3. Discussion - regarding memo to Conservation Com-
mission about future wetlands mapping from
Jonathan Edwards, Director of Community Develop-
ment. The general consensus of the Commission
was that the first priority in mapping should be
to update the.Overlay District Maps. Any additional
wetland mapping would be a helpful tool, although
not definitive in nature given the constantly
changing state of wetlands over time. Also, such
mapping would not totally eliminate the need to
determine Ch. 131,S40 or Art. 32 wetlands on a case
by case basis. Finally, mylar transparancies of
updated overlay District Maps and any additional
wetlands mapping would be extremely useful to the
Conservation Commission.
4. Discussion - Jonathan Edwards informally asked the
Commission if they would consider holding a joint
Public Hearing with CPDC on the upcoming MBTA im-
provements. The Commission felt that a joint
Public Hearing would be inappropriate, legally.

and perhaps confusing to the public. It was
strongly felt that the MBTA should take the
initiative to hold an informational meeting on
their own if a need exists to improve or create
good public relations.
