Board Questions: e Mr. Klein suggested making more of the sustainability measures required for any developer of this site. e Dr. Bagoff responded that the Board should have reasonable expectations on the number of sustainability requirements; and that more measures can be discussed at site plan review and/or when an application reaches the Board. e Councilwoman McCartney and Mr. Klein continued to make their case to require additional sustainability measures. e Ms. Gruel reported that the sustainability measures in this plan are stringent compared to other towns’ efforts. e Mr. Trenk supported the idea of addressing the measures at future points in the process. e Dr. Bagoff suggested Mr. Klein have a list of more stringent standards to address at future points. e Mr. Klein insisted we simply require 28 of 29 sustainability standards at this point. e Mr. Guarino suggested that a developer may be put off by too stringent standards at the outset. e Mr. Klein further clarified that even if 28 of 29 standards are required now, it doesn’t preclude negotiation on certain standards in the future.
