[MassHistPres] Clearer maps

[Dcolebslade at aol.com]

It would seem to me that the way in which the map has been drawn  (confusing, 
etc.) is not at issue as long as the "contents"  ( i.e., the  coverage of the 
historic district) do not change.  I would  be surprised if this "better 
drawn map" would have to be taken to  Town Meeting.  But if you do, we found out 
that a proposed map must  actually be shown to the Town Meeting, not just 
discussed.

Hello,

What are the requirements to  get a new HD map officially adopted? Is it
enough to have a public hearing  and then a town meeting vote, to accept the
new maps? 

The actual  boundaries have not changed. We are simply going from a  confusing
hand-scrawled map to a clear map overlayed on an assessor¹s  map.
