Planning board creates zoning bylaw review subcommittee, appoints residents and liaisons
The Millis Planning Board voted Feb. 4 to establish a zoning bylaw review subcommittee and appointed multiple residents and liaisons to the panel.

Chair Richard Nichols moved the measure to create the subcommittee “at the pleasure of the chair” and read a list of appointees the board approved. The appointees named at the meeting were Ellen Rosenfeld, Kaz Borkowski (name pronounced in transcript; spelling standardized as Borkowski), Joe Tucci, Wayne Carlson, Dave Baker, Tom Roche, Mike Gianpietro, Jim McKay and Nicole Riley; the board said one member will serve as a liaison. Members discussed scheduling and logistics and said the subcommittee will elect a chair at its first meeting.

Members set the subcommittee’s initial meeting for Tuesday, Feb. 18; planning staff said they would circulate email contact information and confirm room availability. Board members said meeting notes should be taken and that updated bylaw books would be available for distribution at the subcommittee’s first meeting.

Board members said the subcommittee’s work will examine the town’s patchwork of zoning provisions, including temporary structures, signs, illumination and accessory dwelling units, and will coordinate with other officials and committees as needed. The board emphasized that the subcommittee’s role is to consider updates and provide recommendations to the Planning Board and, ultimately, to the Board of Selectmen or Town Meeting if bylaw changes are forwarded.

The vote to create the subcommittee passed unanimously. The board asked the subcommittee to report back and proposed that the group’s first actions include electing a chair and reviewing updated zoning materials that staff will provide.
