construction of an assisted living at 0 Revere Street. During meeting of October 17, 2013 
Chairman Carroll, Attorney Schneiders, and Zoning Board received a letter from the Board of 
Selectman regarding unanimous opposite to proposed project. 
Richard Staiti speaking as a resident of the town of Canton not as attorney for Brightview/Shelter 
Development explains he’s surprised with Board of Selectman letter, furthermore compares 
project on Turnpike Street to Cornerstone project – 
Assisted Living/Independent Living/ Memory care facility off Turnpike Street, project was 
approved at Annual Town Meeting 2013 as “SHOD” Senior Housing Overlay District, larger 
property, spaces for residents and employees, rooms are larger for residents, has their own 
medical and ambulance services which is less impact on the town, overall a better facility. 
 
Attorney Schneider explains to ZBA that Canton Holdings, LLC – wrote a detailed report to 
Canton Board of Selectman addressing each concern written by Canton Board of Selectman 
dated October 17, 2013. Attorney Schneider asking for a favorable vote for proposed project. 
 
Chairman Carroll – 
Addressed Attorney Schneiders that at 4:00 this afternoon a letter was submitted by 
Attorney Staiti on behalf of Brightview/Shelter development questioning “Use” (letter 
read into record by Chairman Carroll) Attorney Staiti’s letter further states that 
definition of Assisted Living vs. Nursing Convalescent Nursing Care are different. 
Chairman Carroll is surprised by Attorney Staiti’s letter, which has caused another 
setback requiring Chairman Carroll to investigate this matter before he votes on proposed 
project. Chairman Carroll needs to look into language of “use” refer matter to Town 
Counsel. According to communication as referred in letter from Attorney Mann dated 
August 15, 2013 to Canton Building Commissioner Ed Walsh, requesting confirmation of 
definition n Canton Zoning By-Law of 2012 referring to Canton Zoning By-Law Article
