Armando Also Present: Tamra Stock, Recording Secretary Meeting Held in the Salah Hearing Room, 2nd floor, 801 Washington Street, Canton, MA Acting Chairman Pando opened the meeting at 7:00 pm and reads the agenda. Ponkapon Civic Association — 17 Greenbrair Road — 16 -18 -ENCU -Mod SPA -SP -V Chairman Pando opens the hearing and explains this is a continuation. He states both sides have made good presentations and he continued the last hearing because he wanted to go out to the site to look at some of the concerns the neighbors had. Mr. Vinciguerra states he has no more comments but is interested in the number of days the alcohol is going to be served. Mr. Paul Carroll states the Board did receive and email from Mr. Larry Ransford. Although not all of the information was new it was still enlightening. Mr. Carroll mentions Mr. Ransford is the neighbor most impacted. Chairman Pando states there are abutters affected by the Civic so his comments are understandable. He is aware there have been problems in the past but is satisfied that most of them have been rectified.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. He will ask Mr. Edward Walsh in the middle of the summer to report back to the Board so if it needs to be modified or if the Board needs to take further action we can do it at that time. Mr. Carroll states he hopes the Board has made an impression on the leadership of the Civic and they don't need to be reminded this is in a dense neighborhood. The dumpsters should be properly placed. They shouldn't be banged around at 4 in the morning. Chairman Pando states he would like the Civic to consider as a group the security lighting. He understands security lighting is needed. In the future he would like them to look at some nice LED lighting. He would also like them to consider the rubbish collection. Explore recycling. Have members take their own trash. He would like to see if there is a way to reduce the dumpster to two 30 gallon trash barrels maybe there is a more sensitive way. This will not be a part of the decision but he would like them to look into it. Chairman Pando thinks by issuing Special Permit for their request to consume alcohol outside for four days is reasonable and the Board will be flexible if you have a rainy day and need to move things around you can. He would like to try this and
