The
Selectboard has scheduled a public hearing on the proposed Fairfax Development
Regulations for Monday, January 31, 2011 at 7PM (location to be
determined). S. Taylor explained to the board that within 15 days of the hearing
(when the meeting is warned on January 15, 2011) no changes can be made to the
document.
The Board
reviewed questions on the proposed Fairfax Development Regulations from the
Selectboard and agreed to the following changes:
- on page
3, Sec 2.1a: confused by wording “changing from one type of allowed use to
another”, the PC agreed to change to
“Changing from one type of use to a
different, allowed use.”
- on page
23, in chart under Boundary Adjustment, the footnote noted accompanying ‘Survey
Plat’ needs to be at the bottom of that page rather than the bottom of page
26. PC agreed.
G. Heyer signed a letter to the Northwest
Regional Planning Board thanking them for their assistance over the past three
years in the preparation of the Town’s Plan and Development Regulations.
The
Selectboard has asked the Planning Commission to assist with preparation of the
Capital Budget due this year, primarily to help in editing. A timeline has not yet been announced.
A. Lemieux presented a letter of resignation from the Planning
Commission, effective January 5, 2011. There was discussion of how to attract
new members to the Planning Commission.
The next
PC meeting will be Feb. 1, 2011.

- M.
Hunziker moved to adjourn
the meeting; A. Lemieux 2nd; all in favor.

submitted,
