Atty. Schneiders represented the petitioner. As previously noted, the public hearing was closed in 
June. We are meeting for final approval of the plan submitted, relief from construction of 
required parking. Mr. Armando stated that if a parking structure was to be built, this parking 
structure would need to meet all requirements. Chairman Carroll stated that if there was any 
change in use of this building, then the petitioner must go to the expense of putting in an 
underground garage. Motion made to grant a modification of the site plan and a special permit

(Landscape Plan) 
2. As required by Sec. 4.01.8 of the Canton Zoning by-laws, should “the use of the premises 
ever be changed so that additional spaces (are) required,” petitioner shall provide said

dated July 17, 2008 
3. There shall be no deliveries, refuse pick-up or any other activity at the site which would 
cause noise between the hours of 7:00pm and 7:00am every day 
3-0 to approve 
Motion was seconded, and it was voted . Chairman Carroll said no more 
industrial expansion. If so, you maybe have outgrown the site. Atty. Schneider thanked the 
Board for their patience. Mr. Pando stated that he takes pride in working with business partners 
for the best potential use of a site. It is worth the extra effort. We look forward to having the 
Reiser Company in town for a long time.

Schneiders said that he had spoken to Bob MacDonald, the owner of the abutter shopping center 
and he did not like the signage stating “welcome to and thanks for vi siting the village shops”. 
Wilder Co. agreed to remove the language. Bollards are there now. The concern is for the trucks 
on MacDonald’s property (accessing the rear of Village Shoppes for deliveries). Chairman 
Carroll stated that it was “very narrow”. Mr. Fitzgerald wondered how the Fire Department 
allowed that! The right of way is on Mr. MacDonald’s property. Atty. Schneiders said they will
