1. Discussion of Plan of Conservation and Development Draft
Tulis passed out copies of the first two sections of the PoCD. Tulis said the sections concerned evaluating property with respect to development. He said that he and CHA came up with a “rating” for each parcel of land greater than three acres in size, based on various resources. Tulis said the “ratings” are only recommendations and are not part of any regulations. St. Louis said that build-out analyses show what’s left for land. Tulis said that specific recommendations are near the end of the document. Tulis said the PoCD will continue to be on the agenda until discussion is completed.
