 Dean of the Arlington Redevelopment Board, fairly short agenda this evening, first up, is the discussion of the leases at the Central School. Okay. I wanted to try to see if we could wrap up at least two of the three leases. We have, we discussed the Mr. for the Waters Association, who wants a shorter lease term than what was in the model lease. And I sent out with the email last week the terms, the term that they'd like to board to consider. And they don't mind the fact that, they said if the board can live with that, they can live with the fact that they would only have a few months of experience, well, more than a few months of experience. I think it's like nine months of experience with the lease, before they would need to consider with you extending the lease. If that's okay with you, I said that's okay with them. So, that's on the board. So how does this work logistically? So the tenant sends us a notice saying they'd like to stay on past the original two years, and then we have the option to extend it. Right. Exactly. Or we could just present them with the offer to extend it, right? Right. The highlighted language that is on this handout, it doesn't indicate whether the tenant is obligated to take the extension if we offer it to them. I think that's intentional. I think the way this is written, they're not obligated. If they want to be able to get out of it, they feel that it's more of a financial burden than their organization can bear. They don't think that that's likely, but they also know how to be responsible. And since this is the first time, though. Okay, so I guess the language that's highlighted in section 4B says that it requires the landlord and tenant to agree to extend, otherwise the lease terminates. Okay. I guess my question is more from the perspective of staff. I mean, going through a procurement is an effort and everything else. I mean, to some extent, are you okay with the shorter term? And the fact that, you know, in a year's time, you could well be out there doing this all over again for such a small space. I mean, it seems a little, I guess my whole point when I think I was one of the first one to bring it up is, you know, it just seems kind of very short from your perspective as well for having to go back out to procurement. It is very short. And the principle behind the tenancy in that building was to try to get organizations that are, service organizations that help out the town or provide some type of service. We would try to do that, but I would like to, if we have to go back out to procurement, I would like not to be too limited by that. On the other hand, if we were to go to try to get commercial talent, maybe a small business that just needs a short period of time, they're looking for the same type of flexibility that Mr. Krupp and Wattership Association is looking for. Maybe even more flexibility, which would not be in our interest, but would be something I think we should consider in that event. Okay, but you're okay, presumably. It is what it is. I think it's probably the fact of life with these buildings, you know. Okay, all right. That's all I have on that. I think it seems fine. I think it's fine. The understanding that they don't think it will necessarily break them, I think it's fair to give them a safe guard sitting in this position, that they've never been in before, so the rest of the board can live with it. I think that's fine. Okay, if that's the case then, I'll prepare copies for signature if the board wants to act. Sure, so should we be giving the chair of the authority to sign the leases? Yes, that's what we've done in the past. I'll move to approve the chairman signing the leases for Mystic River watershed, and is it 23 maple, that's the other one? Yeah, 23 maple, the terms are a little different because they're proposing some, there's some differences between, so no, short answer is I think you want to keep in motion just to, Mr. River Watershed Association, or I should have said that your option would be, since the seniors association isn't proposing any changes to the policies, you could do both of them in the Central School. Okay, so both of the space in the Central School Mystic River watershed and the senior center association leases with any conforming changes that the chair may deem appropriate at the time. Sorry. All in favor? Aye. And now if I may, I want to inform you of a few of the differences in the 23 Maple Street lease. I think we can work them out, but I just want you to be aware of them and maybe if necessary see if there's a member of the board who wants to work on this offline until we get this in a place where it makes sense. It's kind of just housekeeping stuff, like the old lease, the town will remove ordinary household waste provided it's left with the curb and will remove snow from parking spaces. What really happens is today, I think, and there is an expectation that the tenant will remove snow from their walkways and so on. And they have been putting the waste in the dumpster, but we don't charge them for that. We could just continue to allow them to put it in the dumpster. It's been working. It's not what was in the old lease, the expired lease, but they would like to continue to put it in the dumpster, so we'd have to adjust the lease for that. The model lease has a similar but smaller section called removal of ordinary waste that says the landlord shall cause ordinary waste to be removed from the demise premises. So that is essentially what's happening right now in the dumpster. So another section, the expired lease allows termination by the tenant with four months notice if the tenant loses funding. The model lease, of course, doesn't have anything like that. The old expired lease had that because this is an organization, this tenant depends on grant funding to do its job. They don't foresee anything like that, but they ask if they could have something like that in the lease or if it would be possible to have a clause that allowed them to sublet so that until the lease came to term, if they get into a situation where they just don't have their grant funding, would they be able to have someone else come in and sublet it to the term of the lease? I can run through all of these or you can discuss them as we come up. Well, just on that last point, I think that as long as the town is still subject to the landlord's consent and I would say which can be granted or withheld at the discretion of the landlord because I think that we have an obligation to make sure that we're selecting a tenant that meets the profile of what we're typically looking for for that property. I understand the concern that the tenant has though. If they run out of funding, they're not going to be able to pay rent. Giving them some flexibility but I think also making it subject to the town's approval is important. So I guess something that I guess grant funding is in four month increments. That doesn't really make a lot of sense to me. I mean I would think that it would be yearly grants and the like. Four months just seems kind of strange to me. So I guess I'd like to understand a little bit more about how their funding does happen. I'm used to actually these clauses in governmental entities because if you don't get funding you don't get funding. However, it's a year to year requirement when you do governments and NGOs because they do get their funding for the full year and then maybe I get it for the next year. It's possible that that cycle is four months out of sync with the lease. Okay. Well, no, but if you give them... Okay, so initially you need four months but then you could get on a year. Yeah, as long as the two cycles are sort of in sync. Exactly, exactly. I think that's more the question. I don't think four months would even help them if they are on kind of an end of June. Whatever the end of the fiscal year is, then not only do you think the four months will help them this year, right? Because that wouldn't work. But anyway, so... But I think back to your original point, we sort of have to know a little bit more about their cash flow situation. Because four months just seems kind of short. And I think on the sub-led, I mean if they went away I think we'd be faced with several different decisions. What do we really want in there? Do we want the building? I think there are several different things. So I'm not sure them necessarily sub-ledding is the best option. Or it could be for discussion. I mean as long as it's at our discretion. You're right. Discussion where we could terminate the lease. Or we could terminate the lease. Yeah, we could do that too. But I guess I would be okay somewhat with the out because it is just for funding. But I'd certainly, before I'd consider anything like that, I'd want to understand their funding more. Because four months just... And that's an awfully short period of time. Alright. I think they'd be happy. I'm sure they'd be happy to give us a little bit of detail on their funding and cash flow and how that works. So that the board can take that and decide at a future meeting whether sub-ledding or this four month termination. Or some period notice for termination is acceptable. The other has to do with security deposit. The old lease, the expired lease, required a security deposit of $5,500 on an annual rent of $40,000. There's no formula to indicate how that was derived. The new lease has a security deposit in section five, but does not say how the security deposit is calculated. So that's something we just need to think about. I haven't had a... How big is the security deposit in the new lease? It doesn't... Or it doesn't have any... No, I don't think it... It refers to... I don't have that tab. No, I'm sorry to say. So I don't have that with me. But I think that's something we should look at and maybe make... One thought would be to make it like the same percentage or the same value that the old deposit was. Yeah. So when we discuss this next time, I'll have something more detailed for you on that. So the old lease describes the use in detail. And I think that was intentional. Personal residents of no more than 12 individuals who are clients of the tenant and offices and temporary living accommodations of the landlords of staff. The model lease... Just has a model lease language for normal educational purposes consistent with the neighborhood. I think it might be better to be specific. Yeah. Absolutely. Okay. All right. We'll put that back in because that's... I wouldn't want the future board members to wonder if something... If some issue arose and I think it's... Yeah, all of a sudden they have 20 people in there or whatever else. So the old lease addresses parking in two different places that are inconsistent. Section 15 says that the tenant has three parking spaces. The rules and regulations say two parking spaces. They think they have three. I will look at the plan to see... We have this allocation plan of parking that is very formal. But I think they need to know if they've got parking. And the board will want to consider a lot of these leases. Most of the leases for the building do not specify parking. As a practice, we accommodate a couple of spaces for each tenant, but it's not a lease. This one, this expired lease, did have parking in the lease because it's been overnight arrangement. So I do think it makes sense to provide for that in the lease. So that too, we'll straighten that out. I think if they have three now, we should provide for three. So at the next meeting, I'll have more information on this one. And we should be able to put this one... I would think we'd be able to settle this one against one side at the next meeting as well. Great. Okay, thank you. Moving on, we had discussed the Sims escrow. And I owe the board an apology because it's not an escrow. It's the NPP fines. Right, yes, right. So being held back, this goes back to January, I think. We discussed what to do with those fines and had a presentation from the Arlington Land Trust. Following that, we held the matter open to give SNAC an opportunity to come back and make a case for that. And they have not. So I think it's probably time to decide what, if anything, we'd like to do with the money being held. I did get an email with an attachment at the 11th hour. I emailed them and said, you said January, didn't receive anything. This is on the agenda tonight. And there was an attachment that I couldn't download. So I don't know what that was, but it has been a while. That was November. I think it was November when we first had it on the agenda. And then in January, we said we would extend to them an opportunity to provide a formal request. Didn't get anything. And I can't access it. Do you want to forward it to me? Yeah, it's a .dat. I'm going to forward it to you. M-I-K-E? Yeah, M-I-K-E dot C-A-Y-U. Atchina? Yeah. Okay. My phone doesn't have you coming up automatically. That's good. None taken. And I got this one. Mine's on the website so everyone can do it anyway on TV. Okay. Feel free. Exactly, feel free. No, you can't spam. Exactly. So while we're waiting for that to get through the ether, you know, when we talked about this last time, I suggested that it could go to the Land Trust or housing authority. There's also HCA. But the principle behind that suggestion was that the original purposes for undertaking the SEMS urban renewal project were housing, conservation. And so that would make sense if the MPP fines could go to further those two efforts in Farlington. Either both of them or both housing and conservation or the three organizations, it's $26,250. Yeah, I think I recommended that it would be following what Brian asked for or recommended, which is that it would go to the conservation and add it into the conservation money to be then assigned to the conservation lands relative to SEMS. Administering the conservation easement, which does take effort. That was on the table, I think that was a good idea. I agree with Andy. I think it keeps it on the site, which seems appropriate. And, you know, with the Land Trust, it's pretty clear there's a mechanism in place to take in the money and oversee it. So I think we went through the numbers and they need that kind of money to complete what they're doing now and ongoing. It's not too much money for them to have by any stretch. So we wanted to confirm that it made sense and it seemed too based on the facts that we got that. I'm not sure why they went back, because I thought that really was well, maybe it was just still one of the options, but I thought that was the lead option at that point. But I don't remember exactly. I tried to open it in Google Docs. She did say Karen Johnson from SEMS Neighborhood Advisory Committee. And she, because I called at SEMS escrow, she may, I may have confused her too. She said I emailed Brian. He suggested a more specific reference to be consistent with the CR management plan. And that may have to do with letter regarding the annual report. So it's not very helpful. And that's not Karen's fault. It's because I should have made it clear that I was talking about the MPP funds. Although they said they were going to report. Yeah, no. I think the conservation fund makes sense to myself. I think I would agree with that. So we need to designate that the total MPP funds fines of approximately $26,000 be entrusted to the Arlington Land Trust for administering the conservation easement at the SEMS site. Correct. There's no specific name for that? I thought there was. There probably is. So that's when I was actually, before I actually put it into motion, I just wanted to make sure I had the right reference. Yeah, I think that is the right reference. I just thought we had a name for that. There is a name. Actually, is it what she called it here? Hold on. Some stewardship fund. Yes. Is that right? Yes, that is it. The same stewardship fund. Let's try this again. I moved that the collective MPP fines of approximately $26,000 be entrusted to the Arlington Land Trust to be added to the SEMS Stewardship Fund. I second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. So productive. Thank you. Now, Carol, you were going to do that. Exactly. We were there to be that one. And work tracking update. All right. It's been a long, long time since we've done a work tracking update. So I wanted to just revive that and go over just a few things. The master plan, town meeting presentations are going well. We've had two so far. It's Article 46. So we're doing four. We've done two of four information sessions for town meeting members to help them understand the master plan and what endorsement means, what they are being asked to do with this endorsement. Well, I think Andrew went to the second one. So he can comment. Yeah, there was some discussion. Most of the discussion centers, the plan and what's coming itself are not actually what the endorsement means. It seems to be getting some support. We'll have some really good comments and questions. What's the format? Is it similar? Does she give a, do you and does? Members of the master plan advisory committee are there. I think there were four members plus Ted Fields and Laura Wiener. Laura Wiener were there the one I was at the other night. The committee gives a brief presentation. Ted and Laura speak a little bit about sort of the sections that they're responsible for and then they open it up for discussion to anyone that's there. Do they have a copy of an abbreviated? There is an abbreviated plan. Yeah, executive summary. I think it's seven or eight pages. Right. Do I think we got that as town meeting? Yes, we were there at the town meeting. I got that number. It's out there for everybody. I'll bring it next time. I may have one. I can give you copies. I'm supposed to go to one of these things, but I missed the first one. You have another chance this Thursday. There's one this Thursday. Where is that? That one is at the Thompson School. Right. And then the last one is at the Central School. And I'd have to look at the website. I think April 7th. I believe it's Tuesday, April 7th. I'm not mistaken. 7 p.m. And that will be at the Central School Senior Center. They are doing a good job of making sure that people understand that this is not a document that requires anything in the town yet. They've done a very good job of talking about the next steps. And now the town is going to move next into the implementation stage. And they're asking for volunteers, which is great. And it seems like they're getting some interest. At least at the one I was at the other night, they're getting some interest from people who want to become more involved as the steps of the plan of their place. So that was a positive sign, I thought. But it went for about two hours. There were some good questions. Wendy Richter from the Master of Advisory Committee compiled the questions that she heard. So it's interesting. I'll forward that to the board. It doesn't mean that those same questions will arise at the next one, or the next one. But it's informative to see what questions come up. They also were provided with the language of the vote for Article 46. The summary. Two other handouts. Is an implementation schedule. That's right. An implementation schedule so they can see this is what's happening next. And that helps. The zoning map. Thank you. The zoning map. We did not have a zoning map at the first session. But I think it's really helpful for people who have never seen it to realize that a lot of that. The Chocoblogger. Yeah. And that there's so much action on Mass Ave. In terms of zoning districts. There's a lot of variety on Mass Ave, Broadway, Summer Street. But for the most part, the rest of the map is residential. And the master plan doesn't propose a lot of change to the residential districts. With that said though, there is a section on affordable housing and that's got to go somewhere. And there are a few implementation steps that could potentially help property owners who are interested in working with their neighbors to potentially see if the town would undertake something to address concerns about large houses going into established neighborhoods on double lots and that kind of thing. Sometimes doing is managementization. So the implementation schedule is helpful for people to see because you can see that a lot of what is going to follow is staff work or committee work. There is this understandable responsibility like what are we saying we're going to pay for if we undertake this, if we endorse this master plan. And it helps when you start looking at the implementation steps you realize so much of this has to come back to Tony. And that's why we want them to get engaged now and stay engaged as we get to implement it. One of the implementation steps is to work with the community to develop design guidelines for future redevelopment that ideally would be then incorporated into zoning, the zoning amendment. So in order not to lose any momentum we have someone on board who will be working with, we'll have an event April 11th, that's a Saturday. We'll actually do some work on Mass Ave. We don't need some design work but getting input on design preferences. David Gamble, who's done work on the master plan was chosen and Andy Weston, who has been from Master Plan Advisory Committee helped in whittling down the proposals. So that I think will be very helpful because so much of the anxiety in redevelopment is what will look like, how big will it be, will it have an Arlington feel. So I'm looking forward to that and I'll keep you informed. But Saturdays in the spring are hard to come by but it is the best day to try to do some work. So April 11th, bear it in mind. We did the Sims finds. The next is the leases and when moving those along. Gateways. I wanted to make sure you were aware of there's a capital budget item that's already appropriated to improve the appearance of the Arlington gateways at our borders with other communities. Some of the signs are a little decrepit. So it will include signage, a consistent design scheme for all of the signs. And we expect to have the designer present to the Board of Selectments soon. So it's already been, some concepts have been developed and the garden club likes them. The garden club takes care of a lot of the plantings. This also involves coming up with planting plans that will take into consideration our climate, our some consistent design themes across all of the gateways. And an idea of low maintenance. Something that will look good and last and be low maintenance. So I'll figure out a way to get some of the images to you so you can see. It's not that the Board has any particular jurisdiction because it's in the planning Board realm a little bit. I wanted to make you aware of it. I'm going to skip to the East Arlington mass that I've rebuilt will resume soon with a lot of the type of work they were doing in the fall. They're going to continue that. And then more sidewalk work will begin. Laying new sidewalks will begin probably in May. So we'll be letting business owners know that it's resuming and giving them the contact info again. The last time we updated their work tracking, their website was new. So I think it's time for us to look at the website. I'd encourage you all to take a look at the ARB website and give some thought and feedback on what you'd like to see. What you'd like to see different information that you think we might want to have. That's not up there now. We might need to do pictures of the Board. But we might want to wait until the changes. Yeah, I don't have any update on the Governor's appointee seat. I'm sorry to say. We do have some liaison and designates on the open space committee. Andy, you're a designate on the open space committee. Well, you're a liaison, but the redevelopment board had designated Lisa Decker. And it's not clear if she's interested in continuing. I think either the open space committee chair or I will reach out to her. So you might need to make an appointment with Planet Delia. Bruce is the liaison division 2020. And so that's all set. You're also on Milbrook. Right. They went along with open space. So I just kind of did both. And you are the liaison to the massive corridor, but I don't think it will demand much of you. But during the rebuild, I would suggest that we just keep status quo until it's concluded. If you feel that getting to be too much for you, though, let the board know. I didn't do much. I'm being a little positionous because there isn't much of a role at this point. But if anything came up, I think it would be good because we're a design background. So the report to town meeting is... Yeah, that's what I was going to ask. This is how it looks. And if you think it's acceptable, we'll submit it to the Slepelin's office for mailing out to town meeting members with the rest of the materials that the office is sending out. So no comment on the no action on Article 6? We don't usually... Do we not comment? Okay, just go to my member. And we're not doing any... I know it's Article 46, right? But we're not doing any kind of report on the endorsement? Not in this document. Okay, it'll have its own document. It certainly can. Yeah, we need to... I think at the next meeting, kind of choreograph the presentation, maybe even invite some members of the master plan by the advisory committee. And somehow this board and committee have to work together on planning that seven-minute presentation. That sounds like a Bruce Swanson to me. Whoa. Welcome, that's my... Thank you, Mike. I'll leave it to the chairman, of course. Blase of something. Blase of something. One last... Does that rock up the hill one last time? Andy asked why it's not with this. When you're doing a zoning by-law amendment, the Redevelopment Board, the Towns Planning Board, has to report on warrant articles to amend the zoning by-law. So that's why I kept this one separate so that it would just include the zoning. I think it might be a little confusing to have the master plan in there as well. Is it part of the report to the Darling's and Frivoletown meeting? It's not part of the same statutory requirement. State law and master of law... So how does it arise? It's just a request to accept a report. To endorse the master plan. The warrant article says to accept, endorse, and the vote is actually to endorse that you did vote on language, and that did go to the board of selectmen, and they did... They handle their hearings a little differently than the Redevelopment Board. I think they're voting tonight on their votes, their recommendations to Town meeting, and I think they did vote on that language for the endorsement. They voted on it? They voted to... I'm remembering correctly. I think what they did was vote on that language, but then vote on their recommendations separately. What was their vote on that language? To unanimous. Was it unanimous? Yes. So their vote was positive on that language? Yes, they were very enthusiastic and supportive. So that would be... It could be a separate report to Town meeting. But it's really... See, that article is really the Board of Selectmen's report. Yeah, although... Because you're the sponsor of that article. So it's their article. Yeah, I guess... But we don't have our vote anywhere then. Yeah, but it's not a vote... A recommended vote for Town meeting to accept. So our vote was just to present to the Selectmen. To recommend endorsement to the Selectmen. You provided a suggested... You provided suggested language for the vote. Okay. Which they... They correctly accepted it, but in terms of the recommendation to Town meeting, it's the Board of Selectmen's hearing. They hold the hearing on the rest of the warrant articles. But the language was in there, so they've recommended Town meeting to endorse the master plan. After tonight, between the two votes, that will be recommended with that language, if all goes as we expect and hope. Tonight. It will be for the committee and the Board to work together with staff on presentation of Town meeting. So that would be... We won't include slides with images. And reviewing the master plan process, the public engagement, the purpose for the warrant article, and what happens next. And why we're... We'll explain why we're seeking the bodies endorsement. So how long will Bruce's speech be? How long will you speak? Well, that's for extra time. As long as the moderator will learn. Exactly. I miss the moderator. It's his last speech. Exactly. With extensions. So, there's another kind of surprising development. We've learned that a developer is intending to submit an application for a 40B at the UR. Really? In Arlington. In Arlington. Because there's another one I read in the paper that's in a 40B in Belmont. Belmont. The silver... That's a different project. So, we just learned that they're planning to submit the 40B for an application for 219 units. So, I've got an application for a 40B comprehensive permit. By law, it goes to towns that was only board of appeals. At first, we'd have to go to the state. And then the state verifies us. And then there's a 30-day comment period. And then something else happens. And then there's a 90-day... I will get all of this to you just because you want to make some recommendations and comment to the GBA. It's not what the master plan attends for that site. I understand, though, that part of their concept is to concentrate the development on the western edge of this site and to leave the rest for possible for someone to do conservation, improve the conservation values, the wetland values of the majority of the flood plain. It's about a 17-acre site, you probably know. And about 12 of it is in flood... It's floodland, flood zone. There is a small amount of about... What I thought was five acres of so-called upland that's still subject to some flooding. And that's where they would be concentrating the units of parking and the stormwater retention. So that will be a long... I would imagine a long process. I'll keep you informed. Were calculations... We have made a lot of progress. I don't really know. I think we are in a lot better shape than five years ago when we... Yeah, I was wondering the same thing. Laura? There's a couple cases going through now, too. Newton, Stoneham? Stoneham, yeah. What about the acreage, as opposed to the percentage of the units, right? Right. They haven't gone... Yeah, it hasn't been very successful. It hasn't been very successful. Not Newton, anyway. Right. I think that's the one that I remember meeting. There are no... The state doesn't provide municipalities with... These are the hard and fast rules. In fact, they specifically don't. It's kind of a fluid process. And those units are in perpetuity, right? The units on the subsidized housing inventory, that's right, they can expire. On the 40-year project, right? Yeah. They can be in, quote, perpetuity, but perpetuity, is it forever? That's a lot of good... Yeah, it doesn't seem right, but... Contrary as it sounds, but it's not forever. And if they expire, you can engage with the property owner to try to renew that, but there's no leverage to do that. So, when subsidized units come off the inventory, and there are market rate units being developed all the time, then change the calculus as well. So, it's challenging. And in a community like Greenland, where there's no land left for development, it's especially difficult. I know you've just got it nearer to the ground, but, I mean, did they say apartments, condos? Like, what the units would be? I understand that it would be mostly rental, rental ownership units as well. And about 130 parking spaces. How many units total? Two. Two are 290. It's 44 per acre. What's sims? 146? It's 107. It is 1072 or so. 1076. What gives us 116 units? It's bigger than both of those. How many acres of sims? 11. I think one portion was 8. Yeah, assisted living. No, I think, yeah. I think the break-up wasn't like 8. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. We walked it out. It was there for a long time. Exactly. We walked out pushing it out. I hate to go backwards. I have a question about the report for a second. So, I guess my only concern is, are people going to be surprised when we aren't reporting in here? I mean, do we think that there's going to be something else to hand out from either us or us and basically the master plan advisory community? I wouldn't be at all surprised if there is an additional handout about Article 46. It may be very similar to things we've already handed out. Right. The summary's been sent to town meeting members. We will have additional copies of it. Even if it's just a handout of the proposed both or the proposed resolution language that says, you know, submitted by the Ireland to Redevelopment, you know, board 4-0 or whatever, I guess it was 3-0. It's so detailed. It would definitely be made available to people. Yeah, it would be nice I know as a town meeting member I might, well, two things, it's 46, so it's a little strange, right? Because it's something that we've, you know, put in there that isn't in the first 10 articles, right? So it's already a little bit strange, but I guess I just want to I can kind of understand not including it in this, but I think we've got to be on record somewhere that it's ours. And I guess the question I had is, we're required to report on what we do with Zoning By-law, but we've put in articles, right? So that's the report in the legal sense. Can we have a report that in a more generalized sense that also talks about other things that the ARB has done? Namely, participate in helping this master client come to a place that it's at now. And that might be part of a, I mean, I'm wondering if we could sort of amplify what we have here and say, in addition to requirements that the development board has under state law, we also want to revise that meeting of the master plan process what the role of the board was about the role of the master plan advisory committee is, what the role of the board of selection is in putting article 46 on the board. When do you think this needs to be done, to be printed and sent out with the other materials? Any idea on that? It's usually late March. I think sometimes Selections Office sends it out the first week of April. Would you rather have it as part of this document? Well, maybe since you're under a timeline that kind of crunch, probably just stick with this because that fulfills the legal requirement and then look to supplement it with a special report on the master plan. Which we can work on. And it being article 46, we'd have some time to get that done as well. Yeah, that's probably good. Reports help me out with this. Reports are received at the beginning of the meeting. But there's a very limited amount of time to receive reports. No, no, no. You can have a report received. Article 3 is on the table all the time. And I think you're going to put this in. Well, I guess the duration of the report. The duration that Well, you don't even have to say that. You can, because you'll probably be entering this into the report, right? And what you could do is you could say I have two reports. Just because you want it in the record so you bring it up. I don't think that's necessarily the time you want to talk about it. I don't think. Because you're going to be talking about it when the article comes up. So you don't want to get people sick and tired of it. I want to be sure I understand. I think, right? Well, I think that there might actually be a presentation or asking about a special report of the ARB be received specifically with regard to the master plan. And not have that received simultaneously with this report. Agreed. I'm just saying, but I don't think you have to speak to the resolution at that period at a point in time. No. Yeah, I think that's what we were saying. Oh, I understand. Yeah, so no, I think it is a couple weeks later. I think I agree we'll do this one the first night essentially. But you have the special report. I think you would want to wait. So I agree. I just don't think when you put in that special report that you necessarily like a Vision 2020, they usually will get up there and talk about their report. I don't think you necessarily want to do that because you'd raise a point to think for the same presentation. Exactly. That was more important. That's what I wanted to be clear on. I feel so bad for Amy. She has a great job. She sure does. So I'll begin to draft something for the board to look at. Yeah, I'm happy to. And I think as far as introductory language, it probably, you know, wouldn't be surprised if that he has some language that they've used, that's selecting him to use, because they do several different reports. And I think it's usually just a paragraph saying, you know, we're going to report on here's the report on this without much, you know, you don't need all the other intro language that we've got in. So I think that's it for the work track. So I'll submit this to I'll provide copies of a zoning bylaw amendment report to this law firm's office. Thank you, Carol. So one last, sorry, just to mention it, so 40B it's all it's all they although the conservation does still hold a notice of intent for white ones. It's presumed that a 40B has to presumed that a 40B developer has to meet the local wetlands bylaw as well, but they have an opportunity to, if it's uneconomic to follow the local wetlands bylaw, they have to demonstrate why and how it is, but they do have to meet the state wetlands bylaw. And there's no sense of where the egress would be from somewhere like that. It's probably the lakes right now. It looks like they have from what they are planning right now, they would have access I think we have two access points into the neighborhood. Okay. And a bike access to the neighborhood. Is it Mugar themselves or is it something? It's a developer oak tree development working with the Mugar family and trust. That's okay. I'll have to take in. Moving on to approval of the minutes from Bruce. Okay. Carol, I can send this to as a red line. The rest of the board thinks these are worthy of amendment. And the first, I guess it's the second paragraph, the very end of it that says the section regarding posting of notices would come out of a zoning bylaw but be allowed by a zoning. I would suggest that we move on to the last clause and then substitute it in its place. The effect of which the effect of which would be that the posting of such notices would no longer constitute a violation of the zoning bylaw. I understand. Okay. The second page, the 6th paragraph is just a clarification where I said that hypothetically if the proposal were enacted with the intent to be satisfied with a simple statement I thought i.e. that the proposed improvements comply with all applicable zoning requirements to clarify what I was going out there. And then the second paragraph following that said it's common that the issuance of the permit would be an assertion that it meets zoning I think would imply that the allowed improvements meet zoning. And the paragraph after that that begins Mr. Loretty explained in the last sentence which reads he added that what seems to happen now is the application goes to the board without a clear statement. You know, I guess that's okay that has written so remind that one. On the third page the second full paragraph where after the proceeding paragraph says Mr. Penel closed the document hearing and then just as a transition I thought we should have an introductory clause with respect to article 7 Mr. Fitson has proposed et cetera and that was it. I wasn't here for this one. I'm okay with that. I'm fine. Move to approve as amended. Is that good? All in favor? Aye. I abstained from abstention. Parallel email those to you at AB tomorrow. Perfect. Thank you very much. We need to establish a meeting schedule for April and May actually because with the draft schedule it was we didn't have it nailed down because of the time meeting so I'm looking at the calendar over there. I'm going to get it here. Today is the 23rd so if we skip the next if we skip a week the next Monday is the 6th the board could meet on the 6th. You might want to coordinate with the Master Plan Advisory Committee on working on the presentation. I won't be here on the 6th but Laura Wiener said she could cover that night if the board meets on the 6th. We at the Master Plan Advisory Committee today. So you could meet the 6th and the 20th tell meeting start for the 27th. The 20th is Patriots Day though so no you won't be meeting the 20th. So you could meet the 13th but by then I don't know if you're feeling skipping two Mondays it's going to put you too close to tell meeting. I won't be here on the 6th but will that give us enough time to come up with a plan for Sisyphus to come up with a speech? Let's sort of overlook the whole nomination but I really remember that except it was off. So three of you could meet on the 6th. It's hard to tell. You'd have two weeks between the 13th and the 27th to work on any preparation order and it doesn't mean that you wouldn't be able to coordinate with the Master Plan Advisory Committee or one of you might want to work with the Master Plan Advisory Committee possibly the week of the 6th. Right to get something for the 13th that probably makes a lot more sense. So I could even let the Board know to confirm that if a member wants to work with the committee that night. Otherwise the committee could I could report to the Board after the Master Plan Advisory Committee meeting and Laura could then work with the Board on the 6th. Well they have a draft to show us on the 6th or the 13th. You could mention slides or report that kind of thing. Isn't there something kind of in the camera? There will be some progress made on it. But you have something right now that you give already to the selection to the town meeting members in these four meetings. Don't you have a kind of a pretty good format? We have an outline. A pretty detailed outline. Would you start with that or are you going to make something new? I think it would take longer than the presentation time we have. When you use that as an indent. That's the basic information but you have to turn it into something that's great. It's more the introductory language I think. Which is look this is what it is this is what it isn't. That's going to be the thing to do it a lot. This is what it is. We should definitely have a draft with some images. We may not have the whole thing fully formed by them but we'd have something for the board to see and the committee to see. So the question is whether you want to meet on it or just pass it around and then comment on it leading up to the 13th. So meet the 13th. Is that? Well I know I can't make it to the 6th. Sounds like agreement. And then the board will assemble and meet at 10 meeting 27th. 10 meeting is likely to continue. But you have to see if members of the advisory committee can meet on the 13th. I'll find out. A member. The 13th is Thomas Treffeson's birthday and I don't know why that's on my calendar. I don't have any environmental design reviews on deck. If anything arises I will let you know so that you can work that into May. Memorial Day is I think the 25th this year. Some of you at town meeting is likely to continue on the 4th. So we just do a short meeting and then adjourn, recess, I don't know which verb we use to the auditorium to attend. So then I don't know if you're prepared for this but usually the chair attends the sessions but you might want to discuss who's going to after zone anyone. You'll be there anyway. That's good. That's good for family life. So it's leaving the house. Yeah, exactly. I've got to be going to all the town meetings. But boys, right? Uh-huh. Seven hours of emergency room yesterday. Okay, so the 13th and then town meeting on the 27th I'll see if the member of the Mass Plan Advisory Committee or more would be able to collaborate with you on the presentation on the 13th. We'll send a draft before that. On or around the 6th. Right. Or on or before. Yeah, or before. And I'm happy to take a look at that special if we want to do a one page special report with the resolution. Okay, great. Who's chairman of this? Stephen Bern. Oh, he is still? Was he last year? Pretend. Joe Carroll. Joe was last year? I thought it was Steve. Unless I've lost track of time. On or before. I just want to finish this note. My notes are so bad. Draft of the presentation. Thank you. I'll second that. All in favor? Aye. Thank you.
