6:30 pm Planning Discussion
• Anne Kitchell stated that she has been working on drafting a Stormwater Bylaw&Regulation.
• Clarification was made on two items:single-family residential projects and what would fall on the owner,and unpaved
roads and paved parking lots.
• The draft that is currently being worked on stated that a 2500sf disturbance would trigger the regulation. It would be part
of the building application. The advantage is that it would allow the PB to control the small lots in town and the hiring of an
engineer would not be required. A single page sketch included could be part of the building application.
• There was a long discussion on different aspects of this potential regulation.
• There will be more discussion on this in the future as it gets finalized.

Latham Centers will be taking down three buildings on the site and replacing them with a two story, 22-bedroom
dormitory. Their goal is to accommodate all the students on their main campus. They will also be improving accessibility,
common areas and providing enhanced security.

5 system will be installed.
