Mr. Murphy addressed the landscape buffer and the fence issues in detail. He continued that the Himmeltiches want this matter resolved in an amicable way. Mr. Murphy said that the Commission has to say "No" to Mr. MacDonald and that he should come up with a better plan, especially the addition of the wooden fence going through the natural vegetation.

Mayor Orthwein stated that he would receive a response within a reasonable length of time, and inquired regarding his availability over the summer.

Mr. Pike discussed his meeting with Mr. Wietsma and the Himmeltiches the previous day. He stated he understood the difficulty with the last minute changes made by his client. Mr. Pike addressed the phrase "adversely affected ". He felt the conflicts will be resolved. Town Manager Thrasher inquired as to the exact directions of the drainage pipes.

He also said that he would not wish to see this issue finally settled with only three (3) Commissioners. Mrs. Himmelrich requested a deferment until the full Commission is present which would be in August.
