Rules and Reg’s –  note from Leah Hill, “The Site Plan Review document I gave you at the planning board meeting was the language we wanted if it were to be voted on at town meeting and become part of the Zoning Bylaw as had been discussed previously.  It was motioned at the planning board meeting now to keep the Rules & Regs under planning board control instead of by a town meeting vote, the document we then need to work on is attached.  Sorry about the 2 documents, but before the talk was about them becoming part of zoning, so that is why the document didn’t have an intro, table of contents, or fees”

LC wants the Planning Board to go forward to adopt the R &R’s and vote under 4/5th’s rule.  He feels that that the Board is clear on going forward, since we’ve modernize our Zoning process.  Schedule a meeting to review the cleaned up version and then consult with Leah Hill and Lisa Pearson

 

RS commented that the Rules and Reg’s are suppose to be the Planning Boards “By-Laws” that it is governed by.  The new Reg’s are in more detail than the current R & R’s.  He thought our original plan made in conjunction with the revised SPR by-law was approved by the last Town Meeting, was to keep this detail level flexible by adopting it with a 4/5 vote by the Planning Board, rather than submitting it to a vote of the Town Meeting. He is therefore against submitting them to the Town Meeting.

 

DE agrees with RS that we should adopt R & R’s with 4/5ths vote.

 

RS concurs; we’ve been in accord with Beach Coalition and have made much progress.  They can continue to be involved as much as they want.

 

JC suggest we schedule a workshop to clean up first version before sending the R & R’s  to the Beach Coalition.
