5. Jeff Lacy (DCR assistance): Mr. Lacy may attend some future Planning Board meetings as he has fallen out of touch with what’s been going on in Rutland. The Board informed him that the only active subdivisions in Rutland at present are Miliken Brook and McAllister Estates. Brice Lemon is being re-designed. Brintnal is one year away from rescission (temporary easement on Brintnal referenced). Bear Hill II fell through. Board referenced a couple of multi-units, one eighteen unit at Four Corners (Fox Run/Mr. George Lussier) and two building/8 unit condos (James Soucy/Crane Condos).
Mr. Lacy stated that he could offer the Board assistance by looking at the Major Home Occupation By-law which he could re-tool. He could also offer the Board technical assistance, project review from a planning standpoint (zoning or subdivision control related). Discussion ensued to include also looking at perimeters and flag lots.

Discussion ensued. Chairman will write a memo to Anita Carlson granting the Town
Clerk authority to number the streets in Rutland.
- Site Walk or drive by on Demond Pond Row suggestion: Board discussed.
