More single family home owners responded than percent live here so getting from the rental arena maybe an opportunity #edc0406
Audience question opportunity; first one was hesitant to provide name which meant her question wasn't going 2 be answered until she did, eventually did provide info. Cobi's query had been meant 2 put the info in context of the whole community and it is not a rep sample #edc0406
Shifting to MBTA community analysis, draft guidelines received comments, now expecting the final guidelines from the State in couple of months; what can reimagining downtown Franklin be like? #edc0406
Current zoning change deadline for commuter rail community is the end of 2024; also by right now requiring special approval.
#edc0406 three slides as a rough cut of the guidelines for the area
Q on what funding would we lose if we did not comply with the MBTA guidelines Ans = $2.2M for grove st work, another $200K for Franklin Ridge, other grants are potentially in the pipeline; beaver st interceptor will also see savings as housing community #edc0406
Ran out of time to continue discussion, will need docs from MAPC for committee and community to review and discuss in order to provide feedback to MAPC, lots to review and discuss #edc0406
Motion to adjourn, passes #edc0406
