SELECTMEN'S MEETING October 4, 1953 A regular meeting of the Board of Selectmen was held on Monday, October 4, 1993, in the Selectmen's Meeting Room, Town Office Building, at 7:30 p.m. Chairman Dailey, Mr. McSweeney, Mr. Busa, Mr. Fenn, Mrs. Eddison; Mr. Cohen, Town Counsel, Mrs. Novak, Assistant Town Manager; and Mrs. Peters, Executive Clerk, were present. NgTIFI PRC3C S F SAC IdEARINGS The Board discussed Mr. Fenn's proposal that a policy be established where interested parties are notified in time to ensure early abutter participation in TSAC discussions of traffic con- cerns, in order to avoid some of the problems that arose during the Harrington Road hearing process. Mr. Dailey commented that there should be some way to notify concerned citizens early in the process, without overburdening the staff who must research and prepare abutters' notices, when some traffic concerns do not require extensive notification of abutters. He invited Mr. Chalpin to outline the procedure now being proposed by the Town. Mr. Chalpin spoke of traffic concerns that could be described as "high impact" and those that could be described as "low impact ", and outlined the Committee's proposal for notifying abutters in both scenarios. In response to a question from Mr. Fenn about getting neighbors involved early in the process, he described the way the Wilson /Roosevelt Roads neighborhood group worked together to solve a traffic problem, and were instrumental in working out a solution acceptable to practically the whole neighborhood. Mr. Chalpin also explained that all concerns except those originating in the Town Manager's office come to the Board before being referred to the TSAC. The Board agreed to continue the present process, as modi- fied, that was outlined in the September 13, 1953 minutes.
