MEMBERS PRESENT: G. Heyer, M. Hunziker, A.
Lemieux, R. Wimble
Public Present: S. Taylor, Dean Potter
The meeting was called to
order by G. Heyer at 7:30PM. The minutes from May 16, 2006 were reviewed. A.
Lemieux made a motion to accept the minutes from May 16, 2006. R. Wimble second.
All in favor.
Discussion centered on a
request from a local church to allow places of worship in more districts of
town, due to the lack of available large tracts of land at an affordable
price. The Planning Commission did not
want to rush into a decision that would affect the whole town, and would
consider changing permitted or conditional uses when the Town Plan is re-done.
Dean Potter, Fire Chief
joined the meeting. He expressed his
concerns on the heights of buildings and on driveway widths and lengths.
Members of the Selectboard
will attend the Planning Commission meeting on June 20, 2006 to discuss their
recommendations for changes. The
members of the Planning Commission are concerned that the current Sewer and
Water Ordinances are working against the current Bylaws, especially in the
Growth Center where Professional Services and Businesses are encouraged.
Requiring a Zoning Permit to
finish space over a garage on in a basement was discussed. It was determined that no change will be
made at this time.
S. Taylor had written a memo
to summarize his meeting with Bill Rose from NRPC. This was reviewed and each point discussed. The recommendations on clarifying roads in
regards to through traffic verses dead-end roads will need more review.
9:00 A.Lemieux made a motion to adjourn. M. Hunziker second. All
in favor.
Respectfully Submitted,
Cathy Raymond, Planning and
Zoning Assistant
