16 Great Neck RoadNorth <br />wlashyee, Massachusetts 02649 <br />Ms. Wells explained they are currently developing their own site. They have a demo with coUrbanize, to <br />show the latest of what their app can do. They do tend to be expensive and only in six month <br />increments. The Board wants to make sure the project is captured and scoped out correctly. <br />Mr. Phelan inquired about the budget for the site, to which Mr. Lehrer replied there was enough money <br />in the budget specifically for this. <br />Community Engagement Work Plan <br />- Build awareness and participation (website, flyers, mailers, events, etc.) <br />- Public workshops: <br />1. Kick off project where people are split into groups and discuss strengths, challenges, <br />opportunities, and threats to the town. <br />2. Second public meeting happens near completion where a drafted plan is brought to the public, <br />and see if everything was captured correctly, and revisions come from that. <br />- Targeted public input (specific people of importance, housing advocates, department heads, etc.) <br />Mr. Callahan inquired about the robo-call program for storms or elections. He was curious if that had <br />been used in this situation. <br />Ms. Wells noted there may be parameters in which those can be utilized. <br />Ms. Waygan stated as long as there is a budget for it, then it's possible. That would reach a large group <br />of people. <br />Data and Analysis <br />- Begin outline of existing conditions, which becomes the foundation for the plan. You need to know <br />what you have and where it is, so it can be built on, protected, or changed. <br />- Pulling of existing documents <br />- Mapping conditions. Example: land use data from MassGIS for historical, cultural resources, and <br />transportation resources. This is a great foundation to build on and help inform future goals and actions. <br />Planning Systems <br />The Commission's Regional Policy Plan outlines a two tiered system. They would like to use that <br />system as a foundation. <br />- Natural Systems (wetlands, habitat, open space) <br />- Community Systems (culture, people, economic activity) <br />- Built systems (infrastructure that supports the town like roadways, wastewater, drinking water) <br />Community Placetypes <br />Natural Areas, Rural Development Areas, Suburban Development Areas, Historic Areas, Maritime <br />Areas, Community Activity Centers, Industrial Activity Centers, Military Transportation Areas. <br />Mr. Balzarini wanted to add the involvement of Tribal members, especially for historic areas, they would <br />be a great resource. <br />
