• Edits to draft Large Home Review Proposed Article as submitted by Town Counsel
(CB)reads the proposed edits to the article aloud. The new language is similar to the Site Plan Review Bylaw. The
Board should break down the language to determine what direction it wishes to go. This article will be a big
discussion on the floor of Town Meeting and they need to be ready. (AG) has looked around the State. She does
not feel the Board should act in haste; suggests they create a committee to review. They should gather information
from the Assessor's Office to see what the real numbers are in regard to new development and square footage.
(CB) reminds the Board that the decision needs to be made this evening in order to make it on the Special Town
Meeting (STM) warrant. (BF) thinks the square footage number should be higher to trigger the review. Extensive
conversation regarding square footage and what number square footage should be used as the trigger of the review
and what measurement should be used(RGFA v. GFA). (MD) does not think they have the metrics to be ready for
the STM. Public Comment— Kevin G. Heine of 57 Howe Road stated that he did not think that the Board had
thoroughly researched the issue and it did not seem to him that they were ready to go to Town Meeting. After
