Introductions were made. Motion by Jeff and second by Sue to approve minutes of January 29, 2013 as written. All in favor. So approved. Donna went to ACRP and got examples of overlays. They gave her examples of what Monkton is looking at doing to give us an idea of elevation and slopes. ACRP is willing to help us. They also gave her color coded elevations for Leicester. Kate gave background of land use map and elevations to new members. Parts have no elevation issues and some are fairly steep. ACRP is recommending overlays. You keep the same zoning maps, but you identify areas and the overlays show where the areas are. They are color coded.
