Review of Planning Commission Meeting
Neela reported on the May meeting:
Basement Ordinance: several loopholes in the wording of the Ordinance were discussed
and changes made, including size of the basement – area more than 1500 sq.ft. will be
considered MFA – and basement v bunker definitions.
The next Planning Commission meeting will be on August 4th and either April or Neela
will be the EDPC representative.
Review of Site Development/ Fast Track meetings
There was one Fast track of interest, May 31, lands of Yong, with Lys in the EDP seat.
The item was removed from the morning’s schedule, pending further investigations, after
objections and intervention from the Society for Historic Preservation, which had learned
the property had been bought from the Stegner family.
Old Business
At the Earth Day Celebrations at Westwind Barn on April 17th April was alone at our
stand. She reported no interest in our work.
At the Town Picnic on June 5th Pat was alone at our stand. She took the names of 2
people who showed an interest and will invite them to attend our next field trip.
On May 26th Pat was present at a meeting called by Mayor Summit of all Town
Committee Chairs to discuss their duties and progress. Those present were made aware of
our personnel problems, and Kathy Evans, Co-Chair of the Community Relations
Committee promised to feed us prospective volunteers. Comments were made on our
common interests and close ties with Pathways and Open Space Committees – perhaps
there was a case for assimilation.
New Business
Neela will submit to Debbie Pedro our proposed Lighting Ordinance. She will make sure
that copies are sent to all those who worked on the report, including Nick Dunckel and
Benoit Schillings.
Meeting adjourned at 6.45 pm
