Old Business:
Updates:
Reviewed survey questionnaire related to the Town Plan. The PC wants to get resident involvement. Discussion around questions that Linda Brogan had of Kate.
Donna recommended asking the Selectmen for an extension on the Town Plan for another year.
Donna will ask Addison County Regional Planning whether they help with graphs for the Town Plan.
Pete recommended that they start at page one and highlight what needs to be changed in the Town Plan.
Kate asked to leave the questionnaire with her. The Town Plan is on the Addison County Regional Planning web-site. There is a link on our web-site to Addison County Regional Planning.
New Business:
Kate came to discuss a bill pending in the House, H323. This bill, if passed would give the State jurisdiction over a 50’ buffer zone around any body of water. The perception would be that it will have a tremendous impact on property values. There would be a huge amount of grieving of the listing. It would even include things like building a deck, porch, maybe cutting down trees.
Motion by Pete that the PC’s position is that they do not agree with Bill H323. Second by Jeff. All in favor. So approved.
Public Comment:
None
Other Business:
Next meeting
Motion to adjourn by Pete. Second by Jeff. All in favor. So approved.
