Chair called meeting to order at 7:00 PM

Leon discussed the differences between a preliminary plan and a final plan and how they repeat each other and what his interpretation of the mission

Ginny raised the issues of the differences between the preliminary plan and the final plan

Doug talked about what the differences between the two plans are in his opinion. And the need for at least 2 meetings for final approval. He believes the object of the committee is to streamline the process, eliminate duplication as they relate to subdivision rules.

Ginny, Minor subdivision has 28 questions that can be answered
Major subdivision is any parcel divided into 4 or more lots and include subdivision roads.

Doug suggested we work through the changes as we have them and then go back and fix the checklist

Discussion on enforcement and it was decided that enough protection already exists in ordinance to cover- special condition placed on applicants are there to insure compliance and that everything that is proposed or approved is done to satisfaction of the Town.

A Discussion on the old mill and it was determined we need to ask Ray Breton the owner to come in with a plan for his renting up the structure. An invitation will go out to him.
