Mr. Galaitsis was absent. *************************TOWN MEETING WARRANT********************************* Article 41, Center Zoning: The motion that will be before Town Meeting will only deal with projecting signs in the Center Business District. On a motion duly made and seconded, the Board voted to reopen their vote on this matter and then, on a motion duly made and seconded, the Board voted, 4-0, to support Article 41 allowing blade signs as of right in the Center Business District. The members reviewed the Town Meeting recommendations and motions. They also looked at the non- zoning articles that had not been reviewed previously. There were no additional articles that the Board wanted to take a stand on at this time. It was agreed that they would revote their recommendation on Article 32, the citizen article on establishing a Climate Change Committee, on the floor of Town Meeting when they had a chance to see the final motion. The Board had previously voted 2-1 in favor, with Mr. Canale and Mr. Zurlo in the affirmative and Ms. Manz in the negative.

Mr. Zurlo said he had attended the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) hearing on the Definitive Site Development and Use Plan for Lexington Technology Park and the special permit with site plan review for the 200 Building. He outlined to the ZBA the matters that the Planning Board had called out in their report on the rezoning to Town Meeting. It was not clear that the Noise Committee had reached a resolution on the baseline issue. Board members were asked to review the application for further discussion at Wednesday’s meeting. At 7:00 p.m., on a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to recess to the Town Meeting and adjourn when the session of Town Meeting adjourned. Charles Hornig, Acting Clerk
