The Board advised Jason on the content they felt would assist in lending clarity to his application and set a date of November 6th to review and vote on whether to accept the application.

Zoning Board Communication:
- The Board reviewed expenses through the 3rd Quarter of 2019 and proposed a budget submission for 2020.
Motion: Stephen Pierce motioned to submit a flat 2020 budget request.
Second: Ken Parys
Decision: 5-0 in favor
- Laurie Colburn, on behalf of the Planning Board, provided to ZBA with a draft copy of a proposed Zoning Regulation change the Planning Board is preparing for submission as a Warrant Article for Town Meeting related to Accessory Dwelling Units. Ken would like to see a more formal communication process established between the Boards while others felt the passing of information in an informal manner was sufficient. The Board will review the draft proposal with a focus on ensuring clarity, the ability to enforce such a regulation, and continuity with the existing Zoning regulations for discussion at the November 6th, 2019 meeting.
Motion: Stephen Pierce motioned to adjourn at 8:04pm.
