontage language and parking, which was ruled out of scope was modified and the following language was added “except for good cause.” Mr. Michelson called a special meeting of the Center Committee for tomorrow night and think March 30 is too soon to place this Article before Town Meeting. Another date in April other than th the 25 could be acceptable and discussed tomorrow evening. If the Center Committee, Planning Board, and Board of Selectmen are close in agreement, sooner could be a consideration. If there is a concrete proposal from the Center Committee then a decision could be made whether to go March 30 or April 25. Staff will connect with Mr. Michelson tomorrow and then discuss the matter on Wednesday with Board members at the meeting. Mr. Hornig will attend the Center Committee meeting since Ms. Johnson cannot attend. Staff will check to see if the moderator has another night for this instead of April 25.
