Meeting Minutes - November 08, 2017
Attendees, Peter Pescatore, Tom Callahan, Eric Eisenhauer, Katie Holden, Lisey Good and Jennifer
McCarthy.
Call to Order at 7 PM:
Peter asked for a motion to approve 10/25 meeting minutes:
Tom moved and Lisey 2nd. Approved 2 - 0 - 3.
Peter asked the committee to consider how we should go forward with the update of the 2010
plan since we have an updated OSRP from B&T with their updates and the committee's input up to
9/29/17. The committee has continued to make updates to a separate OSPR, the working file,
after submitting the draft to B&T on 9/29, causing us to be out of sync with the B&T version. After
discussion it was agreed that we will freeze all updates to the working document as of the last
meeting date, 10/25 and send that version to B&T to create another updated version and return
that to the committee. Once received that document will be the Master Copy of the revised plan
for the committee and B&T. All updates from the committee will be held in a pending account
until such time as we receive the B&T revision.
All members will review their data requests from all resources to identify outstanding requests
and do follow up. All members will also continue to review the remaining sections of the plan to
identify action items and additional updates. Eric informed the committee that he will not be
available to attend meetings through December 2017.
Peter is attending a joint meeting on Thursday of the Master Plan, Open Space and Harbor
Committees to discuss which population forecast numbers should be recommended for use in all 3
planning documents. Tom Callahan asked that Peter recommend that the preamble/introduction
to the town in all 3 documents be consistent as well.
Katie has identified non-tax base town parcels that have wildlife restrictions and recently acquired
town parcels that were not clear to her and she will continue to research and report back on these
items.
It was noted that the Yacht Club &The Sailing Club should be included in the recreation section.
Since we will be working from the next revision of the plan, when provided, the next meeting date
will be determined by the receipt of said revision.
Tom moved to adjourn, Lisey 2nd-Approved 5-0
Meeting adjourned at 8 PM.
Respectfully submitted,
Peter Pescatore
