Zoning Bylaw Amendment 19-829: District Enumerated-Creation of Mixed Business Innovation Zoning District-Referral to the Planning Board ( Motion to Refer Zoning Bylaw Amendment 19-829 to the Planning Board- Majority Vote (5))

one of a series of 6 for the creation of the Mixed Business Innovation district

enhance district, remove the heavy manufacturing and hazmat issues currently available in the zone today

adds three new use types: craft, maker space, business incubator

looking to reuse the buildings rather than to allow them to be razed and more a strip mall type building approached

Kelly - would prefer to have some residential aspect for Planning Board consideration in this as well

Dellorco - agrees with Kelly, does limit it

Earls - good as is, we could come back and add a residential component

Padula - what was objection to inclusion of residential?

Taberner - Fire Chief asked to not include residential; residential in this current building is not a good idea; we can deal with it if someone comes in with it. It is allowing multiple options for the current plan; some of the adjourning owners are aligned with this, some less so but will be part of the open hearing process with the Planning Board

Jones - arguing for inclusion of the residential aspect

Hellen - taking the zone from what it is to a better spot, maybe it is not residential; 

Nutting - if you include residential, it will come in as condos; we already have 1,000 units on the plans, we don't need more

Kelly - I am not at all saying I want housing on that site, it can go via special permit; we need to create some kind of affordable housing in Franklin

Padula - I think it is a good use of the property


Paul DiBaggis - in general, my reaction was this is what town planners should be doing. Maybe residential aspect, not a killing point, getting more there is the way to go; there are over 100 uses and except for 2-3 of them I agree

Beth Wirling, 164 Main St
work is well done put forward, residential doesn't make sense; would be wonderful to have artist space but maybe not in this space

Kit Brady - Cultural District Committee, this is adjacent to the Cultural District, it could help support the district as it is proposed, no need for residential; we support this proposal as a Cultural District Committee

motion to waive reading, seconded, passed 9-0

motion to referral to Planning Board, seconded, passed 9-0

10g. LEGISLATION FOR ACTION
Zoning Bylaw Amendment 19-830: Use Regulations- Mixed Business Innovation Zoning District - Referral to the Planning Board (Motion to Refer Zoning Bylaw Amendment 19-830 to the Planning Board- Majority Vote (5))

Paul DiBaggis - only exception is one, quite well done, page 4 of the 11 pages; MBI - already are in the R5 district, GR5, three uses added in - don't want to see these three added to the R5

Taberner - Planning Board special permit, new uses to be added need to be added to the table; one other individual had similar concerns; in comparison to the other allowed uses, it is not a stretch for these three

Hellen - R5 is a small section, we are fine with N in those

propose amendment a change on p4 of 11, zoning use schedule 2.24 etc from PB to letter N for no
seconded, passed 9-0

approx 3,000 Chromebooks for 5,300 students
High school and middle school primary users 1:1

network built for redundancy, three providers can roll over from one to another

network is important and growing more so
lights are coming to the work, some day

servers provide authentication for access, and control software deployments

most organizations have a mix of cloud and local services, a cost factor

no administrative rights for software installs, need to open a ticket to do so

when using a school account still protected no matter where they are, home or school

offsite locations replicate between FHS and Municipal building

internal testing (phishing simulations) via KnowBe4

Chromebook repair big item
all printers are outsourced, a big savings

involved in meetings with every department as technology is everywhere

clickers do get extra training for having 'clicked'

follow up questions 
on the risk assessment from last meeting, and steps being taken to address
on the phish training being done

have we been hacked, no
isolated units have been targeted and the antivirus software stopped the instance from spreading

insurance coverage in pilot this year, may be a cost for it next year, should be a relatively small amount in the grand scheme of things

are we protected? we are as well as can be

students have Chromebooks, internal security, and are enabled only for email within the system (exception set up for outside contacts)

moving servers to virtual servers
Chromebooks 1:1 ate middle school and high school
middle school student systems remain in the school (saves on repairs)

ongoing challenges
  • top concern - security
  • balancing act of security and providing functionality
  • staff retention of tech staff
  • sustainability of technology infrastructure (need to plan for replacement of devices) (currently not funded and needs to be)
is there a new model for the Chromebook replacements?
only since 2014 (when high school opened)

BYOD could be used but for state testing requires Chromebooks so total BYOD is not practical

comparison of Chromebook vs. the old printed book versions is also compelling
