If you watched or plan on watching the Templeton Advisory Committee meeting of May 2, 2019, please be aware of a math error; discussion on a by-law change proposal, regarding zoning changes on Baldwinville Road, a 6 month time frame was brought up; the problem is we all failed third grade math! Meeting date referenced happened on December 11, 2018 and the 2019 annual town meeting is on May 15, 2019, that is 5 months rather than 6 months, so at least part of the MGL was met. Thought you should hear of this error from a member of Advisory Committee first. Best to be in front of mistakes rather than hope no one notices! I apologize for the error and any possible confusion, etc. The point concerning the 6 month time period came from a resident, whom I very much appreciate taking time to attend the meeting; but the mis count was not realized until today.
As an FYI, one of the parcels of land affected by the zoning change is owned by a member of the Templeton planning board.
