2 <br />Lee Rafalow felt that the Open House was good for answering questions but did not <br />allow the community an opportunity to provide input. He suggested creating an opportunity <br />for citizen input into the process. <br />Judd Edeburn suggested creating a summary of proposed concepts, mailing that <br />summary to residents and requesting feedback from them. <br />Irene VanDyke felt that the purpose of the Small Area Plan Newsletters was to inform <br />the community. She did not feel that another mailing was necessary. <br />Verla Insko mentioned that the intent of these suggestions seemed to be to make <br />certain that this group has the support of the overall community. <br />She felt that notifying the community of the upcoming public hearing on May 28 along with <br />listing the names and phone numbers of members of this group who attended the Open <br />House could address Lee's concerns. Residents could be encouraged to call members of <br />the Work Group and /or Gene Bell to have their questions answered and comments <br />incorporated into the Groups outcome. <br />There was consensus that the next Newsletter will include a cover sheet with meeting <br />dates and meeting information. The Newsletter will indicate that an additional packet of <br />information is available upon request. <br />Bob Hall will contact the Tax Office to create a mailing list for landowners with over 10 <br />acres of land. <br />ADJUSTMENTS TO LAND USE INTENSITIES ON MAP: <br />Gene Bell discussed the adjustments to Land Use Intensities on the Concept Plan and <br />suggested that the Preliminary Design Group could this review prior to official acceptance. <br />Verla Insko mention that there are restrictions on the flood plain. She asked if there <br />were restrictions on wildlife corridors. <br />Gene Bell stated that there were not specific restrictions on the wildlife corridors but <br />there were other restrictions. <br />Lee Rafalow suggested letting the Preliminary Design Group review and requested <br />that they consider changing the green area to yellow and make it a different shade of yellow. <br />He suggested that the same incentives apply to both of those areas. He also mentioned that <br />the scenic corridor is not on the map but it should be defined. The area that is east of the <br />Creek and North of Hwy 10 should be low intensity. <br />There was consensus that it is important to follow property lines. <br />Verla Insko mentioned that this needs to be presented to the Planning Board on April <br />15th. She asked which map would be presented to the Planning Board <br />Gene Bell said that both maps will be shown to the Planning Board <br />A:ltaskforcelapr496a.min 2 <br />
