He noted that it is a report on <br /> transportation items that could be placed on the August agenda. Collins <br /> recommended that the July 8 Long Range meeting be canceled. The Board <br /> agreed. <br /> Barrows asked about an appropriate time for discussion with the <br /> Commissioners regarding the Planning Board's concerns with stubouts. <br /> Collins responded that the Planning Staff will be dealing with the stubout <br /> issue in the form of ordinance proposals. The Board has asked the Staff to <br /> review this,particularly in relation to pedestrian and bikeway linkages.The <br /> road access linkages are part of the same issue. So,the issue will be <br /> brought to the Planning Board through the ordinance amendment process. <br /> Collins continued that the Planning Board could have a work session with <br /> the Commissioners and others,such as EMS and school bus personnel,to <br /> discuss issues and concerns regarding stubouts. In response to a question <br /> about policy interpretation,Collins stated that there was a lot of room for <br /> interpretation and there are valid arguments for many of the issues. <br /> Barrows informed the Board that neither she,nor Vice-Chair Katz would be <br /> able to attend the August 6 Planning Board meeting. Further discussion <br /> indicated that a quorum would not be available for the August 6 meeting so <br /> that meeting was rescheduled to July 30. <br /> Meeting adjourned 10:30 p.m. <br /> Prepared By <br /> Approved By <br /> Date <br />
