2026-11-04 - Advisory Committee (minutes)

Minutes show the Advisory Committee rejected a motion to refer WA 15 and 16 to a Moderator's Committee (report due September 1, 2027), 8-14. It then voted favorable action on WA 15, 14-4 with 4 abstentions, and on WA 16, 14-6 with 2 abstentions (the minutes label the second vote "WA 15", probably a typo). WA 15 would create the Pleasant Street Multifamily Overlay District on a site of about 25,545 square feet, now a 62-space lot: floor area ratio 1.0 to 4.0, height 40 ft to 85 ft, roughly 102,000 square feet of floor area. WA 16 authorizes the Select Board to sign a Memorandum of Agreement with the developer. The Select Board, Planning Board and Land Use subcommittee (5-2) earlier supported. The Advisory Committee may reconsider on 2026-11-17 - Advisory Committee; Town Meeting begins 2026-11-17 - Special Town Meeting.
