Mrs. Uhrig abstained from participating in the discussion and from the vote
taken as the firm for which she works is general counsel for Spaulding and Slye
Corporation.
After discussion, it was agreed that several revisions should be make. The
traffic level of service for Hartwell Avenue/Bedford Street intersection should
be "C". The award of a contract for traffic improvements is an acceptable trig-
ger date for removal of peak hour parking restrictions. Wording should be in-
cluded to the effect that the conclusion of hours of operation in the afternoon
are compatible with the restriction on the use of parking spaces in the morning
peak hours and to'avoid the peak afternoon traffic hours. A nese stipulation
signed by Marie Maguire and the Cosgrove family is needed.
It was agreed to vote on the support of the article at this meeting and to defer
a vote on the Planning Board report until members had more opportunity to review`;
it. On the motion of Mrs. Smith, seconded by Mrs. Nichols, it was voted 4-0,
with Mrs. Uhrig abstaining, to recommend that the Town Meeting approve Article
61 and to endorse the "Preliminary Site Development and Use Pian for Land at
Hartwell Avenue near Air Force Base, Article 61, 1982 Annual Town Meeting" dated
May 17, 1982.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:09 p.m.
