They do not want to see a lot of farm land being taken by housing. The Plan should be reviewed every 5 years. Site Plan Review Law still needs approval on the changes from the May Planning Board meeting, “Suggested changes under Article II, Applicability, Exemptions, and Review Standards – Section 2.1 Application to Land and Projects – A. 1. Construction of any large structure (10,000 square feet or more) should be changed to (5,000 square feet or m ore). This would require a review of the project.” Alan Teeter reported that in the near future he may be subdividing some of his land. The Planning Board needs to check for training through the Association of Towns. Ann Chaffee made a motion and seconded by Steve Givin to adjourn the meeting. Meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Sue Thompson, Recording Secretary
