The motion was seconded by Theresa Hervey; the motion passed unanimously. d. 223 North Main Street; Tax Map 0115-0141-0000 Building posted both as 2 Jenness and 223 North Main Street; 3-family Committee members reviewed the property tax card, a GIS map and Google Street View images of the property. Adam Hughes made the motion to send a letter to the property owner that requests they discontinue using “2 Jenness” as an address and to use a sub-address for each of the units. The motion was seconded by Gary Boudreau; the motion passed unanimously. e. Addressing procedures Renée McIsaac explained that there has been some confusion recently regarding the procedures for when a property is assigned an address number. She pointed out some of the differences in procedure between a property that needs addressing following a Planning Board decision; a vacant lot that is now requesting a building permit; and a vacant lot that is now requesting a driveway permit. Guidance is provided in the E-911 Address Naming & Numbering Policy and in City Code Chapter 223-33 B and C. Renée McIsaac noted that there have been some ADU’s that have received their Certificate of Occupancy (CO) prior to receiving an address. She indicated that these should be addressed before CO issuance. Adam Hughes stated he would work with Building and Licensing Services to include a step for address review for ADU’s. Richard Carr stated he would add a step to new driveway permits for address review. f. 190 Wakefield Street; Tax Map 0113-0020-0000 Proposal to re-address to Chestnut Hill Road Adam Hughes noted that the property is in the process of permitting a change of use and felt that with the main access coming from Chestnut Hill Road, it should be re- addressed. He made a motion to re-address the property to Chestnut Hill Road. The motion was seconded by Gary Bourdreau; the motion passed unanimously. Adam Hughes noted that the Wendy’s across the street should also be re-addressed to Chestnut Hill Road. This will be considered at a later date. E911 Meeting Minutes 2026-03-04 DRAFT Page 2 of 3  g. Road Name Confusion – Farrington Street and Barrington Lane Adam Hughes explained that there has been some confusion among first responders between the road names Farrington and Barrington. Committee members noted that Barrington Lane has fewer parcels and a name change would impact fewer residents. Gary Boudreau recommended bringing this concern and recommendation to the Public Safety Committee for review and consideration. Adam Hughes stated he will draft a description of the concern and forward information to DPW for placement on a meeting agenda. h. Townsend Lane Adam Hughes explained that there are five apartment buildings and each unit has a building number. He would like to see this updated to one building number with sub- addresses for the units. He has started to engage with management about making a change for the site. Keri Devine noted that the assignments for Empire Court (10, 20 and 30), have worked well for first responders. 4) Old Business 20 Spaulding Avenue Adam Hughes stated that the property owner agreed with the unit designations proposed. Gina Golden-Silvestro will forward the final version to Renée McIsaac, so an addressing letter can be issued. 5) Adjournment. A motion was made by Renée McIsaac to adjourn at 12:29 and the motion was seconded by Theresa Hervey; the motion carried unanimously.
