7:00 PM: W. Ritter called the Planning Board meeting to order.
OPEN SPACE AND RECREATION PLAN: D. Lipka opened by introducing Steve Parker, consultant. He will be working approximately 6 hours per week covering for P. Harding.
The Open Space and Recreation Plan is the 2012 version with introduction. Trish Settles, CMRPC, was interim for the draft.
The Planning Board needs to review the final draft, and then it will get sent along to the Selectmen, CMRPC, and DEP for approval. W. Ritter asked why this plan was created. D. Lipka stated that it was a grant tool, and it was a good idea to keep it up to date. The time-line is the Planning Board, this fiscal year, then Town Meeting, and onto CMRPC. The members were told to email S. Parker, who will answer questions.
Three Board members requested hard copies of the file.
The Board agreed to put the Open Space and Recreation Plan on the agenda for the next meeting, Tuesday, March 13, 2012.
The Master Plan and Open Space and Recreation Plan are companion documents to be read at the same time for review. The statutory review is every 6 years.
Documents presented during review can be viewed in the Town Planners office: Open Space and Recreation Plan, draft.
