Commission chairperson Gary Schwartz predicts that meeting will be monopolized by the debate over whether to expand the town’s borders to include a portion of Piedmont Avenue. The planning commission and ARB will reconvene Nov. 9 to review the final draft of the guidelines before proposing the 126-page document to the Tbwn Council.
