Conservation Maps
Van Webb presented the first draft maps from UVLSRPC to be reviewed by the Board.
There will be 11”X17” color maps to be included in the Master Plan. The Natural Resources package will be about 14 pages. Rachel Ruppel of the UVLSRPC has asked that the Board review the maps for any addition or corrections (See attachment to official minutes).
Several items were noted and Tim Fleury made a list to have corrections made. Some of the items noted were to have town boundaries clearly defined, additions and deletions of street names, spellings, definitions, and legend areas on the maps.
Michael advised that existing and future land use maps will also be done. Van will bring a set of corrected maps and narrative for the Natural Resources Inventory back to the Board in the fall for review. He noted that the maps will also be available in PDF form. Michael stated that the Board needs to come up with some rules to go with them.
NEXT MEETING:
The next meeting will focus on transportation and community facilities. Peggy noted that they should look at some type of planning for a future community center as a lot of people have expressed it is needed. Board members also would like to have Donna Gazelle come in regarding the Beautification Committee’s plans for the intersection of Route 11 and Main St.
Bruce reported that he attended a meeting of the Library Building Committee. The architect stated that the town can apply for an urban exemption from the Shoreline Protection Act. Based on the history of the Village District He suggested that the Planning Board address pedestrian walkways down through the village and how the Shoreline Protection Act influences them. Peter stated they can look at the Village District and where the Sugar River flows through, do an overlay. This area could be thrown more into local control if they can prove it historically. This allows towns to have more control of how it is developed based on the history of the area. Michael advised that there has to be a recommendation in the Land Use plan. The Village District may have to be identified as 3
different district areas.
