Cliftondale Revitalization Town Meeting Member Vecchione says he will fi le article for zoning overlay district; plans “Zoom Meeting” later this month By Mark E. Vogler P recinct 2 Town Meeting Member Joe Vecchione said he plans to submit an article to this year’s Annual Town Meeting that would create a zoning overlay in the Cliftondale district. But before he fi les the article, Vecchione said, he wants to get feedback from everyone in the 50-member chamber and involve them in the process. He plans to hold the first of several informal meetings at 7 p.m. on Jan. 25 via Zoom videoconferencing. “The goal is to get all Town Meeting members involved in the capacity they want to be and answer any questions any of you have prior to the ATM. I don’t want anyone to feel like they haven’t had a chance to raise questions, provide input, or have a chance to read the article in full,” Vecchione wrote in an email that went out this week to all Town Meeting members and other town offi cials. “This is why I’ll be conducting a series of forums both virtual and in person prior to the Annual Meeting in which this article will need to go through Town Counsel and the Planning Board prior to the ATM,” he wrote.
