At Planning Board hearing on 3/15, a friendly amendment to the Village Business District was proposed by College and part of what was recommended by the Planning Board. The whole idea is to ensure a so called green zone along a buffer of Dennison Park Drive. Since this was the Board of Selectmen's request, the Board will have to also accept the amendment. Our plan is to cover this at the April 11 meeting when you vote the rest of the warrant. Right now, all items are being reviewed by counsel. (Hence, the rationale for not suggesting earlier BOS acceptance).
Amend Section 70-3.4.B.(1) by adding the following:
(f) The area of the VBD within 100 feet offset from the centerline of the spur of Denison Park Drive that connects Knolls Road to the Oakley Center shall be maintained as a green space within which educational uses, structures, and improvements are permitted, but the following are prohibited: commercial uses, structures, and improvements other than gardens or other landscaped areas, sidewalks or other walkways, catch basins or other storm water management structures, and fire lanes, turn-arounds, or other drives for emergency access.
