Board of Selectmen 
Executive Session 
March 30, 2012 
Memorial Hall - Salah Meeting Room 
Present: John J. Connolly, Chairman, Avril T. Elkort, Vice-Chairman, Gerald A. 
Salvatori, Jr., Clerk, Robert E. Burr, Jr., Member, Victor D. Del Vecchio, Member, 
William T. Friel, Town Administrator, Jennifer Andrews, Administrative Secretary. 
Meeting was called to order at 3:15 p.m. 
Mark Bobrowski as zoning counsel for the Town was also present. 
Mr. Salvatori made the Board aware that Canton Development Partners had been 
working on as development agreement to modify the zoning amendment for Town 
Meeting. He noted that if the BOS agreed, a substitute motion can be made. He 
explained that they had taken the Development Agreement from a few years ago and 
modified it. CDP had already executed the document. 
There was a brief discussion concerning some changes that Board members wished to 
make to the document before signing it. 
The Board members voiced their concerns regarding the zoning change which will result 
in the land development and what kind of impact it will have on the Town. 
Mark Bobrowski was recommending that the Town of Canton and CDP come to an 
agreement on conducting an analysis on the property to see what would be the most 
beneficial development to the Town. This analysis would include financial, traffic, civil 
and accousitcs and lights. The total cost would range around $30,000 to $50,000 which 
should be from an escrow account which would be created by the developer. 
There was some discussion concerning offering to hold a special town meeting to 
consider the zoning article in the fall if CDP agrees to create the escrow account. It was 
determined that there would not be enough time to conduct the analysis prior to 2012 
Annual Town Meeting. 
Motion was made to direct Attorney Bobrowski to develop a memorandum of 
understanding regarding the analysis and to present the idea to Canton Development 
Partners. 
Motion: Mr. Salvatori Second: Ms. Elkort Vote: 5-0 
Motion was made to adjourn the meeting at 4:10 p.m.
