Matters Not Reasonably Anticipated by the Chair
None
Discussion
Board discussion regarding updating Rules & Regulations: Chair Dewey spoke to Jim Kupfer, Assistant Director of Planning &
Development, who suggested the Chairman and Paul Pinard meet with Kate Connolly from the Legal Department to discuss the
Board’s proposed Rules & Regulations, which the Board outlined at the June 14, 2023 meeting. Legal has still not weighed in. Mr.
Kupfer also said the Board has the authority to say they want abutters to be renoticed when something has been continued.
Paul Pinard says they all agreed upon their proposal already. He suggests giving a 30-day deadline to the Legal Department—if they
don’t respond in the timeframe, the Board should move forward. The Board and Anna Brigham discuss whether the proposal needs
review and what next steps should be. Paul Pinard believes MGL gives authority to the Board to change their Rules & Regulations but
he cannot cite exactly where. There are concerns that Legal should verify that this draft would hold up in court. Chair Dewey makes
a motion that in 30 days the updates to the Rules & Regulations will take effect to any applications received after February 10, 2024
if the Board doesn’t hear otherwise from Legal. Herb Bodensiek seconds.
Vote:
Aye: Jake Dewey, Herb Bodensiek, Paul Pinard, Mark Hansen, Aaron Webb, Denise Johnson, Larry Hurwitz, Manny Alves
Nay: None
Manny Alves suggests requiring renoticing abutters and new public notice on heavily continued items. Denise Johnson asks if the
group is in favor of starting at 6 p.m. instead of 7. The other members are in favor of leaving it at 7 unless there’s public outcry or
advice from Town Council.
