ANNUAL TOWN MEETING MAY 12, 2014
PLANNING BOARD MOTION:
MOVED: That the Zoning By-law be amended to add a new Section 7.7, Special Requirements for
Registered Marijuana Dispensaries, as set forth in the Warrant.
PLANNING BOARD VOTE: 3-0-0
FINANCE COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: At the time of this writing, the Planning Board had voted to move the
article as written in the Warrant.
The Finance Committee is aware that the Town’s temporary moratorium on medical marijuana facilities will expire
on June 30, 2014. The Committee believes it is important that the Town enact zoning provisions to govern these
facilities in order to protect the Town from such a facility being opened in a location that would not be conducive to
good planning and economic development. The proposed amendment under Article 13 is based on a template that
has been used by a number of municipalities.
The Finance Committee supports the motion put forth by the Planning Board in the Warrant.
PLANNING BOARD DISCUSSION: This proposed by-law would provide for a special permit process if a
Medical Marijuana Facility sought to locate within the Town of Canton. While such a facility would be subject to
state guidelines, each city and town is also allowed to create zoning by-laws to address issues including but not
limited to location, security, monitoring, and removal. As a town, we cannot prohibit such a facility but we can
create this by-law to ease any adverse effects. The Planning Board recommends approval of this article as it
protects the interest of the town and the citizens therein.

ANNUAL TOWN MEETING MAY 12, 2014
FINANCE COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: The Planning Board recommends deleting this section, and adding a
new lot shape provision under the next article, to restrict the creation of “pork chop lots”. The Finance Committee
concurs in the Planning Board recommendation.
PLANNING BOARD DISCUSSION: The Planning Board voted 3-0 to recommend this article as the section
to be deleted will be replaced by Article 15.
APPROVED__________DISAPPROVED__________
ARTICLE 15
AMEND ZONING BY-LAW SECTION 4.1.6 BY INSERTING NEW PARAGRAPH “LOT SHAPE”
Article 15 To see if the Town will vote to amend Section 4.1.6 of the Zoning By-Law as most recently amended
by inserting the following as a new paragraph, or to take any other action related thereto:
3. Lot Shape. Required frontage in all zones shall be not less than the “Min. Width Through Building (ft.)” listed in
Section 4.1.4 of this Zoning By-Law. Said frontage and width shall be maintained throughout said lot to the rear
set back.
No part of a structure shall be closer than 10 feet to any lot line not defined in this Zoning By-law.
Planning Board
FINANCE COMMITTEE MOTION:
MOVED: That the Finance Committee recommends that the motion presented by the Planning
Board to Town Meeting for Article 15 as written in the warrant be adopted.
FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE: 7-0-0
PLANNING BOARD MOTION:
MOVED: That Section 4.1.6 of the Zoning By-law be amended by inserting a new third paragraph
as follows:
3. In Residence Districts, the boundary of each lot shall be capable of containing a rectangle whose
shortest side is no less than the required minimum lot frontage in the applicable District and whose
area is no less than 80 per cent of the required minimum lot area in the applicable District.
PLANNING BOARD VOTE: 4-0-0
FINANCE COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: The Planning Board recommends adding a new lot shape provision to
restrict the creation of “pork chop lots”. The Finance Committee concurs in the Planning Board recommendation.
PLANNING BOARD DISCUSSION: The Planning Board recommends adoption of this article as it aims to
address pork chop lots in Canton. A pork chop lot is when a larger lot is subdivided through the ANR (Approval Not
Required) process. The remaining two lots could potentially allow a developer to place a new house in front of an
original house creating drastic sight line changes for the original.

PLANNING BOARD VOTE: 3-0-0
FINANCE COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: At the time of this writing, the Planning Board, who sponsored this
article, had voted to withdraw this article. Given their initial vote to withdraw was done early in the Town Meeting
cycle, the Finance Committee did not have any substantial discussions regarding this article. The Finance
Committee supports the Planning Board’s motion to withdraw their article.
PLANNING BOARD DISCUSSION: The Planning Board respectfully withdraws the above article in order to
solicit additional information from other boards and to address certain issues raised at hearings.

PLANNING BOARD MOTION:
MOVED: That Hemenway Drive be designated as a scenic road pursuant to Massachusetts
General Laws Chapter 40, Section 15C.
PLANNING BOARD VOTE: 3-0-0
FINANCE COMMITTEE MAJORITY DISCUSSION: The Finance Committee decided to support this motion,
which was proposed and unanimously endorsed by the Planning Board, by a margin of six in favor and one
opposed.
FINANCE COMMITTEE MINORITY DISCUSSION: The vote in opposition to this motion was based on two
points. First, Hemenway Dr. is a private road, not a Town of Canton road stretching between Washington Street in
Canton and Brush Hill Road in Milton. There was no information from the 12 residents of this private way
presented to the Finance Committee. There was no information as to the purpose for requesting this designation
as a Scenic Way, or any specific benefits that this designation may bring with it. With the lack of specific
information, and understanding for this request, the dissenting vote was made not to support this article to Town
Meeting.
PLANNING BOARD DISCUSSION: The Planning Board voted 3-0 to support the efforts of citizens on
Hemenway Drive and recommend the designation of Hemenway Drive as a scenic way under Massachusetts
General Laws Chapter 40, Section 15C.

ARTICLE 18
LOCAL FUNDING MATCH – CHAPTER 90 ROADS PROGRAM
Article 18 To see if the town will vote to raise and appropriate, transfer from available funds or borrow pursuant
to any applicable statute, a sum of money in an amount not to exceed $850,000 to be spent by the Board of
Selectmen acting as the Board of Public Works to supplement the amount received from the Chapter 90 Roads
Program with improvements done in accordance with improvement specifications as determined by and subject to,
the approval of the Department of Public Works and consistent with locations identified in the Town’s Pavement
Management System, or to take any other action related thereto.
Board of Selectmen
MOVED: That One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) be appropriated to be spent by the
Board of Selectmen acting as the Board of Public Works to supplement the amount received from the
Chapter 90 Roads Program with improvements done in accordance with improvement specifications as
determined by and subject to, the approval of the Department of Public Works and consistent with
locations identified in the Town’s Pavement Management System and to meet said appropriation One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) be transferred from Free Cash in the Treasury of the Town.
FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE: 7-1-0
MAJORITY DISCUSSION: For FY 15 the Town will receive between $772k and $1,158k in Chapter 90
funds from the state for road repairs. The Director of Public Works has indicated that Town would have to spend
approximately $24 Million to bring all the roads in Town up to a marginally satisfactory condition. It is clear that in
the future, the Town will need to allocate town resources to maintain roadway infrastructure. Chapter 90 funds are
simply not adequate to maintain the many miles of roads in Canton. The Finance Committee recommends that
maintaining roadways should be part of the town’s capital plan in the future. The supplement of $100,000 from
free cash for FY15 is a small start in providing additional roadway maintenance funds.
- 44 –Source page 45
ANNUAL TOWN MEETING MAY 12, 2014
MINORITY DISCUSSION: No one can deny that the Canton Roads need repair. Chapter 90 money from
the State is authorized for road repairs. In the recent past, Canton has used, with State approval, Chapter 90
money to build the new DPW garage, and soon the DPW will seek approval to use Chapter 90 money to expand the
salt shed. The Finance Committee was told that the DPW garage and salt shed contribute to the repair of the Town
roads. The dissenting vote feels the DPW garage and the salt shed are examples of projects that should have
fallen under the Capital Plan. The dissenting vote was based on the fact that there is no restriction on the use of
these matching funds for actual road repairs and road work.

ARTICLE 19
STREET OPENING BY-LAW AMENDMENT
Article 19. To see if the Town will vote to amend Section 12 of Article XVI of the General By-Laws of the Town
regarding street openings by amending the definitions in Subsection 2 and temporary patch provisions in

curb-to-curb cold planing and paving job; (b) any of the patch styles listed in the second paragraph of Subsection
11.4 - Permanent Patches along all sides and each end of the Street Opening Work for the entire length of the of

paving before December 1st of that year because of scheduling or any other reason, including but not limited to a
determination by the Awarding Authority or Awarding Authority Representative, then the Applicant/Permit Holder
shall cause a Winter Preparation Patch, as defined by this ByLaw, to be completed on such Street Opening Work
prior to December 1st of that year. Any failure to so complete such Permanent Patch before December 1st of that
year shall be a Default.
If said Winter Preparation Patch remains in good condition, and curb-to-curb cold planing and paving is not
required as part of the project as determined by the Awarding Authority Representative, then the Applicant or
Contractor may request the Awarding Authority Representative in writing that the Winter Patch be inspected and
approved as the Permanent Patch and for a refund of the Refundable Deposit for the Street Opening Work. If the
Street Opening Work does not pass Permanent Patch inspection, which the Awarding Authority Representative may
inspect and may determine in such Awarding Authority Representative’s sole discretion, then the Permit
Holder/Applicant must cause a Permanent Patch to be installed pursuant to Subsection 11 of this By-Law. If the
Awarding Authority Representative, in the Awarding Authority Representative’s sole discretion, determines that the
Street Opening Work passes the Awarding Authority Representative’s inspection of the Permanent Patch, then the
Permit Holder/Applicant or Contractor may submit to the Awarding Authority Representative a written request for
the return of the Refundable Deposit, which may be returned to the Applicant on the Finance Department’s regular
schedule, provided that the Applicant/Permit Holder and Contractor are not in Default.

FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE: 6-0-0
DISCUSSION: This article would amend the street opening by-law. The purpose of the street opening by-law
amendment, proposed by the DPW, is to upgrade the present by-law to assure that private developers/contractors
are being held to certain standards with regard to temporary patches and winter preparations to keep the roads in
safe condition during street openings. Utility companies would be excluded from this by-law. The Finance
Committee supports the amendment to help protect our roads from further costly repairs.

CHAPMAN STREET CURB IMPROVEMENTS
Article 20 We, the undersigned residents of the town of Canton, request that town meeting raise and appropriate
necessary funding for the upgrade of the sidewalk curbing located on Chapman Street, beginning at the
intersection with Washington Street, running to, at, or before the intersection with Beaumont Street. Such curb
safety improvements shall be done in accordance with curbing improvement specifications as determined by and
subject to the approval of the Department of Public Works.
Bruce Beckham and 13 others
MOVED: That the subject matter of Article 20 be indefinitely postponed.
FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE: 6-0-0
DISCUSSION: The Finance Committee voted to indefinitely postpone this article. Road repairs are funded by
Chapter 90 monies derived from the State. The funding is limited and the DPW currently uses it to fund a paving
plan for the roads and sidewalks in Canton. This article would require a majority of that funding and disrupt and
delay repairs of other streets within Canton that are in greater need.

44B of the General Laws and by authorizing the Board of Selectmen with the approval of the Community
Preservation Committee to acquire by purchase, gift or eminent domain such real property interests in the name of
the Town, or enforceable by the Town, including real property interests in the form of permanent affordable

matching funds, to be used for the Committee’s administration and operating expenses. These monies can be used
for example, for administrative help, appraisals, legal or environmental consultants, and other Committee expenses

FY15. Any amounts not used during the year for legally permitted administrative or operating expenses will roll
over to the Town’s general CPA fund.

MOVED: That the sum of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) be appropriated to be
spent by the School Committee for the purpose of restoring the High School Tennis Courts, and to fund
this appropriation One Hundred Eight Thousand Dollars ($108,000) be transferred from the CPA Open
Space and Recreation Reserve Subaccount and Ninety Two Thousand Dollars ($92,000) be transferred
from the FY14 CPA Budgeted Reserve.
FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE: 8-0-0
MOTION 3
FINANCE COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: Reconstruction and installation of post tensioned concrete at high
school tennis courts. Funded by $200,000 CPA funding, $80,000 BOS funding, $85,000 debt capital.
The courts are in a state of disrepair and playing on them has become a challenge due to the numerous cracks that
exist on the court surface. This project would entail reconstruction of the tennis courts in Post Tensioned Concrete
creating new courts in the same space as well as removing and replacing the fencing that surrounds the tennis
courts. The tennis courts are used during the school day at various times by the physical education department
and by the interscholastic tennis teams. Additionally, the courts at CHS are used throughout the year, at all times
of the day, by the citizens of Canton. They are the only set of public courts in the community. Lastly, the
recreation department runs tennis clinics throughout the summer. While housed on the CHS campus, the tennis
courts are a public resource that provides a wonderful benefit to the citizens of Canton.

COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE MOTION 4
MOVED: That the sum of Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000) be transferred from the CPA
Housing Reserve Subaccount to be spent by the Canton Housing Authority for a Community Housing
Preservation project to replace electrical boxes in Veterans’ Housing.
FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE: 5-3-0
MOTION 4
FINANCE MAJORITY DISCUSSION: The Finance Committee voted 5 – 3 in support of this motion to
approve the CCPC’s recommendation to appropriate $30,000 from the Town’s CPA funds to replace outside
electrical boxes at 13 two family Veteran’s housing units located on Pequit Street. The current 200A, 240/120V
overhead service will be replaced with two 100A main circuit breakers to address an electrical fire safety hazard
and building code violation, caused by age and weather damage to the current boxes. These housing units, which
are owned by the Commonwealth, are managed by the Canton Housing Authority. Current Canton residents are
given preference in allocating these subsidized housing units. Canton’s Housing Authority made application to the
CCPC for CPA funds. Canton’s Fire Chief also supported the Housing Authority’s application.
MINORITY DISCUSSION FOR MOTION 4 AND MOTION 5: The Canton Housing Authority is an independent
locally elected Board, financed by the State legislature and run by a Housing Authority-appointed Director. The
properties benefitting from this motion are owned by the Commonwealth. The dissenting vote is based on the
idea that portion of Canton’s property taxes going to the CPA should not be used to augment funding for state
owned property. Of lesser concern, not necessarily expressed by all FINCOM members voting against this motion,
involved the actual beneficiaries of the improvement. The article states it is for Veterans’ Housing. It is unclear if
this funding is being applied selectively to a subgroup of residents living in State owned housing. Reportedly, all
the houses on Pequit Street need improvements. The original discussions with CCPC simply dealt with the moneys
from the CPA.

COMMUNITY PRESERVATION COMMITTEE MOTION 5
MOVED: That the sum of Sixty Three Thousand Seven Hundred Dollars ($63,700) be

multifamily Veteran’s housing units on Pequit Street, with hard wired, interconnected smoke detectors as required
by applicable building codes. These housing units, which are owned by the Commonwealth, are managed by the
Canton Housing Authority. Current Canton residents are given preference in allocating these subsidized housing
units. Canton’s Housing Authority made application to the CCPC for CPA funds. Canton’s Fire Chief also supported

FINANCE COMMITTEE MOTION:
MOVED: That the Finance Committee recommends that the motion presented by the Planning
Board to Town Meeting for Article 22 as written in the warrant be adopted.
FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE: 8-0-0
PLANNING BOARD MOTION:
MOVED: That the Article be withdrawn by the proponents without consideration, without
prejudice and without unfavorable action thereon.
PLANNING BOARD VOTE: 3-0-0
FINANCE COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: At the time of this writing, the Planning Board, who sponsored this
article, had voted to withdraw this article. Given their initial vote to withdraw was done early in the Town Meeting
cycle, the Finance Committee did not have any substantial discussions regarding this article. The Finance
Committee supports the Planning Board’s motion to withdraw their article.
PLANNING BOARD DISCUSSION: The Planning Board respectfully withdraws the above article in order to
solicit additional information from other boards and to address certain issues raised at hearings.

ARTICLE 23
HOME RULE PETITION – TO ALLOW CANTON TO HOLD MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS ON THE FIRST TUESDAY
AFTER THE FIRST MONDAY IN NOVEMBER
Article 23 To see if the town will vote to authorize the Board of Selectmen to file a petition with the General Court
for special legislation allowing Canton to hold annual municipal elections on the first Tuesday after the first Monday
in November.
Bruce Rohr and 23 others
MOVED: That the subject matter of Article 23 be indefinitely postponed.
FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE: 6-0-0
DISCUSSION: The petitioner feels that moving local elections from April to November will improve voter
turnout. The petitioner expressed the reason was that the State elections and definitely the Presidential elections
bring out higher voter turnouts that the local elections. The petitioner feels that with more voters there would be a
more representative result of what the Town voters wanted.
The Town Clerk, as the Registrar of Voters, was against this article for cost reasons and logistic reasons. Local
ballots cannot be printed on the same ballot as the State and Federal elections. Enough ballots for the local
elections would have to be printed to accommodate the expected number of voters for the State and Federal
election, greatly increasing costs from what it is today. The process of checking in voters and checking out voters
would double, as two sets of lists, one for each ballot, would have to be cross checked to vote and after voting.
This would result in twice as many poll workers as Canton now uses, and very likely would result in lines twice as
long as were present for the last presidential election.
The members of the Finance Committee voted to Postpone Indefinitely for a variety of reasons some of which
include: the negative financial impact, lack of empirical evidence, strain on voting infrastructure and the concern
that this proposal may generate more total votes, but not necessarily increase interest in Town elections or choice
in candidates.

ARTICLE 24
TRANSFER OF A PORTION OF SPECIAL EDUCATION STABILIZATION FUND TO SUPPLEMENT SPECIAL
EDUCATION BUDGET DEFICIT
Article 24 To see if the town will vote to raise and appropriate, transfer from available funds such as the School
Special Education Stabilization Fund, or borrow pursuant to any applicable statute a sum of money for use by
the School Committee to partially offset the special education deficit in the school department FY 14 operating
budget, or to take any other action related thereto.
Board of Selectmen for the School Committee
MOVED: That Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000) be transferred from the School Special
Education Stabilization Fund for use by the School Committee to offset the special education deficit in
the school department FY14 operating budget.
FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE: 8-0-0
DISCUSSION: The Federal government requires the Town to pay for additional costs associated with educating
children with certified special education (SPED) requirements. Because there is no way to accurately predict the
number of such children who will move into or out of the Canton School district each year, budgeting for such costs
in advance is particularly difficult. The Town’s Special Education Stabilization Fund was set up specifically to help
meet these costs in years when the costs of providing SPED services exceeds the amount budgeted.

Director (in his capacity as Chief Procurement Officer) with the approval of the Superintendent of

Dam.
FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE: 8-0-0
MAJORITY DISCUSSION: Repairs to Shepard’s Dam are a priority public works project. The Finance Committee
supports the completion of this project. The funding requires three motions due to three sources of funding for a
total of $2.1 Million.
Motion 1 is to appropriate $1 Million of which $335,000 will be borrowed. The Town was fortunate to obtain the
remaining amount ($665,000) through a state grant.
Motion 2 authorizes the transfer of $204,898.16 that was borrowed for projects previously authorized by Town
Meeting. These projects have been completed, allowing the Town Meeting to transfer the excess funds to the
Shepard’s Dam project.
Motion 3 transfers $895,102 from free cash for the remainder of the funding.
MINORITY DISCUSSION: This motion is asking for a simple transfer of previously authorized funds for projects
such as the Town’s Performance Contract project and the Fire Station 2 repairs to repair the Shepard Pond Dam.
The Town’s Performance Contract was voted to improve the energy efficiency and energy savings in Town owned
buildings. The Fire Station 2 Roof Repairs have been completed and this motion seeks to transfer the remaining
balance to the Shepherd’s Pond Dam Project. New and additional funding for other Fire Station 2 repairs is being
asked for in Article 11, Motion 4.

Dunkin’ Brands has been an excellent corporate citizen since moving to Canton roughly 10 years ago. This original
TIF Plan was approved by the BOS prior to the 2004 Town Meeting. Approval of such a TIF Plan is a way for
Canton to maintain our well-deserved reputation as a “business-friendly” town and keep Dunkin Brands in Canton.

FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE: 7-0-0
DISCUSSION: This Article designates the property at 40 Dan Road 43D as a priority development site. This
means that the expedited permitting process would apply to this property, and the state would provide additional

vacant. The Finance Committee supports this Article to assist in returning this property to a use that will provide

Board of Selectmen
MOVED: That the following unused borrowing authorizations previously voted by the Town be
hereby rescinded:
AUTHORIZED AUTHORIZED AMOUNT TO BE
DATE ARTICLE PURPOSE AMOUNT RESCINDED
4/25/11 25 High School Roof Repairs $294,000 $65,086
4/25/11 26 Rodman School Roof Repairs $347,000 $195,909
4/28/08 13 Mot 9 Sewer SCADA upgrade $275,000 $125,000
FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE: 6-1-0
DISCUSSION: The majority of the Finance Committee voted to rescind borrowing authorized under 3 articles
approved at previous Town Meeting. In each case, the actual costs under each article were less than expected,
resulting in less money being borrowed. Canton was required to authorize borrowing for the full projected cost of
the School projects in order to secure State funds. Once the State reimbursement arrived, these authorizations to
borrow were not needed.
With regards to the SCADA project, authorization to borrow for the Sewer SCADA is being rescinded and will be
funded with Water Cash Capital (Article 11 Motion 8).
This article is therefore a bookkeeping transaction whose only immediate effect is to improve the Town’s fiscal
appearance in the eyes of lending agencies.

funds or borrow pursuant to any applicable statute, in order to increase any Stabilization Fund of the Town
established pursuant to MGL Chapter 40, section 5B, or to take any other action related thereto.
Board of Selectmen for the Finance Director
MOTION 1
MOVED: That the sum of Eighty Five Thousand Dollars ($85,000) be transferred from Free Cash
in the Treasury of the Town to the Special Education Stabilization Fund for the Fiscal Year ended June
30, 2014.
FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE: 6-2-0
MAJORITY DISCUSSION: The majority of the Finance Committee supports this article to transfer $85,000
of Free Cash into the Special Education (aka SPED) stabilization fund. Due to the uncertainties of the SPED
budget, the majority felt it was important to continue to fund this account for FY15.
MINORITY DISCUSSION: The dissenting votes were based on the fact that there was only a very limited
amount of money available for three areas the Finance Committee is recommending for spending; i.e., the
matching Chapter 90 funds (Article 18), money to be transferred to a Special Education Stabilization Fund and for
the $138 million unfunded liability the Town has for Other Post-Employment Benefits (OPEB). The dissenting votes
were cast because of the suggested distribution of this limited amount of money.

MOTION 2
MOVED: That the sum of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) be transferred from Free
Cash in the Treasury of the Town to the Town Stabilization Fund for the Fiscal Year ended June 30,
2014.
FINANCE COMMITTEE VOTE: 8-0-0
DISCUSSION: The Finance Committee unanimously supports a $400,000 transfer into the Town’s general
stabilization fund. It is the strong belief of the Finance Committee that sound fiscal policy warrants that sufficient
funds be contained within the Stabilization Fund to deal with unforeseen emergencies. A healthy balance in reserve
funds is also essential for maintaining Canton’s excellent Standard & Poor’s AAA long-term bond rating. Bond
Rating Agencies typically require that Towns receiving an AAA rating have 10 to 15% of their operating budget held
in reserves and currently Canton reserve levels are at 12.5%.
The rating agencies have stated that a critical factor in continuing to award Canton with an AAA rating is the fact
that Canton has voted to transfer funds into the stabilization fund each year despite difficult economic times.
