Overview from Jeff Nutting
how do we make this process simpler? If an existing space and not changing much, how do we make it easier; no site plan or limited site plan. We think it is a fair proposal to streamline the process. Currently all have to go through the full process. If there are tweaks required, we can do so between the 1st and 2nd reading.
Bryan Taberner, Director Planning and Community Development
Beth Dahstrom, Town Planner
Gus Brown, Building Inspector
Currently only one process in place, the Planning Board is stuck forcing all proposals to follow the same way.
12-695 a complete re-write of the site plan and design review bylaw
12-696 removes sign sections from this and puts them into one place as opposed to across documents
12-697 administration and enforcement information on the Design Review Commission
Economic Development committee has recommended this as well as the Planning Board
I also recommend looking at the comparison chart
Pfeffer - this makes no sense to me, hasn't from the beginning, doesn't now
Roy - why 500 sq ft the rule for exemption, just curious for the amount to make this the exemption
Taberner - we did struggle with this figure, we needed a simple number to go with a relatively small change. It is up for discussion on what is appropriate.
Nutting - for every 1,000 sq ft, you need a parking space; this is less so to make the smaller change easier; it may not be a magic number but that is how we did it.
Bissanti - I'd like to speak to my concerns on a broader manner, if there is not a site plan on a property regardless of size needs a full blown plan. If there is not one already, Even a small developer can not be put through the full plan. There is discretion now, a limited site plan is a misnomer.
Taberner - as it is today, if there is no site plan on the property, and want to make a change small or large, wording is so specific. We can leave it the way it is, we need to make it fair to each developer coming in. Silly things could happen, not that they do, they could. It is a mess, not only at a Planning Board meeting, maybe this or maybe that is not the way to deal with an applicant. Reality is it needs to be fixed. It is hard on the planning board, developer, and staff.
Nutting - we made a proposal, if we have to tweak it, we can.
Dahlstrom - Did you have a chance to read the scenarios? i hope you did. Each scenario has occurred in the office. We can not answer the question on whether it is limited or full, there is no way to say.
Vallee - the majority of the Council have an issue with the bylaw. I wan to appoint a subcommittee of three to meet and review this before it comes back to us.

Citizenship Award – James E. Vallee
Roy - only complaint is that the job he has done will make his role that much as challenging. Always accessible, always approachable. Parallel with family in having two girls and a boy. Spend time with your beautiful family. Thanks you for all your work on behalf of Franklin and our neighboring communities.
Bissanti - Jim's local hand's on approach inspired me to take a more active approach. He was never without a smile.
Jones - You have a been a good friend, you have taught me much. I aspired to do as much as you do to support the community like you do. Your efforts have not been unnoticed. Thank you for all your years of service.
Pfeffer - This is not a eulogy, you are very much alive and should be around.
Podwerly - You are the epitome of public service. Never hesitant to answer a question, even if it h=may have been a simple one. All of those things that have made you a great rep will enable you to be a success in your new role.
Dellorco - Everyday when you walked into the State House, you think of Franklin
Jim Vallee - I can't believe I am leaving before Tom!
Mercer - I have been honored to work with Jim for quite some time, in the 90's when Franklin was the fastest growing community in the state. Thanks to Jim we are building a model school for the high school.
Nutting - I would like to add that we would be still fighting with the MSBA and the price would be fifty million dollars more. Our chapter 70 amounts are the largest in the state, the roads, helping with the playground, the signs downtown, your foot print is every where.
Jim Vallee - My peers in the legislature are jealous of this community. The Town has chosen good people to work with, Mark Ceral, Jeff Nutting, Maxine Kinehart, etc. I will continue to help Jeff Roy. A lot of people get paid in other communities for what you do. I intend to stay engaged in this community and volunteer where I can. Thank you Dad for your inspiration.
Dick thank you for everything you have done for this town!
Roy - thank you Dick for all your help in the transition. It goes a long way. You two have been inseparable!

"It will give us a major studio"
An article in the Milford Daily News gets into how Franklin TV has the money to purchase a new building to create a studio. Franklin is not alone in setting up cable access in this manner.
Read more: http://www.milforddailynews.com/news/x1783185244/Franklin-TV-station-plans-move-to-new-studio#ixzz2FUbK0ua1
Notes from the Planning Board discussion on the site plan can be found here
http://www.franklinmatters.org/2012/12/real-time-reporting-franklin-tv.html
Public access stations such as Milford TV and Franklin TV get their funding from residents’ cable bills. The towns’ two cable providers - Comcast and Verizon - pay about 4 percent of the revenues generated from an access fee to fund the station, equating to about $300,000 to $350,000 a year.
"The access fees are collected by the carriers and turned over to the town," Fasciano said. "In the past four years, the town has spent less money than the fees that were taken in."
Franklin TV purchased the 3,500-square-foot building at 23 Hutchinson St. for $400,000. It’s a significant expansion for the company, as its Main Street studio is a mere 620 square feet.

The two swans that have made a home on the DelCarte property were visible when I stopped by Sunday morning on my run along Pleasant St.
With the rain we have had recently, the water level may show some signs of rising.

"I think it's a matter of staying alert"
In the round up of areas schools on the first day back after the Newtown, CT tragedy, the Milford Daily News writes in part:
Read more: http://www.milforddailynews.com/news/x1107423287/Schools-evaluate-safety-after-Connecticut-shooting#ixzz2FOnscwEu
Franklin Superintendent Maureen Sabolinski said district administrators worked through the weekend on safety procedures.
"Our target was to return to business as usual," she said. "We did not have any memorials or school-wide announcements about it."
The district, Sabolinski said, regularly re-evaluates safety.
"We work very closely with the Police Department - we met just a month ago to review protocol and do lockdown drills," she said.
Sabolinski said school doors are always locked, and the schools have cameras.
"We did have an additional police presence," she said. "We have resource officers, and requested additional officers to reassure the parents."

MassDOT Goal: Triple Bicycling, Transit, Walking
I was curious to see what the percentages worked out to be as the numbers shown in the table below were quite large. The percents don't really change a great deal.
Biking % Transit % Walking %
2010 7.2% 87.9% 4.9%
2020 7.3% 87.8% 4.9%
2030 7.6% 87.5% 4.9%
Granted that even a tiny percentage change requires a change in habit, I was surprised to see that the program would NOT increase the overall amount of walking being done.
Secretary and CEO Richard Davey in October announced MassDOTs mode shift goal to triple the distance traveled by our customers through bicycling, transit and walking. That goal now joins other goals incorporated into MassDOTs GreenDOT Implementation Plan with tasks and indicators.
MassDOT established the goal to build a more efficient transportation system where fewer of our customers depend on driving alone to get where they are going. We want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation system and support better public health outcomes by working to give our customers more healthy travel options.
MassDOT will measure our progress on this ambitious mode shift goal using Personal Miles Traveled-distances traveled by all our customers for bicycling, driving, transit and walking in a one year period. It also measures all the trips taken by our customers, not just work trips which are often the focus in transportation planning. Measuring the distance traveled by each mode allows MassDOT to see strategic opportunities to improve the travel options for our customers, strengthen the relationship between land use and transportation planning, and draw a link to greenhouse gas emissions. Goal numbers are listed below.
Year Bicycling PMT Transit PMT Walking PMT Total
2010 (baseline) 150.4m 1.83b 101.1m 2.08b
2020 (benchmark) 330.0m 3.99b 223.9m 4.55b
2030 (goal year) 516.m 5.93b 333.6m 6.78b
Personal Miles Traveled as the goal measurement is effective and maximizes resources available to MassDOT by using data that is already collected from the Federal Highway Administration's Highway Performance Management System, Federal Transit Administration's National Transit Database, and an estimation of bicycling and walking using data from the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey.
Check out MassDOT's GreenDOT web page for the Implementation Plan and more information.

A Franklin woman accused of faking test results at the state police drug lab was indicted on 27 charges by a grand jury Monday, according to Attorney General Martha Coakley's office. Annie Dookhan, 35, a former chemist at the Hinton State Laboratory Institute, faces charges of perjury, falsely pretending to hold a degree from a college or university, 17 counts of obstruction of justice and eight counts of tampering with evidence. A spokesman with Coakley's office said the investigation is ongoing.
