The meeting convened at 7:00 PM.

 

Dana provided a summary of the work-session with Nick Wates.  She indicated that it seemed that those present thought a ‘design statement’ for the whole village may be an appropriate addition to the planning process for the Burns property.  Charles said that this fits into the suggestion Jack Clemmons made at the Planning Commission forum for the village plan, that the village be broken into neighborhoods, and that discussion be held at this level with regard to planning goals.

 

Moe raised the fact that the Town Party is July 12th, and that this would be a good opportunity to get public exposure and feedback.  There was extensive discussion about this.
