MISCELLANOUS:
Allen Davis reviewed the requests from Katrina Hill that were presented at the November 6, 2008 Planning Board meeting. Michael read for the board the Site Plan Review Regulations regarding setbacks that were approved at the March 2008 Town Meeting. Both Michael and Peter Urbach, ZBA Member, confirmed that the change as approved by the town has improved the process and they are not aware of any complaints.
A motion was made by Allen Davis to not pursue changing the current setback regulations as approved at the 2008 Town Meeting. The motion was seconded by Derek Tatlock and approved unanimously.
The PB discussed her second request regarding Accessory Apartments and concluded that this could be an item to discuss in 2009.
8:30 PM - Michael asked the board to review the request from Roger to switch the Planning Board meetings from the 1st Thursday to the 2nd Thursday for the purpose of expediting the Site Plan Review process.
After a short discussion, the PB decided not to switch the meeting nights but will continue to be flexible on the 3rd Thursday night if needed.
8:35 PM - the meeting adjourned.
