OLD BUSINESS
 
Working Session on Zoning Regulation Revisions
 
The Board picked up where they left off from the September 30th meeting and continued working through the document.
 
There was discussion about the difference between a Zoning Board, Planning Commission and a DRB. Diane commented that if the Board felt a DRB board was something they wanted to contemplate for the future; she would advocate inviting Jim Carroll to speak to a joint meeting of this board and the Selectboard about the advantages and/or disadvantages to the Town. There is a statutory process to go through to switch to a DRB. Donna S. thought that in the past that ACRP gave a reason to not become a DRB.
 
OTHER BUSINESS - None
 
PUBLIC COMMENT – None
 
Motion by Jeff and second by Peter to adjourn at 7:40 p.m. to go into ZBA meeting.
 
Respectfully submitted,
 
Sandra L. Trombley, PC Secretary
