TOWN OF CANTON
PLANNING BOARD
MEETING OF JULY 8,2003
MINUTES

ANR PLAN-392 YORK STREET-THOMAS THORN/JOHN MOONEY,
ESQ.

Mr. Mooney represents Mr. & Mrs. Thorn. He clarified that the line across the lots that is
solid is not a separation of lot lines, but rather showing the lot width through the building.
This is a SRAA zoning requiring 75' frontage. Both lots meet that and they are on a
public way, York Street. There are some variances being sought for both lots. Lot 1
there is a build factor of 28.92, exceeding the 23 in the By-law. Also, the lot width
through the building is 122.76', with 200' required under the By-law. On lot 2, because of
the shape of the lot has a build factor of 25.68, exceeding the 23. Variances are being
sought through the Zoning Board of Appeals. The Chair indicated what was in
compliance with an ANR plan. The one question is whether he needs to put on the plan,
that it is not a buildable lot, because of not meeting the build factor. There is a case from
Dighton in the year, 2000 against the Planning Board of Dighton stating that the Planning
Board can not require the applicant to put that on the plan because it is not the function of
the Planning Board. It is up to the Building Inspector as to whether they will issue the
Building Permit, since they do not meet the build factor. The Chair recommends that
even though we approve, he still needs to look at each plan to see that he meets the
build factor. Everything meets the criteria.

Mr. Mooney stated that originally, the main purpose of an ANR is to allow the plan to be
recorded at the Registry of Deeds.
No questions from the Board were given.
Upon a motion made by Mr. Miller and seconded by Mr. Comeau, to approve the
plan for 392 York Street dated May 20, 2003, with a memo to the Building Inspector
that he inspects the lots before issuing permits, the Board voted 5-0 in favor.

7:15 P.M.

ANR PLAN-132 WASHINGTON ST.-ERNIE CAPPUCCINO/BOB
MANONES

Mr. Cappuccino spoke to the Board and indicated that he wants to combine the two
parcels that are on the plan presented. He owns both lots. The build factor is on the
plan.
Upon a motion made by Mr. Jenkins and seconded by Mr. Comeau, the Board
approved the plan dated 617/03 combining parcel A and lot 1 to make Lot IA. Voted
5-0 in favor.

7:15 P.M.

HEIDI SAMOKAR OF MAPC-DESIGN REVIEW GUIDELINES -
CONTINUED

At the last meeting with the Board, Heidi promised to come in tonight with a camera
ready copy of the guidelines. She was hoping for an endorsement of the copy. She was
not able to get a copy of the Brooks block. It is not critical. Secondly, she needed to
know if the local banks had funding programs for local businesses. Drawings from Roger
Nicholas on street lamps are in there now. She needs to scan a copy of the application is
