2. Election of Officers
The committee drafted Peter Evans to continue as chair
3. LAH PV Ordinance Renewal
The committee continued its discussion of a possible recommendation to renew the
development area bonus ordinance. The committee decided not to recommend renewal of
the ordinance primarily in light of the following:
Granting additional development area runs counter to the objective behind
encouraging PV due to the additional energy use
The town can still encourage PV through the Fast Track Guide.
Peter Evans will inquire as to whether the ordinance should simply lapse or whether the
town council should take any action.
4. LAH General Plan Circulation Element
Peter Evans provided a copy of the Complete Streets Act, the legislation underlying the
pending revision of the circulation element of the town’s General Plan
5. Fast Track Guide
Peter Evans agreed to transmit the proposed sustainability goal and elements to town
staff, incorporating the last item, input from the Water Conservation Committee that
reclaiming water from rainwater diffusers does not make sense.
