I will schedule these for a meeting after next week (on 8/8 @ 6:30PM). I
sent the agenda out before I received these. Since the hearings have not
opened, and we have much else to do - REORGANIZATION! - I am not planning to
revise the agenda.
I propose a 2nd August meeting on 8/22 and September meetings on 5th &/or
12th &/or 19th (all Wednesdays).

All,
These are from
Gary & relate to his item on our agenda.
At our meeting last night the members present agreed to the Chair’s request that members will participate in subcommittees. The subcommittees are:
1. Zoning Bylaw
2. Property Rezoning
The Zoning Bylaw subcommittee (comprising 4 members: Wendy Guthro, Paul Valleli, Ernie Zabolotny and a future member) will be responsible for researching proposed changes to the Zoning Bylaw and reporting on same to the committee.
The Property Rezoning subcommittee (comprising 3 members: Shari Ellis, Gary Mercier, Andrew Olney) will be responsible for researching and reporting proposed zoning changes (for parcels) in town.
Additional subcommittees may be established or subcommittees may be expanded to include committee related matters.
Committees will establish their schedules and organization.
We will consider the articles at the beginning of our next meeting. Agenda
to follow shortly.
I also have this in MS word format if you prefer.

Hi Sally,

Thanks.

Hi – Agenda for the next meeting. It’s quite full. I will ask for a motion to adjourn to the planning board meeting at 7:30PM.
Although currently scheduled for the TH Annex, once the PB meeting is added to the town calendar – it’s not there yet – I will move the meeting to the Basement meeting room at Town Hall.
Please let me know if you need materials. I’ve previously sent them but can do so again.
As a member of the sub-com for new By-Laws, I plan to attend the Planning Board Subcommittee meetings with regard to the completion of development of 4 Burlington Woods, a new building for a Marriot Residence Hotel. I asked Paul Raymond when that sub-committee was meeting and he told me that a date had not yet been set. I assume our four members should attend.
Paul: based on your view that Article 14 as submitted to TM is unenforceable and serves only as a general guideline, I assume, and concur, that your position is that LUC should vote against accepting the article as written and offer your substitute for consideration in Jan. Any one of your reasons basically is enough to disqualify the offered version as a component of the zoning by law and I agree it should be considered only as a general guideline. I think there may be some areas where the language may be made simpler but the only comment I have right now is that directly below and vertically below is redundant. Ernie

Subject: [LandUseBurlington] Warrant Article for Jan. Town Meeting [2 Attachments]
Here is the Light Pollution Article as submitted to the Planning Board and other town groups such as Conservation
and BoS. There are a few gaps that need to be coordinated with the existing Zoning By-Laws.
�
>>>>It should be noted that�Warrant Article 14, submitted by the Board of Selectmen for debate� at Sept. TM,
deals only with one of five issues - that of Light Trespass. It is worded exactly the same as �Article 43 that was
withdrawn in May, 2012.�
It is my opinion that Article 14 for Sept. TM is unenforceable, serves only as a resolution, fails to solve the issue,
has no definition or specifications, and�does not specify the enforcing authority ( BoS ???).
I have also attached my proposed amendment to Art. 43 which was ruled "a substantial change" and therefore
out of order by the Town Moderator.
I believe that my�amendment would have properly addressed the current conflict of neighbors on Julia
Connors Drive, next to Mill Pond Reservoir.�There is considerable Case Law applicable to that situation.��
So as a TMM I am confused. I believe in controlling lighting but should I consider voting AGAINST art. 14 on Mon with the idea that Paul will submit a better one in Jan.? What is or will be the LUC's recommendation to us? There is no supporting info on #14 in the TMM packet.

The Land Use Committee will meet at 6:30 PM on Monday, October 29, 2012, in the Basement Meeting room in the Town Hall Annex. The agenda is attached.
Kristin – please send the most recent docs you have for the articles tabled at Town Meeting and re-opened at the Planning Board meeting on Oct 18. You can send them directly to me for forwarding to the committee or to the email group.
I have attached a copy of the referenced Warrant Article ## for OUTDOOR LIGHTING REGULATIONS
I hope to have past meeting minutes in email by the end of the weekend.
Please let me know whether you will be able to attend.
Sally, I have found the missing Figs. 1A,B,C and will bring them Monday to the meeting.
Shouldn't we also consider the Selectmen's Light Trespass article for the General By-Laws?
The wording was still unchanged from the May Town Meeting submission and I still think it lacks clarity, specifics, or nomenclature.
I believe in doing things right the first time, as much as current knowledge allows.
Paul

Sally,
Due to an already Scheduled 3A meeting at 6pm, Planning Board
members and staff will not be able to attend until 7pm. It looks like
you have a full agenda to discuss before we arrive. Attached is a PDF
summary of the carry-over text amendments for review and discussion.

All: Paul Raymond tells me that there is an article in the daily local paper that says Burlington that is Gutierrez/ Nordblom has been awarded a grant of $1mm for upgrading the Second Avenue/ south avenue ,Middlesex turnpike intersections. You will recall that Paul and I had some meetings with Nordblom and Gutierrez and Nordblom, and as a result of the feedback we provided at the Land Use meeting and separate discussions initiated the proposal effort. Although this is only half of what was requested I think that we are allowed to pat ourselves on the back at least once, for helping to get some additional State monies to address our infrastructure needs.
There now may be a new obligation for TM to address. Does it make sense to do only half the planned work on those intersections, or does it make sense for TM to provide some funding to get a more complete improvement job? After you have completed the warm fuzzy feeling after your pat on the back, let me know what you think. We are planning to attend the Transportation planning meeting of MAPC this Wednesday and will again bring up the broad based , long term planning study for Middlesex Turnpike. It would be useful to know your thoughts before Wednesday.
