BOARD DISCUSSIONS: Master Plan Steering Committee : Discussed the upcoming meeting scheduled for Monday September 18, 2023 at 6:00 PM. It aims to set expectations, organize the committee, and introduce the lead consultant. It was noted that the Select Board has not yet chosen a representative for the committee. Solar Bylaw: Discussed a draft of the Solar Bylaw, specifically addressing large-scale ground-mounted solar installations. An amendment was proposed to exclude parking lot canopies from being counted as large-scale ground-mounted solar installations. This change aims to accommodate federal funding requirements for parking lot canopies. Concerns were raised about the impact of the bylaw on different types of solar installations. It was noted that state and federal incentives have shifted towards brownfield redevelopment sites, rooftops, and away from deforestation-based installations. Rooftop installations are encouraged, and many buildings will be required to be "solar ready" under the stretch energy code. Board will consider revising the Solar Bylaw to base regulations on square footage rather than kilowatts, addressing the changing technology landscape. T. Willsmer made Motion to prepare a warrant article for the proposed changes to the Solar Bylaw, includ ing the addition of regulations for solar canopies. Seconded by A. Reid, all aye. Section 250-6.4., Driveways & Entrances: There was a discussion about the maximum number of lots allowed for residential and commercial properties in common driveways. The question was raised about whether it should be four or six for residential properties and whether increasing the limit would lead to more dense development. The consensus was to maintain a maximum of four for residential lots to limit the intensity of development while allowing for some flexibility. It was mentioned that the common driveway must provide access to multiple lots or structures. The following discussions were noted: Number of Lots Allowed: There was a debate about how many lots should be allowed to share a common driveway. Some argued for four lots, while others considered three or five lots. Noted that Director had a proposal for six lots in a commercial context. ===PAGE 2=== Minutes, September 11, 2023 Pg 2 Length of the Common Driveway: Board raised the issue of specifying different lengths for common driveways based on whether there's town water available. It was suggested that six lots with town water would have a longer driveway (1800 feet) than four lots without town water (1200 feet). Safety and Road Standards: Safety concerns were brought up, especially regarding visibility, blind corners, and the width of common driveways. There were discussions about whether shared driveways should meet c ertain road standards to ensure safety. Access and Frontage Requirements: Clarified that each lot sharing a common driveway should have the required amount of frontage on the road to which the common driveway connects. This helps ensure that il lusory frontage isn't used to bypass the regulations. Retroactive Application: It was confirmed that these regulations wouldn't be retroactively applied to existing properties but would only affect new developments. Commercial and Residential Use: It was clarified that regulations applies to both commercial and residential, and any commercial development would still require additional permits. Adjacent Driveway Use: The discussion touched on the possibility of adjacent properties using an exist ing driveway as a shared driveway.
