e. Bob Straubel updated the Board on the SPR
discussion. Some of the Beach Coalition
concerns are that the by-laws and rules and
reg’s are vague. They would like
to see more specific requirements. They
will come back and bring lists giving coalition more latitude. Regulations and wording understandable. Design standards in our regulations are also
vague, which makes it difficult for a developer to understand what the board
wants. Beach Coalition will come back to
the Planning Board with something in writing.
For further SPR discussion, a special meeting has
been scheduled for Tuesday, April 19th at 6 PM at the Salisbury Fire
station in the EOC room.
