NEW BUSINESS:
Ann asked if anyone had any comments. Vaughn asked about property borders and expressed concern about wildlife areas. He said that there were disparities in the maps. It was explained to him that no changes to the maps could be made as they come from the State. The only thing that can be added is a statement. Discussion. It was decided to add a statement to the maps indicating that they may not reflect accurate private property boundaries. Vaughn also expressed his concern about land use. Discussion. It was felt that changes should be considered in the next review of the Town Plan. A change could be in the definition of land uses.
Ann asked if there were any more public comments. She said that the next step going forward is for the Select Board to review the public comments, decide whether to add them or not, and to approve the revisions. Ann asked Marsha (from the Planning Commission) if she had anything to add. Marsha cited her concern over deadlines and that people should be aware of them.
