************************ ARTICLES FOR 2008 TOWN MEETING**************************
At the town meeting, the Planning Board reconvened. On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted,
4-0 (Mr. Canale recused), to support Article 49.
At Town Meeting, Mr. Thomas O. Fenn proposed an amendment to Article 49, which was deemed out of
scope, and was then offered as a resolution. The resolution was as follows; “The Planning Board should
consider modifying its notice policy by requiring the proponent of a special permit residential
development to notify all abutting neighbors within a 300 foot area of the proposed site at the time of a
sketch plan submission to the Planning Board.” The Planning Board decided not to take a position, but
would take it under consideration.
On a motion duly made and seconded, it was voted to adjourn the meeting at 9:50 p.m.
Wendy Manz, Clerk
