Special PB Meeting – 5/11/15

Meeting called to order at 7:05. All members present except for Dave K.

Previous meeting minutes were approved – motion made by Tom, second by
Rich.

The purpose of our meeting was to review progress on zoning and subdivision
code with Barbara Johnston. Minor changes or additions were discussed and
incorporated into proposed code as follows:

                Art. III, Section
8 of Subdivision Code – Section 281 changed to 278 and language changes in A,
Request By Subdivider or Requirement by
Planning Board.

                Cluster
Subdivision – 313C changed “underlying” to “applicable.”

                We need to add
definition of “Cluster Subdivision” to Zoning and Subdivision Codes.

                It was also
suggested that we need to add a definition for “trash” in the Zoning Code.

                Art. IV, Sect. 8
(being added to Subdivision Code) F. 1. Removed “common” from open space and
moved pedestrian access to H. 2.
