************************************* REPORTS *************************************
Staff
Mr. Schilt reported that the Traffic Mitigation Group (TMG) had met that morning and agreed to support
the Planning Board with efforts to revise Article XII of the Zoning By-Law as well as to update the
Planning Board’s Transportation Demand Management (TDM) policies and guidelines.
Planning Board
Mr. Galaitsis reported that the Article 40 Committee in its 7/12/06 meeting discussed the list of locations
for anti-idling signs, and began setting goals for the upcoming meetings, which will determine what they
will present to Town Meeting next spring.
Ms Manz reported that she and Mr. Canale and Mr. Zurlo had conducted an “Inclusionary Housing 101”
workshop with members of the Housing Partnership Board. As Mr. Zurlo and Mr. Canale were not in
attendance at the Planning Board meeting this evening, she wanted to wait to discuss how the workshop
went. She noted that some members of the Partnership seem to not support the proposed inclusionary by-
law, which may be an obstacle for taking the by-law forward to Town Meeting.

PUBLIC HEARING POSTPONED: 169 North Street Definitive Subdivision Plan: Mr. Galaitsis noted
that he has a personal working relationship with Mr. Gallinelli, and that he would recuse himself. He left
the meeting.
Present for this item were Mr. Aldo Gallinelli, applicant, and Mr. William Tirrell, civil engineer.
Given that only Ms. Manz and Mr. Hornig were in attendance, Ms. Manz stated that the Board did not
have the required quorum to conduct the hearing and asked Mr. Gallinelli if the hearing could be
postponed. It was jointly agreed by Mr. Gallinelli and the Board to postpone the public hearing until
August 2, 2006 at 7:45 p.m. There were no members of the public in the audience.
