[Town Meeting] proposed amendment

Information About Article 10
 
What are the exemptions in Article 10 supposed to accomplish?  Additions to existing homes of over 350 square feet footprint are covered, but new houses under 1500 square feet footprint are exempt.  As a result, most new houses would NOT be affected by this bylaw.
 
 
Here is footprint data for recently constructed houses:

61 Scituate33601472

 
All data from Town of Arlington Assessors’ Database
 
NOTE:  ALL OF THESE HOUSES ARE UNDER 1500 SQUARE FEET AND SO WOULD HAVE BEEN EXEMPT FROM PROVISIONS OF ARTICLE 10 HAD IT BEEN IN FORCE
 
To address this problem the following amendment will be submitted:
 
MOVED:  that in Paragraph A of Section 2 of the Arlington Selectmen’s vote on Article 10 the figure 1500 be replaced with the figure1000
