FAIRFAX PLANNING COMMISSION                  Wednesday, April 11, 2011

Members Present: G. Heyer, M. Hunziker, R. Wimble

Public Present: Katrina Antonovich, Fairfax Recreation; Skip Taylor, ZA

 

7:05 PM- G. Heyer called the meeting to order.

 

M. Hunziker moved to accept the minutes from the March 20, 2012 meeting; R. Wimble 2nd.  All in favor.

 

Katrina Antonovich discussed with the Board a ‘Fit and Healthy’ grant of $6000 that Fairfax Recreation was just rewarded.  She proposed that the grant be used to add Fit and Healthy language to the current re-write of the Fairfax Town Plan.  Katrina asked the Board to approve allowing Lisa Durocher to peruse the Plan and add the language in the proper places.  The Board agreed.

 

There was discussion regarding the progress of the Vision Committee, proximities of new wells to existing wells, and well-head protection and source protection areas.

 

The Board reviewed Chapters 4 and 5 in the current (2008) Town Plan to identify areas needing update and new/additional language.

 

Individual sections of the Town Plan pertaining to Education, Cemeteries, Public Utilities, the Library, Recreation, etc. will be sent out for update to the various entities, to be returned to the Planning Commission by May 1, 2012.

 

There was additional discussion regarding the open meeting law, properly warning meetings (which are required? – Vision Committee? Town Office Committee?).  Skip will take this issue to the Selectboard.

 

The next meeting of the Planning Commission will be Tuesday, May 1, 2012.  Chapters 6, 7, and 8 of the Town Plan will be reviewed.

 

8:25 PM- R. Wimble moved to adjourn; M. Hunziker 2nd.  All in favor.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Martha Varney, Planning and Zoning Assistant
