Planning Board reviews remaining bylaw amendments, introduces prospective member and fields public questions
Summary
Board briefly reviewed exterior lighting, parking, building‑inspector title change, and limited business district items; introduced prospective member Sue Myers and answered a public question about map coverage for the mixed‑use example.
The Concord Planning Board on Feb. 24 ran through remaining administrative and zoning business in advance of town meeting.
Article 32 (exterior lighting) received brief review and reported new slides comparing shielded vs unshielded luminaires and correlated color temperatures. Article 36 (joint parking/location amendments) drew comments to make section numbering and hyphenation consistent. Article 37 (limited business district plate limit) was described as straightforward with no substantive questions. Article 38 proposes renaming 'building inspector' to 'building commissioner' and board members discussed whether it would be placed on the town‑meeting consent agenda, noting the public hearing will determine which items are controversial.
Chair introduced Sue Myers as a potential new planning board member; she described long volunteer work in town and past employment with state transportation agencies and said she is interested in joining the board. Later a resident, Carol Savoy, asked about the mixed‑use presentation’s maps and whether Concord Crossing included the 9‑acre corner; members said they would provide an expanded map and unit counts at the public hearing.
The meeting adjourned after the round of administrative items and public questions. No formal votes were recorded in the provided transcript.
