The Board of Selectmen was presented with a packet of information as a possible settlement to 
possible litigation surrounding water/sewer connection fees. 
After considering e-mails and a letter dated August 7, 2014 from Michael Glynn, Development 
Director, Shelter Development Group, the Board approved the request. The Board voted to authorize 
the water/sewer connection fees to be charged based on FY14 rates ($314,990 vs. $542,850). The Board 
acknowledged that Brightview had submitted a development proposal while the FY14 rates were in 
place. Roll Call Vote: Victor D. Del Vecchio, yes; Avril T. Elkort, Yes; John J. Connolly, yes; Gerald A. 
Salvatori, Jr., yes; Robert E. Burr, Jr, yes. 
The Board also, as part of the vote, included the requirement that the entire mitigation fee due, 
$712,595, be due and payable to the Town of Canton no later than the issuance of the first permit for 
any construction work related to the project upon site mobilization. This same provision (upfront 
payment) would apply to any future phase should that occur. They added a requirement in the vote to 
emphasize the significance of using local contractor preference when Brightview selects various trades. 
Mr. Friel also advised the Board of Selectmen that he had consulted with the Building 
Commissioner who agreed to review all plans for the project prior to Building Permit fee being paid. The 
Building Commissioner will issue a letter to that effect.
