B. Announcements

C. New Business
Discussion with Bob Panico, Vice Chair of the Planning Board, and Laura Smead,Town Planner, regarding the
2019 Annual Town Meeting Zoning Articles (see meeting documents)
Ms. Smead stated that the zoning articles fall into three categories:
1) Short-term Rental Articles (Articles 29 and 30). The Planning Board is proposing to define convalescent
homes as "long-term care facilities" in the medical zoning articles.
2) Medical Use Zoning Articles (Articles 33 to 39). Zoning regulations need updating to match current
definitions and classifications of medical uses. Community services such as addictive treatment facilities
need to have a place in the zoning by-laws. The Town needs to be careful not to have any discriminatory
zoning ordinances but also address resident's concerns that do not want certain types of services in their
neighborhoods.
3) Other Zoning Articles (Articles 40 to 42). Article 40 proposes to change underlying Business zoning parcels
to single residence zones. These parcels are near the proposed inpatient detox facility proposed for 225
Turnpike Street. Article 41 proposes the regulation of accessory building size to be small in proportion to
the principal building. This will prevent residential accessory buildings from being disproportionately
large. Article 42 will change the period of time in which a special permit lapses from not more than two
years to not more than three years.
Ms. Smead provided the following information regarding the articles:
• The need for the Town's zoning by-laws to be updated was precipitated by the 225 Turnpike Street
i npatient medical detox facility that had been proposed last year.
FINCOM 20190318 Minutes Page 1 of 10 3/23/19Source page 2
• The passage of state regulations regarding short-term rentals caused the Town of Canton to take action
on defining short-term rentals to be in line with Massachusetts General Laws.
• Proposing articles at Town Meeting will open up the topic for discussion.
• The Town Planner and Planning Board did not receive feedback from current AirBnB operators in the
Town of Canton. Currently there are only about six to seven AirBnBs in Canton that advertise on the web.
• If Brightview, an assisted living facility, located on Turnpike Street, were to expand its facilities, based on
zoning by-law changes being proposed at Town Meeting they would need a variance because the facility
would be considered as an existing facility on anon-conforming lot.
• Article 33 - Ms. Saint Andre suggested that if the Planning Board motion being proposed for Article 33 is
exactly worded as the language in the Article, then the motion could be worded that the Zoning By-Laws
Section 11.0 be amended as printed in the warrant. Ms. Smead would check with Town Counsel on this
proposed motion for Article 33.
• Article 35 — Ms. Smead stated that the article is an attempt to modernize Canton's zoning regulations
around medical facilities and uses. The Planning Board had a split vote of 3-2 for Article 35. The Town
Planner indicated that some of the Planning Board members wanted to see larger lot sizes. They had a
fear that several lots could be purchased and combined to construct a larger facility. Article 35 is another
article for which the motion could be worded so that the Zoning By-law 4.2 Special Regulations be
a mended by adding a new Section 4.2.7 and Section 4.2.8 as presented in the warrant. Ms. Smead
i ndicated that the Town of Canton is slightly ahead of other towns with regard to addressing zoning
regulations for medical facilities.
• Article 37 —Article 37 addresses proposed parking regulation changes by adding parking regulations for
assisted living facilities, separating nursing and convalescent homes from boarding and lodging houses,
tourist homes, hotels and motels which will be included inpatient facilities. The article will also add
i npatient and outpatient medical facility parking requirements.
• Article 38 —Article 38 will delete the Senior Housing Overlay District zoning by-law.
• Article 40 — Ms. Saint Andre inquired if property owners and abutters were notified by the Town that
parcels under this article were being rezoned to preserve single existing homes. Property owners could
attend Annual Town Meeting and make a motion to amend the list of parcels to remove their property
from the motion.
• Article 41— Ms. Smead indicated that the Building Commissioner asked her to review this zoning by-law
regarding accessory buildings.
• Article 42 —Chairman Barker commented that regarding the rezoning of these parcels that it was critical
the Town be transparent because of the implications, if any, regarding the 225 Turnpike Street parcel.
Ms. Smead stated that there would be a presentation at Annual Town Meeting regarding these parcels.
• Article 10 — A Finance Committee member inquired of Ms. Smead regarding the $6,391.30 being used to
supplement the Complete Streets grant program. Ms. Smead explained that the painting of sharrows on
roadways would help to identify and remind drivers and bicyclists that they would share roadways on a
portion of Washington Street from Canton Center towards Town Hall.
The discussion with Ms. Smead concluded at approximately 8:25 p.m.

Vote —Article 10 —Transfer Unexpended Prior Year Appropriations A motion made by Ms.Saint Andre that the sum of Six Thousand Three Hundred Ninety One Dollars and Thirty Cents ($6,391.30) be transferred from Additional State Aid (Fund #176)to supplement the Complete Streets grant program (Fund #113) with the intent that said funds shall be available in FY39 was seconded by Ms. Holcombe. Vote: 7-0. Vote —Article 9 —Motions 1-4 — Adlust Fiscal'19 Accounts Vote —Article 9 Motion 1— A motion made by Ms. Saint Andre that the sum of One Thousand Two Hundred Dollars($1,200) be transferred from Free Cash (Undesignated Fund Balance) in the Treasury of the Town to the Fire Department Grant(Fund #294) with the intent that said funds shall be available in FY19 was seconded by Ms. Holcombe. M r. Murgia explained that the reason for the $1,200 transfer from Free Cash to the Fire Department Grant was to cover deficits for two Fire Department grants. One grant received in FY17 for $2,796 was overspent by $576.41. The other grant received in FY17 for $4,540 was overspent by $575.00. In response to a Committee member's q uestion as to how these grants could have been overspent, Mr. Murgia explained that it can be very challenging for departments to track funds coming in to a grant and expenses being spent from the fund and that usually these deficits are caught during the fiscal year in which they occur. He did not recommend charging the current fiscal year's Fire Department budget for these deficits that occurred one to two years ago. Vote: 7-0. Vote —Article 9 Motion 2 — A motion made by Ms. Saint Andre that the sum of Sixteen Thousand Dollars ($16,000) be appropriated to the Self Contained Breathing Apparatus project by transfer from Free Cash (Undesignated Fund Balance) in the Treasury of the Town thereby increasing the appropriation voted in Article 12 Motion 5 of the 2017 Annual Town Meeting of One Hundred Eighty One Thousand Dollars ($181,000) to One Hundred Ninety Seven Thousand Dollars($197,000) with the intent that said funds shall be available in FY19 was seconded by Ms. Holcombe. M r. Murgia explained that this transfer is related to a $181,000 capital project from two years ago for Fire Department breathing apparatus equipment. This project is being split over atwo-year period and this deficit is to cover Phase 1 of the project. The Fire Chief received a grant towards this project. The Finance Director borrowed $165,000 for the project. The borrowing of $165,000 was not enough to cover the $181,000 cost of the equipment. Vote: 7-0. Vote —Article 9 Motion 3 — A motion made by Ms. Saint Andre that the sum of Thirty One Thousand Six Hundred Nine Dollars and Forty Five Cents($31,609.45) be appropriated to the Lt. Peter M. Hansen Elementary School roof project by transfer from Free Cash (Undesignated Fund Balance) in the Treasury of the Town thereby increasing the appropriation voted in Article 30 of the 2017 Annual Town Meeting of One Million Seven Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars($1,740,000)to One Million Seven Hundred Seventy One Thousand Six Hundred Nine Dollars and Forty Five Cents($1,771,609.45) with the intent that said funds shall be available in FY19 was seconded by Ms. Holcombe. M r. Murgia explained that the 2017 Annual Town Meeting approved $1,740,000 for the Hansen roof project. The town spent $1,439,426.45 which was under budget. The Town borrowed $800,000 for the project while the MSBA grant to the Town was for $607,817, slightly less than the Town expected, leaving a deficit of $31,609.45. Vote: 7-0.

shall be available in FY19 was seconded by Ms. Holcombe.
M r. Murgia stated that the Water Enterprise FY19 budget is projected to have a deficit of $495,894. Of the
$495,894 approximately $95,000 will be for salaries and $400,000 will be for expenses. Negotiated stipends,
overtime expenses, carbon filter expenses and water quality expenses for Elm Street are some of the unexpected
expenses. Mr. Murgia further stated that the Water Revenue is trending favorably and that approximately
$200,000 to $300,000 could be added back into the Water Enterprise retained earnings balance.

M r. Cole asked Ms. Saint Andre why she was against the motion. Mr. Barker stated that his recollection of the
prior discussion on this motion was that Ms. Saint Andre is not convinced that adding a traffic light at the
i ntersection of Randolph Street and Washington Street will completely resolve traffic problems in Canton. He also
stated that she was more interested in having an overview study of traffic throughout the Town that would include
the effect of other traffic lights as well before funds are spent on the Washington/Randolph Streets Intersection.
Ms. Saint Andre clarified that her reasons were 1) the study did not include the lights at Pleasant Street, Dedham
Street and Chapman Street and 2) the study was based upon this intersection being a free flowing intersection
d uring the p.m. commute (traffic backs up) and 3) other reasons based upon the public hearings that were held
w hich she attended.
