Facilities By-law. Other members
present were Larry Cuddire, Kendra Osgood-Pike, Iora Alexander, and Jerry
Klima. Jerry stated the discrepancy
was caused due to the old numbering system.
Jerry also
discussed correction of amendment of the Inclusionary Zoning By-law. Change as follows §300-79. Affordable housing construction or housing
contribution payments in lieu of fractional affordable housing units. Also, Town Counsel has no problem with any of
these changes. To avoid future problems,
or misapplication of the regulations, the changes will make it clear that a
developer, provide units or make a monetary contribution to the Town in lieu of
units, but the choice is up to the Planning Board, not the developer.
At the
upcoming Town Meeting on May 14, Jerry will make a motion to amend the articles
and inform the town moderator of the amended changes.
LC motions we recommend
acceptance of all changes to the amendments for the Wireless Communication
Facilities By-law and the Inclusionary Housing Requirements.

conditions of the document. RS recommends that the following
statement be added to (#33 on page 10 of

buildings, (1 of 8) to the extent practical.
(Waivers: page 3 of 11)
Applicant requested a waiver of the timing of
payment for professional review fees.
Presently, the Town is holding in escrow $17,400. Applicant has requested that the Planning
Board approve the return of $10,000 to applicant. Once the preconstruction and site inspections
are to begin, the amount would be reviewed for adequacy and the town could
require an additional $5000. The Planning Board granted $10.000 of the
review escrow money to be returned to the applicant for the time being.
C. Reilly, comments on his concern, of the
affordable component. He would like the board to consider language
in the decision for every 10% of building, one should be affordable (#38
on page 11 of 11).
