However, there are instances during the public hearing process that the Board will vote on a requested waiver(s) because the outcome of some waivers have a ripple effect on the design of other aspects of, for example, a definitive subdivision plan. For example, the Attleboro Planning Board’s minimum centerline radius is 200-feet. Some developers have requested a reduction that could result in a shorter roadway. The length of roadway impacts the design of the stormwater management system. So this is an instance when I advise the Board to decide on a waiver during the public hearing process so that the applicant has the direction needed to move forward with a design.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#2E74B5'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#2E74B5'>I hope this helps.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#2E74B5'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#2E74B5'>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#2E74B5'>Gary<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#2E74B5'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Monotype Corsiva";color:#4472C4'>_____________________________________<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-family:"Book Antiqua",serif;color:#4472C4'>Gary G.
