16 Great Neck RoadNorth <br />wlashyee, _Massachusetts o2649 <br />Colton Atkinson- He would like to explore zoning changes to be inclusive of duplexes and <br />multi -unit houses. Some key points are duplexes and multifamily residences can reduce land <br />usage, have less tree area clear cutting, and preserve the environment of surrounding <br />buildings. An increase in density helps reduce costs of sewer per person. The missing middle <br />would have slightly higher density. Consider adding language that allows zoning changes in <br />areas that have received sewer, instead of increasing septic. Also consider eliminating parking <br />minimums in residential areas in its entirety and increasing impervious surfaces. <br />Ms. Faulkner asked the Town Planner if he would consider giving an example of each <br />paragraph written so people can understand the Raze and Replace. Illustrations help. The last <br />point was to put penalties on people who are not following. It was answered that any zoning <br />violation is $300.00 a day every day the violation exists. <br />Mr. Lehrer said a diagram is easily implemented, what is challenging is simplifying land use <br />specific jargon to something that is understood and already defined in the bylaw via the <br />terminology section. That proves complicated when trying to use language consistent with <br />zoning act itself.

The Board has 90 days to file this <br />decision. <br />Continue Review and Discussion of Draft Housing Production Plan <br />Mr. Lehrer will arrange a follow up meeting with the Select Board. Each zoning strategy was <br />contemplated and developed by the Affordable Housing Committee, staff, and consultants. His <br />takeaways from the LCP engagement and HPP was a desire for housing diversity, reuse <br />existing buildings and housing stock, and accommodate a diversity of housing typologies <br />within wastewater limitations. It must contemplate zoning strategies. It is important to <br />understand what the primary issues are and relate them to specific findings, refine or remove, <br />or add strategies around vision for housing development. We are confronted with wastewater <br />and nutrient pollution, challenged by the housing market, with variable impacts across the local <br />economy. We need to strike a balance between these realities. We are limited in our abilities to <br />produce housing bound by density contemplated in that water shed plan. These strategies in <br />place are already restricted. <br />Ms. Waygan answered it is not our place to change the CWNP, as this is a five year plan. <br />Since we have just started implementing the nitrogen management plan, we cannot also <br />3 <br />
