Mr. Yarworth asked the Board to decide where they would approve of Medical Marijuana
locations being placed in the Town so that the By-Law can proceed to be written. The Board
discussed the issue and decided that the IA District would be best.
Mr. Yarworth explained the changes being made to PGC #472-6 for the Conservation
Commission and the Board was in agreement with the concept.
Mr. Yarworth stated that the Building Commissioner has an issue with the definition of the width
of a piece of property as currently shown in the Zoning By-Law. The Board discussed it and felt
that this was not a priority, and that no changes should be made at this time.
The Board reviewed the draft new Zoning Map that Mr. Yarworth prepared, and it was agreed to
continue with the revisions. Mr. Widak will meet with Mr. Yarworth to review where other
minor changes to zoning lines may be needed.
Mr. Yarworth reviewed the proposed combined Water Resource Protection District By-law and
revised map, and the Board approved proceeding.
Motion to adjourn at 9:08 pm was made by Mr. Throckmorton and seconded by Mr. Davis.
Motion Voted Unanimously 5-0-0
