2. Opinions Newsletter for February 2015 received and Don will review.
Old Business
1. The Planning Commission discussed the Tiny Homes project proposed for Forsha Road as it relates to the town plan. The area in which the developer wishes to build is deemed residential and would not support a commercial venture. The Commission finds that the septic issues are of more concern and would require a public water system. Hawk was unable to support the regulations for such a system and it had to be dismantled. At this point in time the project has to go through Act 250 Review.
2. TRORC – FY2017 Transportation Capital Projects Prioritization draft was received. They are soliciting comments until 3/10/15. These are projects slated for 2017 and the only one related to Pittsfield is the bridge on Route 100 at the end of Lower Michigan Road. No action required.
New Business
1. The Library is sponsoring the Pittsfield Blood Drive scheduled for April 30, 2015 from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. and they are requesting to reserve the Town Hall. Don will add to the calendar. Erica Hurd in the contact for the Library.
2. Casa Bella Inn and Restaurant has applied to renew their Liquor License and Outside Consumption Permit. Jerry motioned to approve both the liquor license and the outside consumption permit. Don seconded. Motion carried.
3. Patty asked if there is anything the Board needs for Town Meeting. Information to hand out on trash collection and recycling was requested. Patty will contact Jon Benson. No other requests were made.
Other
1. Don commented that the snow from the plow makes clearing the entrances to the town buildings difficult.
