Discussion of Applications: Ruchinskas indicated that the housing applications were good and complete.
Carr asked that everyone be familiar with all the applications and be prepared for questions at the May
let" meeting.
6. Discussion of DOR rulings on recreation issues
This appears to be a very nebulous area — and other towns have been reading it in different ways.
There was a suggestion to write DOR and get a ruling.
7. Application Deadlines?
Applications should be permanently open — rolling — with deadlines only in reference to being done for an
upcoming town meeting.
8. Brewster Housing Partnership
Hush and Carr met with this group —very productive discussion. There was a proposal for rental units.
It would be nice to have a consultant that was always available for projects/questions.
