REPORTS FROM OTHER BOARDS
Transportation Commission: Mr. Vignaly reported that the Transportation Commission will meet to discuss using Chapter 90 funds to have an assessment done of the intersections between Franklin Street and Routes 140 and 12. Drainage work also has to be completed on Newton Street, Marsh Hawk Way, and Campground Road, also using Chapter 90 funds.
CMRPC: The annual assessment bill from CMRPC for FY14 has been calculated at $1,893.81. Mr. Vignaly queried what the town was getting for its money. Last year, the amount was increased based upon the inmate population. Ms. Paré asked how the Planning Board will use the funds this year. Other boards should consult the Planning Board before using this money.
Town Wide Planning Committee: Ms. Paré stated that the Committee is still waiting for the amendments to the Land Use Chapter of the Amended Master Plan and the Housing Chapter. The Planning Board will have to finish off the Land Use Chapter. Ms. Paré has updated it with 2010 data.
OTHER TOPICS NOT REASONABLY ANTICIPATED BY THE CHAIR 48 HOURS BEFORE THE MEETING
Mr. Femia stated that the ZBA asked him to come to the Planning Board to discuss what type of smaller sign would be allowed under the Zoning Bylaws for Clinton Savings Bank. Ms. Paré stated that they should request a 30’ sign. A sign package was supposed to have been submitted to the Planning Board by the Bank, as well as an amended as-built plan and a new Engineer’s certificate.
Sprint representatives will be attending the next meeting to discuss the installation of a dish antenna at the 100’ level on the tower, as opposed to the 88’ level. There is some question whether Sprint (or a previous operator) received a Variance from the ZBA to allow installations on the tower to exceed 100’.

Neither invoices nor Minutes were submitted for review.
At 9:25 p.m., upon motion of Mr. Olson and second of Mr. Vignaly, it was unanimously voted to adjourn.
