Priorities
An examination of the priorities list included discussion of water in downtown; a meeting of the Non-Resident Taxpayers that will be held July 16, 2006 at the Senior Center; a Route 6 Overlay District that Ben Gitlow and Barbara Gray have been developing; wind and cell towers; use of the Marconi “airstrip” parcel and other properties inside the National Seashore.
Parent moved to put access to land in National Seashore and land swaps on the PB priority list. Stephen Oliver seconded the motion. Parent said this was a good time to talk to the Seashore. Gitlow said there was a concern about Ocean View Drive itself eroding. There was a consensus that PB should take these concerns under consideration.
Ben Gitlow asked about the storage facility on Rte. 6 that has stalled. Rex Peterson said that the present owner said an endangered species, broom crowberry, had been found on the property.
The Board decided to take water issues and Central District boundaries off the priorities list. Gray and Gitlow will redraft the Rte. 6 Overlay District proposal. Parent suggested that Cluster Development (Smart Growth) be added to the priorities list.
O’Connell initiated a discussion about use of Variances and Special Permits for non-conforming structures and properties. O’Connell’s concern was that a property should not become more non-conforming than it is. O’Connell said he would seek more information on the non-conformity issue.
Gray moved to close discussion of the Priorities List, and all were in agreement.
