Subject: New site plan regulations
 
Hi all,
 
I have been thinking about next steps in terms of getting the new site plan 
regulations moving and would like to propose the following:
 
      By this Friday at the latest, an so well prior to the next meeting, 
Michael sends to the Board all of the comments that Robin and I have 
prepared.  Robin will get them to you, Michael, tomorrow.  Also, Ann 
Welsh will send you a letter with some concerns/proposals from the 
Conservation Commission and those need to get to the Board as soon as 
you receive them and you might receive something from John Parry as 
well which will need to go out.  
     At the meeting on January 28, the Board takes time to discuss and 
make any necessary changes and then schedules a public hearing for the 
next meeting.  
     After the public hearing the Board either adopts the regulations as 
amended or, if a great deal of information is received from the public, the 
changes are made and sent to the Board so that the regs can be adopted 
at the second meeting in February, AT THE LATEST.  
 
If we don't act on these changes soon, there will be little reason to do 
anything because the big developments that are of concern to the town 
will have already been submitted and will not have to comply with the new 
regs.  Granted, we can place a lot of conditions on the developers, but the 
process will be a lot cleaner, have a lot more weight and be more 
transparent if the new regs are in place. Let me know what you think and 
thanks.
 
Kathy
