Acting Chairman Thomas Scully called to order the Planning Board meeting of 
May 17, 2017 at 7. 00 p.m. 
A motion was made by Mr. Mitcheroney and seconded by Ms. McDermott to open the public 
meeting. Motion approved -3-0. 
First Item on the Agenda — Reorganization of the Board. This will be tabled until 
the next meeting when we have a full Board. 
Next Item on the Agenda — 28 ELM STREET (Laura Gillespie) - Informal 
Hearing regarding Columns at the end of a driveway on a Scenic Way 
Laura Gillespie wanted to thank the Board for seeing her for this informal hearing. She lives 
at 28 Elm Street and is a longtime Canton Resident. There are two (2) columns at the end of 
her driveway which are twelve (12) feet apart. This creates a very narrow opening to the 
driveway and makes it very challenging to pull in and out of the driveway. The would like to 
move one (1) column in order to make the driveway opening wider to approximately 
eighteen (18) feet wide. The tree warden has been out to look at the trees and the stonewall 
and has no problem with this. The stonewall is not being touched, but will fix and reuse any 
stones that become dislodged or moved. They had someone come out to look at the 
columns and they can be easy removed and relocated. 
The Board suggested talking to DPW if the Applicant had not already done so, and go 
forward with this project with the Board's blessing. 
Next Item on the Agenda - 85 DAN ROAD (Organogenesis Warehouse) — Site 
Plan Review for a loading dock addition to an existing office building located in 
the LI District (Pare Corporation, 8 Blackstone Valley Place, Lincoln, RI 02865)
