Review and Consideration of Minutes
Minutes of September 27, 2016 were accepted with the correction of removing Mark Keith as present.
CIP: Michael James is in the process of seeing if we are too late to get the CIP approved this year or if we will just use last years and start working on the CIP for next year. The Planning Board secretary will send a copy of the current CIP that was developed last year to all the Board members for their review and to discuss t the next meeting.
Master Plan: Mike Tardiff was supposed to be at tonight’s meeting but he did not show, he was going to talk to the Board about the different options for putting together the Master plan. Claire will reach out to him to see if he can attend the next Planning Board meeting on October 25th at 7:00. Mike did suggest to Claire that the Board start putting together the Transportation chapter. According to Mike Tardiff the total cost over two years to complete the Master plan will be around $10,000.00. The Board feels it would be best to ask for $5,000.00 the first year and then the other $5,000.00 the next year so it is not such a big chunk from the budget all at once and because it is going to take two years anyways, why not expand the request over that time.
Sing Ordinance: The sub-committee met last Sunday to go over their final draft. They would like to talk to the Bradford Business Association, but first the Board would like to have the sub-committee present to the Board before presenting to the BBA, so Pam will present to the Board on October 25th. Carol will contact the BBA to see when they will be able to go and present the draft of the new Sign Ordinance.
Voluntary Merger: Map 17. Lots 31&32: The Board reviewed the application and approved the voluntary merger. Vote was 4-0 and Garret abstained as it was his sister presenting the application.
Sweet Beet Farm Stand Map16/Lot105: Garret presented the application and the Board informed Garret that the application was incomplete and that he will have to bring a completed application to the next meeting. Garret is also currently looking into the sign ordinance to see if they will be able to keep the current sign for the Bradford Inn, and just change the name on the sign.
To Do Folder:
- G&A Letter: Erich read the letter from Amy Fortune stating her concerns with how the last meeting went in regards to her business at G&A. The Board decided to send a letter to Amy in response to her letter. The secretary will draft a letter and send it to Erich for his review and additions.
The next Planning Board meeting is scheduled for Tuesday October 25, 2016 at 7:00pm at BACC.
Meeting adjourned at 9:02PM
