The meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m.
A final draft was reviewed and the following changes were requested.
1. |
Many of the appendices are fuzzy, the clarity should be improved. |
2. |
Maps should be converted to 11x17 to improve readability. |
3. |
The reference to accessory apartments on the map in Section 1 should be removed, this recommendation was eliminated from the plan. |
4. |
The teen center reference was combined to include recreation and teen center. |
5. |
It is difficult to differentiate the yellows in the zoning map, different colors should be used. |
The Committee requested redlined versions to ensure corrections were made.
The table of contents will require updating after all corrections are made. E. Benoit update information to account for the approved public safety facility.
J. Giotta asked why a formal letter was not written to the Town Manager reflecting a vote of disappointed with the Consultants taken at the November 27th, meeting. This information was relayed to the Town Manager in an e-mail and verbally but a formal letter was not sent. It was felt that this should be done at the completion of the plan and that sending such a letter now would have a negative impact. It was also stated that not everyone was disappointed with the entire team and one person was definitely lacking.
Each Committee member was assigned 20 pages to proof read grammatical content only.
Final edits from committee members are due on April 22, the edits will be incorporated into the document by April 29th and the Committee will meet on May 8 to review changes.
The meeting was adjourned at 8:30p.m.
