1. Eric Twarog was present from the Southwest Regional Planning Commission (SWRPC) to present the letter of agreement and to discuss the Master Plan schedule. B. Kullgren suggested that item III, #3, which reads “Future Land Use Plan Public Workshop(s): July/August” might be pushed to Sept./Oct. R. Barnhisel wanted to have work sessions during July/August. R. Martin believed the Planning Board might want to do minor work during the summer. S. Fiske asked E. Twarog to elaborate on what this section entailed. He explained the next phase of the Master Plan preparation which uses tax maps, a GIS system, land use analysis, surveys and other material to create an existing land use map. The SWRPC would then create a future land use map which would address the goals and objectives of the Town. They would like input from the Planning Board and the Town as a whole to complete this work. B. Kullgren mentioned items the town would need to discuss for the future land use plan such as zoning, Planned Residential Developments (PRD), strip developments. Bruce Kantner asked if a change to Sept./Oct. would impact the final completion date of the Master Plan. B. Kullgren said the schedule was open to change. E. Twarog said the completion would go into February 2003. R. Barnhisel asked if maps and tightening of basic studies could be worked on in July/Aug. E. Twarog said yes. A. Pickman spoke on digitized tax maps and getting copies to SWRPC. E. Twarog said this would save time. Coral Olson asked if a formal Future Vision talk could be arranged. E. Twarog has outside consultant contact names if the Planning Board wishes to utilize them. B. Kullgren asked E. Twarog to send them to the Planning Board. Discussion followed on the status of the Natural Resources Inventory which the Conservation Commission is working on and adding it at a later time to the Master Plan. B. Kullgren will get any last minute changes to the basic studies to SWRPC for implementation. B. Kantner asked if SWRPC would keep the Planning Board informed of the money being spent. E. Twarog assured the Board he would keep them abreast of the finances spent. B. Kantner asked which Planning Board members would be available during July/August. R. Barnhisel and S. Fiske expressed willingness to be available. R. Barnhisel explained that mapping of the historic homes could be worked on. A. Pickman thought there was multiple criteria for which houses qualify as historic. Discussion followed on SWRPC facilitation of the process vs. Future Vision input the Town may have. Vince Mamone suggested the Planning Board should look at the structure of a Future Vision exercise and analyze the resultant information.

Pickman thought projections were not very accurate. E. Twarog believed the population counts were very accurate. A. Pickman explained that perceived problems are highly affected by economics. Discussion followed on growth potential and related regulations that exist or don’t exist. C. Kieley asked what the process was to implement a growth ordinance or moratorium. E. Twarog explained extreme circumstances were needed to justify a moratorium. B. Kullgren said a capital improvements plan was needed to implement a growth ordinance. B.

2. 8:30 p.m. John Doyle lot line adjustment. Attorney Bob Taft came to present the final drawings which included the changes the Planning Board had requested.

3. 9:00 p.m. The Lukas Foundation Site Plan Review. David Spears explained what was on the drawing and asked the Planning Board what else was needed. He discussed a common well, for 2 residences, which has a limit of 25 people or less and a common septic area which will show on the final plat. He also discussed the installation of a dry hydrant which was already purchased. A. Pickman asked how many parking spaces would be available. D. Spears said parking would show in detail as well as septic locations on the final drawings. Discussion followed on showing location of garages on the final drawings. M. Connolly questioned the calculations of the required open space in relation to the number of units. D. Spears said it was 40% of the total tract after wetland and steep slopes were deducted. D. Spears said the net developable lot is 47 acres. A. Pickman said the total acreage was about 64 acres of which approximately 28 acres was needed for open space. R. Barnhisel asked how big the open space area was. D. Spears said 25 acres. M. Connolly reminded D. Spears to deduct road area from the developable space. D. Spears said 20 acres of the open space is developable. A. Pickman said 20% of the total tract is 25.568 and D. Spears said he had 25.08 which was close to the required amount. Discussion followed on an existing structure (24 x 30 barn) within the open space. T. Petro mentioned taking that area out of the open space. S. Fiske agreed that was a good idea. Discussion followed on recalculating the open space. R. Barnhisel asked about a subdivision being required. A. Pickman explained the Special Exception which was granted allowed the plan but did not require a subdivision as it is a Residential Care Facility. A. Pickman read the Notice of Decision from the ZBA.
