FOR AN~U, AL TOWN MEETING - April 27, 1774 ARTICLE ~'-: · ~_anning Board, by a vote of 3-2, recommends FAV.ORABLE ACTION ,-~-zon. a parcel of land owned by Thomas 4. Flatleyt from lenc~ 4 District to Residence ~ District. The reasons are as Board believes that this area can support this density. wo,,id be more beneficial to the town to extend an existing Board feels this would be an amenable use of the land for ~rea. would not vary greatly from the Master Plan which ~c,.m~ended an office and research use. This area has .~:.~lly lost its single residence character. ARTICLE o ,-~ S?RICKEN - no public hearing was held on this petition by the Planning Board, ARTICLE _i3: Board unanimously recommends FAVORABLE ACTION. m,eadment will allow public recreation areas in the 1, 2 and 3 Districts. ~RTICLE L~: ?!~.~ i ;,,:mL'tg Board unanimously recommends FAVORABLE ACTION. ~;~±,,. amer,~ment will ~11ow public recreation areas in the ?<es~t~nt~al ~ District. ?h~ ?~,anmtng Board unanimously recommends FAVORABLE ACTION. Thi~ ~., caange in wording to allow the proposed town garage o~ town-~,wned land. The allowed uses will still require a ~,e;ia'. r,~r,~it by the Zoning Board of Appeals. P _IJtNNIND BOARD RFXIO~DA'I'IONS -2- April 1974 .A~,Ti~CLE 16: mT CL I7: The Planning Board unanimously recommends FAVORA~.~_ ACTION. This amendment is to clarify this particular section. There have been various interpretations of the word "limited" and the Planning Board feels the word "accessory" is more appropriate. The Planning Board unanimously recommends FAVORA~.E ACTI. ON. The same as for Article 16 - it applies to another section. ARTICLE 18: The Planning Boardunanimouslyrecemmends F~VORA~2 ACTION. This particular section is already in the ZoningBy-Law and by adding it tc Table 2, all of the dimensional requirements will then be in one section for easier reference. ~TICLg l?: The Planning Board unanimously recommends FAVORABLE ACTION. This phrase was in the previous Zoning By-Law. This will mean that roof overhangs and steps are not included in the minimum setback requirements. A~TICLE 20: The Planning Board unanimously recommends FAVORABLE ACTION. This section is identical to one in the previous Zoning By-Law; therefore, the effective date should be that of the old By-Law rather than the new one adopted in 1972. ARTICLE 21: The Planning Board unanimously recommends FAVORARLE ACTION. The same as for Article 20. A~..TICL.~ 22: The Planning Board unanimouslyrecommends FAVORABLE ACT~ON. A Certificate of Occupancy is ~ow required by the Building Code. A Certificate of Occupancy should also require compliance with the Zoning By-Law and in order to do this, it is necessary to add this section to the Zoning By-Law. ARTICLE 2~: The Planning Boardunanimously recommends F~VORABLE ACTION. The Pl~mntng Board feels that there should be a by-law to control the shape of Iota and this proposed amendment would alleviate the formation of odd-shaped lots, to some extent. PLANNINC, BOARD REG~ATION$ -3- &pril ~ ~ ARTICLE To be STRICKEN. The Planning Beard voted, 3-2, to withdraw this article. The Board feels that a citizen's ccemttttee should be formed to study this particular section more completely amd then submit a new Earth Removals Sectien at some future town meeting. AD The Planning Board unanimously recommends ~iFA¥OI~,~ ACTION to re-zone this parcel of land from Industrial "S" to Business 3 for the following reasons: (Member Salemme abstet~ed from voting). 1. The Planning Board and Planning Advisory Committee (P.A.C.) spent considerable time in studyi~ this particular area of the town and feels that the present zoning is the best use of the land. 2. The Master Plan recommends t~at this part of the town be industrial. Nothing had been presented at the public hearing by the petitioner that would warrant changing this zone. 3. It would not be in the best interests of the town to re-zone this area for business use.
