AGEDA ITEM# 1: Introductions:
AGENDA ITEM#2: Review of Current By-Law:
Richard Canale explained the current by-law,which provides for some types of Special Permit
alternatives in addition to conventional residential subdivisions. The zoning provides for three different
types of residential Special Permits: Site Sensitive Development, Balanced Housing Development, and
Public Benefit Development. Further, development of three lots or more require a Special Permit. The
full by-law can be found by [following this link.
Public Comments:
Tina McBride (resident of the Turning Mill Neighborhood) states that more units creates more traffic, and
puts pressure on services such as fire,police and the school system.
AGENDA ITEM#3: Review of 2018 ATM Article 42:
Matthew Daggett reviewed the 2018 ATM Article 42 up to slide 22. Taylor Singh would like to go back
and review Matt's feasibility numbers in the slides. Jill reminded the committee that the goal is to
propose an amendment based on experiences and actual numbers,which we will be gathering during the
public outreach and research phases.
AGENDA ITEM#4: Discussion of Committee Charge:
Richard states that they have to create a model that competes with a conventional subdivision so that there
is an incentive to use it.. Jill states that if as work proceeds,we find the charge needs to be amended a
request can be made to the Selectmen to make amendments.
