trees and so forth than us just sitting around guessing. It seemed to me maybe that would be <br /> an appropriate endeavor. <br /> And my second question is for Michael. Michael, what kind of uses, just in general, can <br /> be made on land that's zoned rural buffer/RB? <br /> Michael Harvey: From a permitted use standpoint obviously you have single family residential <br /> land uses. There are several uses allowed through the issuance of a special use permit. We <br /> are talking about one obviously. Schools. Per the code you can have a Class 2 kennel with the <br /> issuance of a Class B special use permit. You can have a church, developed as a permitted use <br /> of property, going through administrative site plan review and approval. You can have any <br /> myriad of government uses as permitted uses of property. And you can have a farm operation, <br /> which is not regulated by local zoning, because state law says we can't regulate them. So, <br /> there are myriad of different uses. <br /> Lisa Stuckey: And some of those uses might disrupt the view? <br /> Michael Harvey: Yes ma'am. <br /> Andrea Rohrbacher: I'm Andrea Rohrbacher, a planning board member, and I don't know who <br /> this question would go to. But, the current meadow as it exists now; what is the maintenance <br /> that is provided for that meadow in the way of mowing and upkeep? <br /> Bob Thomas: The hay has been taken off of that field for all of the years that we have lived <br /> here. <br /> Pete Hallenbeck: Okay, so the answer to the question of how is the field is currently mowed is; <br /> the field is in hay that is harvested. <br /> Bob Thomas: Currently, in the last year or two years. It's been —the hay has been taken off <br /> all of the years we have lived there. This last year, except— last year or two years? Right now <br /> it's growing up. It hasn't been hayed this year. <br /> Barry Katz: You all know Bob Strayhorn. Bob Strayhorn uses that field -that hay off of that - to <br /> feed his bulls. Now Bob has been sick, so he's had friends of his getting together and mowing <br /> that field when they can. It's been Strayhorn's hay for many years, but before that it was corn <br /> and it was real agricultural crop. <br /> Pete Hallenbeck: Okay, so the field has been in hay. Little disruption, but people are cutting it. <br /> Barry Katz: Oh yes. <br /> Pete Hallenbeck: Okay, thank you . Alright, we have some people who have signed in to <br /> make a comment for three minutes. I'll read out the names that I have signed down here, and if <br /> you wish to comment, come on up. If you are happy with what you've heard and don't want to <br /> comment, that's okay too. First name I have on the list is Chris Chinchar. <br /> Pete Hallenbeck: Does she need to be sworn in, or if it's public - <br /> Chris Chinchar: I was sworn in. Hi, my name is Chris Chinchar, and I have been sworn in. <br /> Thank you for being here tonight and especially so late. My partner Pam Lindroos and I bought <br />
