Nelson noted the storm water regulations will involve the Planning Board.

Leven, Bennett and Nelson discussed further.
Nelson explained this meeting will be similar to the introduction meeting with the Board of Health.
Some topics will come under a town meeting vote. (Storm water)
Leven mentioned changing the water quality by-law. It could apply town wide instead of only in a zone II.
Taylor asked if the committee will meet with Conservation and the Board of Health regarding a 208 plan.
Should someone from Conservation Committee become a stakeholder for 208?
They discussed the water quality by-law further. Leven explained the Planning Board is limited to what
they can do under 40A for residential homes. Leven explained the State recognizes the Planning Board
relative to the zoning by-law and subdivision rules and regulations.
Schell commented regarding the recent Planning Board MP Renaissance project/public hearing. He was
surprised that a significant number of members kept asking if the applicant needed more parking when
the applicant was trying to move ahead with less parking.
Leven explained the Board was willing to go along with the applicant since the applicant has other similar
businesses. The Planning Board will review parking in a year.
Nelson and Leven are meeting 8-13 with George Meservey and 8-20 with the planner in Harwich.
