Present: Brownson Spencer, Carol Geery, Gale LiCausi, John Colvin, Dick Ley
Public: Bob LaFrancis. Elizabeth Teffner, Theodore Teffner, Steve Bernard
The meeting was called to order at 7:00 pm.
The board conducted a site plan review for a replacement of a pylon by Mt. Mansfield TV
Inc. on an existing tower located on Paul Austin Road on Louella Austin property.
The proposed project will have no impact on the criteria addressed in a site plan and will
only replace at a lesser level. Brownson moved that we waive site visit and grant site
plan approval. Dick Ley seconded. Site plan approved unanimously.
The Board reviewed Wind and Hydro energy section of the Town Plan. The consensus
was that this section appears to indicate that small scale wind projects would be
compatible with the Town Plan while large scale commercial wind projects located on
ridgelines are not encouraged.
Bob LaFrancis presented a definition for building height that he recommended be
included in the zoning ordinances. He also suggested that the board clarify the distance
measurements for setbacks (fascia vs. foundation in the new zoning regs.)
Gale requested that we review the Table of Uses from April 22
nd. Gale will email copy of
this and the definitions and we will then be able to move on the new zoning regulations.
The Board will use the meeting of June 24
th, 2009 to finish up the zoning regulations and
prepare for a public hearing. Next meeting will begin at 6:00 pm. Gale will post time
change.
Respectfully submitted,
Carol Geery
