MINUTES
PLANNING BOARD
June 5, 2001
PRESENT: Ed Gill (Chair), Pam Blue -Thompson, Jim Boericke, Joel Brinkley, Cathy Carroll,
David Daniel, Chris Quinn, Bryant Warren
PUBLIC: Margaret Hauth
Gill called the meeting to order at 6:32 PM.
ITEM #2: Hauth reported that the Town Board following the Planning Board recommendation
on all the items from public hearing, including denial of the rezoning and approval of
the sidewalk amendments.
ITEM #3: Hauth introduced the Felts subdivision request. She noted that lot was "1" shaped
and required the use of a private road. The members discussed the proposal.
Brinkley suggested that the 12' clearance of vegetation be added to the ordinance so
it doesn't have to be a condition on each approval.
MOTION: Warren moved to recommend approval ofthe subdivision with the condition that the
vegetation along the private road be trimmed to allow easier access for emergency
vehicles. Blue -Thompson seconded.
ITEM #4: Hauth presented the table format comparing the three growth management tools
studied by Aaron Cain. The members asked what the next step was toward adopting
any of the tools. Hauth said the board should prepare a report to the Town Board and
hopefully schedule a joint meeting with them. The members suggested that a memo
be prepared to go with the table and Hauth agreed to prepare one.
ITEM #5: Hauth said the possibility of GIS was getting closer and asked members what types
of maps or information they hoped to get. Members suggested the ability to create a
build -out model (to know how many vacant lot there are), information about
drainage, conforming lot sizes, what areas can be served by our current utilities, and
where road connections might be reasonable.
ITEM #6: Warren moved to approve the minutes as written. Gill seconded.
VOTE: Unanimous.
ITEM #7: The members agreed to hold the July meeting one week early to accommodate the
Independence Day holiday, but kept the September meeting date unchanged.
Gill adjourned the meeting at 7:50 PM.
Respectfully sub itted,
Marg et A. Hauth, Secretary
