ROGER NICHOLAS, TOWN PLANNER UPDATE

The Town has submitted again to the State, a Housing Action Plan, and is confident
that it will be approved. He went on to explain that there are two ways to meet the
10%. This will provide 61 units a year.
Roger met today with a landscape expert, Christine Scypinski, LA, of The Waterfield
Design, that will work on the Downtown Streetscape. They are doing the landscaping
portion of the project. She expects to have a concept in hand by next month, and then
have some kind of coordination meeting. Town Engineer, Dan Donahue is going to
start setting up meetings when appropriate, on getting suggestions on working out the
process and implementation.

Plymouth Rubber District Article: Article 10- will be withdrawn by the Board of
Selectmen at the Special Town Meeting. The Chair recommended that a design
composition be part of the strategy of the P.B. article. The discussion was that the P.B.
won't overlay any parcel at this time for Plymouth Rubber article until the Spring.

 1. SITE PLAN -25 SHAWMUT ROAD-DISCUSSION-TOM SALAH-SUZANNE
 MATTHEWS, ESQ.

There has not been a review done yet, but will share with the Board, a fact sheet about
this project done by their Engineer, Glossa Engineering, Inc. It is a 51,000 s.f
commercial, three store building. One minor issue
Would be with the Conservation Commission, that is with the parking lot within the 35'
buffer zone, and vegetated wetlands. She brought with her tonight the Landscape Plan
and the Lighting plan. John Glossa of Glossa Enginering's letter was received tonight
also. It is a vacant lot that has been cleared. It was announced by Mr. Miller that Mr.
Houston has received the engineering review proposal. They go before the Zoning
Board on November 3rd. Mr. Miller asked how and why another building was needed
there instead of using vacant land elsewhere. Mr. Salah has a client for this building.
Mr. Pineo noticed that over the years, plows have kicked over the concrete exposing
the reinforcing rods. He asked if there was some way Mr. Salah could address that.
Shawmut Street is owned by Canton. The inverts were questioned by Mr. Jenkins.
