MINUTES OF THE PLANNING BOARD MEETING
JUNE 21, 2010
MEMBERS PRESENT: Chairman Vincent Vignaly, Patricia Halpin, Patrick McKeon, Lawrence Salate
MEMBERS ABSENT: Karen Paré
OTHERS PRESENT: Patrick Inderwish
The Chair opened the meeting at 7:05 p.m.
DISCUSSION OF TRANSIENT VENDOR
Mr. Patrick Inderwish, Chair of the Parks and Recreation Committee, attended the meeting in order to get the Planning Board’s input on the question of allowing a transient vendor to sell his products on town-owned park land. The Planning Board did not have an issue with this.
ANR: 304 LANCASTER STREET: CRESCENT BUILDERS
Mr. Vignaly asked to be recused from the discussion and vote because his employer, the DCR, has an interest in this property. Vice Chair, Mr. McKeon, led the discussion.
The ANR plan seeks to divide into two lots, the 22 acres currently owned by Ms. Wendy Smith at 304 Lancaster Street. Although the Plan meets the requirements for frontage and access, the Form A is incomplete (name and address of owner, zoning classification, parcel number, etc.) as is the Plan itself (no signature block, nor is there a locus). Upon motion of Ms. Halpin and second of Mr. Salate, it was voted, three ayes, to return the Plan and Form A to the applicant and ask that they be properly completed.
MOVE TO GO INTO EXECUTIVE SESSION
Mr. Vignaly stated that the ensuing discussion, in an open meeting, of proposed litigation involving an Appeal of a ZBA decision may have a detrimental effect on the litigating position of this body.

June 21, 2010
Mr. Salate therefore made a motion to go into Executive Session for the purpose of discussing strategy with respect to litigation, and to reconvene in open session.
ROLL CALL VOTE:
Mr. McKeon: Aye
Mr. Salate: Aye
Ms. Halpin: Aye
Mr. Vignaly: Aye
At 8:24 p.m., following a roll call vote, the meeting returned to regular session.
GOODNOW: PROPOSED USED CAR LOT
Ms. Halpin noted that Mr. Chris Goodnow would be at the next meeting of the Planning Board and queried which aspect of his plans would be of most concern to the Planning Board. Mr. Vignaly stated that drainage and traffic circulation would be important issues. The Building Inspector stated that Site Plan Review is necessary and the Planning Board agrees. Mr. Goodnow, however, can hasten the process and make it less cumbersome by asking for several waivers to Section 3.6 of the Zoning Bylaws.
At 8:40 p.m., upon motion of Mr. McKeon and second of Mr. Salate, it was unanimously voted to adjourn.
