Format changes proposed for Oct. 15 Town Meeting By Christopher Roberson
D
uring this year’s fall Town Meeting, residents will be asked to vote on five articles dealing with minor changes on how the meetings are conducted. Article 5 asks that the primary presentation for any given motion be limited to 10 minutes. That time could only be extended by a Town Meeting vote. Article 6 asks that speakers from the floor limit their comments to three minutes and speak “no more than twice upon any question.” Article 7 requests that Town Meeting sessions begin no earlier than 7 p.m. and end no later than 10:30 p.m. However, there would be an exception if there was still a motion on the floor at 10:30 p.m. In addition, residents would retain the right to vote to extend the session. Article 8 asks that no article be reconsidered after a final vote is taken unless the Town Moderator determines that there has been a
“significant error, omission or change in circumstances.” Article 9 would require that notice of each Town Meeting be given at least 14 days in advance and that the Warrant be posted in at least six public places. In addition, on Article 4, residents will be asked to consider accepting Parsons Avenue Extension as a public way. The article will also ask that the Board of Selectmen be authorized to acquire land to create the public way. Regarding zoning, Article 10 will ask residents to “amend the Re - codified Zoning Bylaw by restoring certain provisions that were inadvertently omitted in the process of recodification.” Specifically, the article looks at limiting building heights in all districts to three floors or 40 feet. However, variances of up to 10 additional feet may be granted in the Commercial and Limited Industrial Districts.
