Lowell Street Site Peter Kelley was present and protested that the Board was not acting that evening on its decision on the sketch plan he had submitted. The Board responded that this item had been scheduled for the August 17 meeting. Later in the evening, during the discussion of the draft of the Subdivision Rules and Regulations, Mrs. Davison urged that a letter be sent from the Planning Board to the Design Advisory Committee requesting their involvement in the review of the multi-family housing proposal for the Lowell Street site. After a discussion, on the motion by Mr. Domnitz, seconded by Mr. Grant, it was voted to defer that matter to the August 17 meeting. Mr. Domnitz asked that the staff research how the proposed multi-family housing development could qualify to count toward the Town's Chapter 40B requirements for low-and moderate income housing. ***************** ADMINISTRATION OF LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ************ SUBDIVISION OF LAND 115.
