Seminar, Attorney Richard Hendersonthat 10 were removed from the list immediately and that other properties would be removed because they would not be able to comply with septic regulations. He added that he believed they would end with about 35 lots eligible to petition for special permits from the ZBA; he proposed to send the Planning Board a list of the properties, along with a corrected version of his bylaw. Henderson further stated that he has been in contact with Mr. Ritchie of the AGdeadline, the necessity for a public hearing on the article. Moe Barocas emphasized that this version of the article was a correction rather than a new proposal; it had removed the dates to which the AGmotion because the Board had already spent a huge amount of time on the proposal and faced much important business.
Sprint Pre-application Discussion for Nextel Tower Useof the Site Acquisition Specialist (a Bylaw- required affidavit describing alternative sites considered before Spring decided to try to attach to the Nextel sites) and information gathered by Cavanaugh Tocci Associates containing an Evaluation of Environmental Sound Levels for the proposed project. Chair Odiscussion covered the make-up of the cell tower, other tower users (Nextel, Barnstable County, Telecorps, Bell Atlantic), the visual effect of the tower, a question as to why so many companies need to use the tower, and the necessity for future discussion of whether co-locators need to follow the same pre-app process as initiators. Lisa Brown moved that the balloon test (6.18.2.12.I.) be waived in this pre-application process, Mark Berry seconded, and the motion passed unanimously 6-0. The petitioners proposed, to clarify questions on radiation emission patterns (6.18.2.13.C.) raised by the Chair, to commission and submit a study by a group of M.I.T. scientists (to supplement their submission of the contour maps, the Health Study, and the Mass DPH filing). Atty. Lacy asked which application process the Board wished them to use: 6.18.2.15 or 6.18.2.16; he felt that it should be 15 for a co-locator. The Board concurred. It was
not agreed, however, that this meeting should stand as the complete pre-application discussion, as Atty. Lacy requested. Helen Wilson pointed out the lack of preparation time allowed the Board; Chair OAffordable Accessory Dwelling Unit Bylawall units would require special permitsthe Zoning Board of Appeals would be made the special permitting organization, not the Planning Board.
Helen Wilson suggested that landlords as well as tenants could live in the affordable unit. Modification was also suggested in the square footage for livable floor area; Building Inspector Asmann advanced a suggestion for this based on intensity of use. Wilson stated that people could build to a minimum sizeoff the rear property line. Helen Wilson added that affordable units must be year-round; however, the owner would not have to be. Peterson then proposed to revise the draft proposal, to submit the new draft to the selectmen, and after the BOS votes on the public hearing, to polish up the final version and submit it to Town Counsel. The Board will review it on February 20, its next meeting.
Gerald Parent moved and Helen Wilson seconded adjournment; the meeting adjourned at 10:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
