Kate gave a summary of what the Planning Grant would cover; to revise zoning by-laws and subdivision by-laws, development of slopes and storm water management, lake front protection and economic development. The grant is for $8,000. Kate explained that we will have three town meetings with a single topic; with small focus groups. A fourth meeting will be held with builders and contractors in regard to construction standards for slopes and shorelines. Kate stated that they need color copies of the Town Plan and black and white of the revisions. The bulk of the money will be used for technical review. Kate thinks VLCT would be the best choice for technical review. It would be a recommendation from the Planning Commission to the Selectboard. Kate explained that they have a new computer and now they can go ahead and work on the revisions. Kate stated that we can have these meetings, but until we know more about State action on shoreline protection and slopes, we can only work on definitions and clean up of the data management. There was discussion on how to proceed with revisions. There was discussion on putting things in italics or shaded. Kate has information on flood plain regulations. Kate will send out an outline.
