board to order before we we provide an outline of our agenda this evening let me introduce you to members of the board on mind nereid is steve pinkerton the vice chair on my near left is steve pi mr wheeler this evening he will not be joining us that's ok that's fine but he's back in town is back that he's back he's back the meeting has been called to order we're going to vote on and that we're going to discuss  where basically at this point we're going through the words in them and making sure they're saying what we want them to say and then there's a little bit of business afterwards before we begin let me just provide an overview to what we're doing one of the things that the planning board does is it looks at the town as a whole and it looks at growth and development in th in the town and the single residence be zoning district which comes as an initiative from the residents of that area is basically an extension of the protections  specific to their location of the single resident sees during district amendments that were put in place two years ago two years ago and so this is part of the planning board controlling the development in the in areas so that the the developments that do take place will be in accordance with the neighborhood and at the same time we do encourage economic development and investment in the housing housing stock but development in investment which is in the that put him that had been put in place nearly sixty six years ago to reflect the current realities of development in the town that being said let's go to the s r b think we're in pretty good shape steve has got some comments on this that's right and i actually still going to head out a couple of items i have the actual war it or record here this is what i actually be voting on so the real quickly want to call though to the boards attention be we at one point we discussed the language of a single into family residential structure and we amended it to say dwelling instead in my conversations with jeffrey actually brought to my attention that the enabling legislation at the state level allows for this regulation of non conforming structures limits the board's authority to single into family structures and the term dwelling  and then i want to bring to the words attention the revision that steve is presenting which i on the screen here i have the current draft version and then steve's proposed revision essentially what this would do is take the  the languages that were st the non conforming existing structure out of sub all at b and placing it in to the superseding bullet too so that it covers both exactly simplifies it it brings the ties together the things that are tied together and that gives you a true a and b the other thing it does is it read states the specific language proposed reconstruction  correction or structural change that appears in the top paragraph addressing the concern that we want to make sure that that's what we're talking about in both of the paragraphs both paragraphs one and paragraph two and so this is the beginning of paragraph t o i just read this out loud and for how the sentence works so i think there's an issue here if the building commission who determines that such a proposal that proposed reconstruction extension alteration or structural change increases in existing non conforming structures ok height in feet to the ridge of a number of stories or gross floor area by more than the lesser of thirty and the dangling possessive is really is we just really are terrible yeah yeah yeah i agree well you can just say if you alteration increases the height of the existing structure solve the problem because that dangling possessive is a little awkward if we just say reason and it's not in the ass tires and it's not in the us or c either so if we if we if we come come on down  actually any of any of those things that increases the nine you know for me right it's a creases either but but but then what you're doing is you're changing the action you're separating the action from what's being acted hang on a nd if the building commissioner determines that such proposed reconstruction extension alteration or structural change to the existing non conforming structure increases in increases the height a increases the height in feet to the ridge or the number of stories for b increases the ghost floor area by more than the lesser of thirty percent or seven hundred square feet either as a standalone op application of itself or when combined with a gross floor area added to the structure during the five year period proceeding the data depending application then the proposed alteration or structural changes shall require a special permit from the planning board i put it is that  and there's one other change now that we need to address and that is in the paragraph above this which is paragraph c it's not on the screen now but it's the one that says perhaps story addition to the non conforming structure that will not increase  of we we are here are allowing half story additions by right and two paragraphs later we're saying that if it increases the height or the number of stories so we need to just completely delete paragraphs and that's that we discussed  and then i think we're caught up you go back to the previous one again but the one that we just read through a minute ago  real quickly chuck you asked me to put together a user friendly oh yeah document this is for the presentation for town meeting that's right and so i won't we have a few meetings left i want to go ahead and get a draft in front of you here feedback and to this is an issue again in boston today oh yeah yeah plus percent with issue but the issue in boston is that the mayor the the something the mayor controls the decision making on their inclusionary evening if you have to take it yeah i mean i just i think it's great to have this for us i was trying to think of a way that you know how they do  graphics with lucky guy like like a big say a big i'm just thinking in terms of like a big circle in terms of a percentage of twenty percent smaller for ten and something like that but we may have too much or too many different parts to be able to do that we have so much i guess my question would be which are you are we do we want to have an infant graphic that just covers all of the amendments that are being proposed or do we urge is there one certain factoid that you want to get across if it's if it's just the percentage see in terms of the percentage if we just did in terms of percentage you could just show that  almost think that should be on the other side you know a simple graphic showing what is this but i was going to do you know how does that compare with the neighbors and that's kind of the deal higher than where it starts where they where it triggers and starts to go what was going to be developed in town so the pie was sliced in many different pieces and it's clear that that sort of fifteen unit kind of thing for fifteen to eighteen kind of units hasn't happened and probably isn't going to happen we'll see the smaller ones like the ten unit things and we'll probably see thirty to fifty year things i think and i think there's probably more reflective of what the development experience o for the rest of quick release where i don't see i don't see i don't see any buildings that are have reached their highest best use and would be coming down like old industrial buildings that kind of thing there's there's some scattered things but
