Max

Kim Thanks for you efforts, try to address the proposal on a new Franklin affordable housing index as the State 40b index overstates our affordable status

Councilors comments
Sheridan, thanks to you and Cobi
Jones, thanks, esp to the Administration for their support of the work that came through this to the Council
Frongillo, not easy to get behind the plan, easier to point out things that go wrong ... Not done with downtown ...

Rezoning, need the missing middle housing, lot size, impervious coverage, set back, 40r an option for the downtown triangle option for a state match for those efforts
Better design standards, way finding signs now that we have branded the Town

Shared parking, with incentives

Hamblen, thanks to the administration and planning staff for getting the work done
Don't forget about the Master Plan, needs to be worked with along with the Housing Production Plan

Redefine the affordable housing index, Franklin for All ...

Didn't get to all of the recommendations

Motion to adjourn
Passes 4-0

That's all for here for now... Ready for the Town Council meeting at 7
