Motion Glabach, seconded by Grossfeld, to approve the minutes of 11/2/09; OK unanimously. Draft Capital Improvement Plan, review and comment: statute requires notice to the PC when a draft CIP is prepared and Selectboard hearing warned. The CIP helps the Town plan strategically for major expenses or investments in infrastructure, based on anticipated needs, and also with regard to timing, so that the tax rate can be kept fairly even. These can be smaller, regular purchases such as replacing police cruisers to much larger expenses such as water or sewer line replacement, or swimming pool/poolhouse rehabilitation or replacement. Questions, suggestions, and comments for the Town Manager and Selectboard included: Other Business Upcoming meeting schedule, and other informational items were discussed. The public hearing for November 30 is all set. A draft Report of the Planning Commission, a formality required by statute, was reviewed and (with one change in the draft), approved unanimously upon a motion by Drunsic, which was seconded by Glabach. For informational purposes, Krohn presented the proposed subdivision plan for MacLean, to be reviewed by the DRB on Wednesday evening. It was suggested that building envelopes, clearing envelopes, and tree cutting restrictions (for ex, cutting no trees larger than 6" DBH outside of the clearing envelopes...) be defined on the final plan. Challenges of enforcement were also discussed. The meeting was then adjourned at 8:30 P.M. Respectfully submitted by Lee Krohn.
