PRESENTATIONS FROM THE FLOOR related to the MPP Update:
• Dot S: Pinewood School comes before Planning Commission this Thursday (5/13). Staff has
recommended denying their request for use of artificial turf (new to the town). Re our path
recommendations: 1) cannot get Proscriptive easements on school property and 2) Pinewood
cannot legally grant path use. The PC generally felt that the school should not be penalized for
what they have no control over. DM was concerned that if not allowed the turf, Pinewood may
decide to gate the path. NE suggested keeping our April 26th recommendation; said that the
Pathway Committee was doing its job; knowing that Planning Commission may overrule it. CV
noted that the negotiation was done in good faith. Dot feels it important to read the Staff Report
before attending the meeting. NE and GS will attend Planning Thursday.
• CV: the goal for public hearings has been changed to the end of August/September. Although we
cannot get everything done by June 21st, it will remain our goal. CV reported that Carl Cahill
Eric confirmed that 2 members’ appointments were up in July. Postponing the joint
Pathway/Planning meeting until after that, maintaining continuity throughout the MPP Update
process.
• NE brought food and drink. They were much appreciated.
