Chilmark Planning Board Subcommittee Meeting
Monday, March 11, 2019
Present: Janet Weidner, Chair, Peter Cook, Catherine Thompson
Not Present:
Public: Ann Wallace, Clark Goff
Staff: Jennifer L. Christy
Meeting called to order at 3:03PM:
- Peaked Hill Pastures Site Discussion:
- The subcommittee members discussed with Ann Wallace about the information that was provided at the Healthy Aging MV Aging Forum: Housing Options Forum for Elders”.
- The subcommittee also discussed the changes that Ms. Weidner made to the Thompson considerations for the Master Planning of Peaked Hill Pastures site. The Town’s capital planning was discussed and it was asked if Ms. Christy would inquire as to whether the capital planning committee has a plan and if that plan is available.
- Ms. Weidner asked what the sequence of actions might be. Would the Planning Board, she asked, place the question of whether the Town is interested in a plan for rental properties or a Nab’s Corner-like option, for example, in front of the townspeople before working with a consultant to develop a plan further.
- Ms. Weidner further stated that the Planning Board should go before the Board of Selectmen before much more time passes. She noted three ideas: a plan such as that presented by the Board of Selectmen in January 2018 that presents a maximum amount of housing sites, a rental/ownership arrangement like at West Tisbury’s Scott’s Grove or a purely rental arrangement.
- More discussion occurred regarding the pros and cons of each of the options.
- Ms. Weidner stated that the next steps should be to finish the planning document and and then have an early April meeting that includes the Housing Committee. Then, she stated, the plan would be to go to the Board of Selectmen to present the findings.
- Ms. Thompson stated she would put together demographic information for inclusion in the planning document.
- It was decided that Ms. Thompson, Mr. Cook and Ms. Wallace would meet at 10:30AM on Thursday, March 14th to discuss and create a chart of the options.
Meeting adjourned: 3:55PM
Minutes respectfully submitted by Jennifer L. Christy
