Unless something we haven't heard before from the public comes up during the meeting 6) November 29 (the Wednesday before Dec. 1) is the deadline for redrawing the NCD Area (per the enabling bylaw, the follow-up joint meeting to incorporate changes in the NCD Area based on the opt -outs received is 30 days.) The opt -out deadline will be the November 22, the Wednesday before Thanksgiving B) Proposed Language for Enabling Bylaw regarding overlapping of HC and NCD a. The purpose to avoid homeowners subject to both HC and NCD review as we transition from HC to NCD Commission jurisdiction. i. It was preferred that we use the Process Chart and an effective date instead of writing this one- time only set of rules into the enabling bylaw ii. We will explain this to Town Counsel and ask him how to deal with the transition. C) Turning Mill NCD Bylaw interaction with the Tree Bylaw: There was consensus that the NCD bylaw as proposed and the Tree bylaw would co -exist. The NCD Commission would approve a landscaping plan, which would cover the entire lot. As a separate process, the property owner would work with the Tree Warden to determine the setback trees, the removal, replanting and resulting fees (if any). Diane and Bob are meeting with the Tree Committee on August 10 and will talk this proposal with them and get feedback. D) Chapter 19 (Demolition Delay Bylaw): If the NCD is approved, the NCD properties will be exempt from the Demolition Delay bylaw which is administered by the Historic Commission. The Planning Board is proposing a change to Chapter 19 for adoption at Fall Town Meeting. The public hearing for this proposed change will be held in mid-September. E) Conservation Commission: What if the NCD Commission approves a plan but Conservation Commission input is required because of the proximity to wetlands? This issue will be added to the log and Diane will do some research on the wetlands documented on the GIS system in the neighborhood today. F) Map: Diane will contact David Kucharsky regarding the PDF of the Proposed NCD Area for TM. G) Chapter 1— 6: Non -criminal Disposition: If there are any fines, they will be issued by the Building Commissioner and not by the NCD Commission so changes to this bylaw are not necessary.
