Selectmen Edie Morgan was present. Mark noted the purpose of the overlay is to reformat regular zoning. Edie asked about adjusting the boundaries of the business district and suggests the bylaw be forwarded to Phil Mighdoll.
Post Office Place
Tom reported that the board of selectmen agreed to place on a warrant the proposal by CMRPC for Post Office Place. Draft language will need to be finalized at a February meeting.
Review Zoning Maps
The board reviewed the maps as completed by CMRPC with proposed changes for Worcester Road, Hubbardston Road, and Redemption Rock Trail. Rick recommends changing any business district built out as residential to residential only. There was discussion on changing the proposed boundary of the Village District to begin sooner. Any boundary change will need to be written as a bylaw change. Rick will work on a draft.
Other Business
Bill Brady of Sonoma asked the board if a Site Plan Review is required for a portable walk in cooler. John Wilson wanted to ensure the board had the opportunity to decide. The cooler is 10’ x 14’ and does not have a foundation. It will be located behind the building. Jim reviewed the bylaw and after discussion the board determined a Site Plan Review is not necessary.
Mark moved to advise John Wilson the board does not see a need for a review on this change. Rick seconded. All in favor (5-0).
