There is no Planning Board representative on MPO unless elected through the regional process. LID (Low Impact Development) Bylaw - Neighboring community drafts supplied to Board members. As the Board looks ahead to crafting an LID Bylaw, members will provide comments to A. Burney. Rules & Regulations Governing the Subdivision of Land - Board members previously communicated that they wished to work on the Master Plan before working on th e Rules & Regulations. A. Burney believed it was important for the Board to start working on the Rules & Regulations, expressing that they are not affected by the Master Plan. The Rules & Regulations regulate subdivision construction and if they are put on hold for another 2-3 years, the Town could see land subdivisions coming into Town that are working with regulations that are twenty years old. He also felt this would coincide with working on a n LID Bylaw. Bright Farms, 361 Massachusetts Avenue - There has been a proposal from a nati onal lettuce grower to build a 1.0 MMSF greenhouse. They would purchase the parcel. MEETING SCHEDULE: August 10 August 24 ONGOING ITEMS: Chapter 204, Stormwater and Storm Sewers - M. Brenner noted the re are references to setting up a system to deal with a preset amount of runoff; e.g., equivalent to, or greater than, 1.0 inch. He inquired if that number was based on historic trends or future predictions. A. Burney responded usually historic trends. A lot of the numbers found in the bylaw come from the EPA National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Phase II Permit for the Town’s municipal separate storm sewer system (MS4). He had a similar question concerning the percentages for Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Total Phosphorus (TP). Those percentages also came from the NPDES Phase II Permit. ADJOURNMENT: P.
