16 Great Neck RoadNorth <br />wlashyee, -Massachusetts oz649 <br />listening to feedback, remaining consistent with policy goals, they would edit where <br />appropriately. In March, they would go back to the property owners that are impacted by this <br />proposal and invite them in to hear what potential impacts would be affecting their properties. <br />From there, the draft will be tweaked further and they will invite in higher level groups for an <br />open session such as Popponesset Beach Association, Peninsula Council, and other home <br />associations. It will be opened to the general public where they go through the restrictions and <br />what the process will be and how they will be enforcing. The final proposal will be ready for <br />May/June. He doesn't want to pursue this pathway without what he is suggesting for <br />engagement. The subcommittee can work with the Planning Department and Commission on <br />drafts and get to a process where nobody in town can reasonably say they didn't have ample <br />time to consume the real information to consume it. <br />Mr. Richardson stated if they are getting 100% positive feedback, then he backs this <br />approach. There will always be somebody who says they were not aware, regardless of how <br />many times they were told. Mr. Fulone inquired if the engagement would still happen if it went <br />to Town Meeting, and that was affirmed. He wants to give everyone the opportunity to listen <br />and learn, but this will not allow them a vote if it goes through the Commission. <br />Ms. Waygan commented that Town Meeting cannot change the Conservation Commission <br />regulations. They don't have that jurisdiction. All these things that impact the filling in the <br />floodplain, that's in our towns bylaws, but different parts of those are controlled by different <br />entities. The Conservation Commission has to vote for some of these items to go through. <br />Mr. Fulone reiterated if residents have the ability to vote at Town Meeting, he feels that is <br />where it should be done. He would discourage taking the vote away from the residents. <br />Mr. McManus stated they will reach out to neighborhood associations, realtor groups, <br />landscaping groups, really any opportunity to educate the community. What they are focusing <br />on first and foremost, is making the public as informed as possible with full transparency. <br />Ms. Faulkner asked about zoning bylaws being 2/3 vote at Town Meeting. She clarified that <br />the fertilizer or wetlands bylaw going to Town Meeting would be a simple majority. <br />Ms. Waygan stated on their list of people to engage, she instructed they not only focus on the <br />people who said no, there are a lot of people who want this to happen. She likes what is being <br />done, it needs to involve the pond and water organizations at some point. They might hear a <br />lot of no's until they reach the public process. She doesn't own or develop waterfront property, <br />but she does swim in water that gets impacted and thinks she has a say. She would like Fuss <br />& O'Neil to come and present on their report. She will talk to Mr. Collins about that. People <br />13 <br />
