the Planning Board regarding the advisability <strong>of</strong> the granting <strong>of</strong> special permits for<br />
industrial uses, as described above in 7.1.8.1, a Technical Advisory Committee may be<br />
appointed by the Planning Board. Said Committee shall consist <strong>of</strong> three members, at<br />

technologies. Each <strong>of</strong> the persons appointed shall be a resident <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Town</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Charlton</strong><br />
for the duration <strong>of</strong> their service on the Committee. Initially, one member <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Technical Advisory Committee shall be appointed to a 1-year term, one member to a 2year<br />

as the special permit granting authority only if the Planning Board finds that the proposed<br />
project is in harmony with the intents and purposes <strong>of</strong> the applicable industrial zoning<br />
district; that it is sufficiently advantageous to the <strong>Town</strong> and the immediate area in which<br />
it is located; and that present and future impacts on <strong>Charlton</strong>'s infrastructure, and built<br />
and natural environments will be minimized. The Board shall deny a special permit<br />
where in its judgment a nuisance, hazard or congestion will be created, or where for other<br />
reasons there will be substantial harm to the neighborhood or derogation from the general<br />
purposes and the intent <strong>of</strong> the By-Law, or that the stated district objectives or applicable<br />
use criteria will not be satisfied. In granting a special permit, the Planning Board may<br />
impose such conditions and safeguards as public safety, welfare and convenience may<br />
require.<br />
