PUBLIC COMMENT

 

Steve Brooks asked if it was timely to get another big parcel map and have it laminated.  Mr. McDonald said that the mapping budget for this year had been used already.   Mr. Brooks asked how much a map would cost and Mr. Bloch said it depended what was on it, but probably it would cost in the range of $30.  Mr. Donovan asked if we had data to make an updated map.  Mr. Bloch said that currently the Town has 2001 – 2002 data.  Mr. Troy suggested that the PC set a goal of September 1 to have data together and put this project into next year’s budget.  After discussion, it was recommended that this be tabled for 90 days and the PC asked Mr. Brooks to remind them of it at that time.

 

Mr. McDonald noted the need to nominate a Chair and Vice Chair of the Planning Commission. He said he was willing to continue as Chair.  Mr. Donovan said that he is willing to fill the Vice Chair role.  Linda Radimer moved to nominate Jim Donovan as Vice Chair.  Mr. Troy seconded the motion.  All were in favor and the motion was approved.

 

Mr. Brooks asked about the status of the distribution of documents.  Mr.  McDonald said that it would be put on the next agenda.   Mr. Boroks then asked about an illegal curb cut on Prindle Road.  Mr. Bloch said that there has not been an application for it and Mr. McDonald said that it is not on the agenda.  Mr. Bloch said that he hasn’t seen a Certificate of Occupancy so this matter is still out there. 

 

 

The PC deliberated on the following projects:

 

STEARNS – The PC approved the application with changes. 

 

NEXTEL – The PC deliberated, but did not reach a decision at this meeting.

 

WALDORF SCHOOL – The PC discussed this application.  Mr. Bloch will write up a decision for signature.

 

CHAMPLAIN VALLEY CO-HOUSING – It was decided that there will be a special meeting of the PC on January 30, 2003 at 7:00 p.m. for more deliberation on this application.
