Minutes of February 9, 2016

MEMBERS PRESENT: Suana Rubin, Marsha Hopkins, Sarah Gray and Jennifer Howard. Guests - Emily Jarecki from Pittsfield, MB Neisner PC from Killington and Joel Rhodes from Sun Common.
​
1. The meeting was called to order at 6:30pm at the Town Office.
2. Agenda Modifications –
  • Letter from Two Rivers informing Pittsfield they were about to update their regional plan. They did not foresee any updates in the land use section for Pittsfield since our plan and their current plan are in sync with state mandates.
  • New member – Emily Jarecki has volunteered to join the Planning Commission and will notify the select board in writing that she is interested so they can proceed to get her appointed at town meeting.
3. The minutes from the December 8, 2015 meeting were read. Sarah made a motion to approve, seconded by Suana.
4. Correspondence – None
5. Guests –
  • MB Neisner – attended representing CV Oil in the possible purchase of the Baker property for use as a fuel farm. MB had read the town plan and did not readily see any conflicts but wanted to get our opinion before moving forward with his clients. The Commission was in agreement that the Martin’s would be considerate in their planning and that the project fell within the light industrial confines of the plan with no conflict. The only potential conflict could come at an Act 250 hearing where noise, smell and sight concerns could come from abutters. Sarah expressed some concern over that part of town becoming an industrial as Colton Firewood is already there.
  • Joel Rhodes – attended to represent Sun Common, a solar energy company. He briefed the commission on the company and potential residential solar and community solar opportunities available. He hoped the commission could pass on contact information for potential customers. The commission said they would relay his information to one particular party whose land might be a good potential site for a community solar project and that after his open forum at the Wild Fern, Pittsfield might consider holding their own forum.
6. PC Plan for the Future
The commission discussed the energy segment some more as it related to solar. Sarah suggested if we do an informative event, we give Sun Common’s competitors a chance to make a presentation as well. The rest of the matrix was tabled until the next meeting.
7. Comments – None
8. Adjournment-

The next meeting is scheduled for April 12, 2016, meeting adjourned at 7:40pm.

Respectfully Submitted,
Marsha Hopkins
Secretary
​
The Minutes of the February 9, 2016, meeting were duly approved on April 12, 2016.
​Signed: Suana Rubin
