Chairman Burr introduced Paul Schneiders. Mr. Burr stated that Peter Pineo, Chairman
of the Planning Board had received a letter from Mr. Hamilburg of Plymouth Rubber
asking that the Planning Board withdraw the Article (Article 12). Mr. Burr asked that
Mr. Schneiders brief the Board on this matter.

Mr. Schneiders stated that the Planning Board has shown the Article to a number of
developers and they claim it doesn't work. Mr. Schneiders stated that he had advised Mr.

Selectmen are willing to work off of the Planning Board template and not submit it's own
Article at next Town Meeting.

Board about his concerns about applying the overlay to article this evening. The Board
discussed with Mr. DeRensis its concerns with applying the overlay.
