152 <br />Meg Millard: I was present at that meeting, and Marilyn Carter was not present. 153 <br /> 154 <br />Beth Bronson: That's correct. 155 <br /> 156 <br />Meg Millard: So that's a change to who was here. 157 <br /> 158 <br />Beth Bronson: And if anybody else has something to change from the minutes I would make a motion to 159 <br />approve the minutes with Meg's adjustments to the attendance record. 160 <br /> 161 <br />Adam Beeman: I second that. 162 <br /> 163 <br />Lamar Proctor: All right. All in favor of approval with that amendment. 164 <br /> 165 <br />MOTION BY Beth Bronson to approve the minutes with amendments. Seconded by Adam Beeman 166 <br /> 167 <br />MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY 168 <br /> 169 <br />Lamar Proctor: All approved, so the meeting minutes have passed, and I don't have any comments, so 170 <br />does anyone have any informational items or anything they'd like to discuss? Nope. Do I 171 <br />have a motion to adjourn? 172 <br /> 173 <br />Beth Bronson: Well, I would just like to thank Adam for his service. I think it's pretty amazing to be a 174 <br />member of the public. For all of us kudos because this is on our time. This is on our 175 <br />ability to, and kudos to the planning staff for working with us as they do and being so 176 <br />helpful and informative and providing trainings and guidance when asked. I think that it is 177 <br />a real testament to that legislative-making process, and I really applaud all of us for 178 <br />participating, so thank you, Adam. 179 <br /> 180 <br />Lamar Proctor: And thank you, Adam, you were, you saw us through some very contentious things that 181 <br />could have easily devolved into chaos. 182 <br /> 183 <br />Beth Bronson: You sure did. 184 <br /> 185 <br />Adam Beeman: Well, I appreciate that, and good luck in the future, and you may see me sitting in the 186 <br />audience now and again. 187 <br /> 188 <br />Beth Bronson: I hope so. 189 <br /> 190 <br />Lamar Proctor: All right. Do I have a motion to adjourn? 191 <br /> 192 <br />Statler Gilfillen: I have one thing. Just a historical issue to bring up, and I had sent an email to Cy. He 193 <br />said say something, so I will. I have a fairly large collection of antique architectural books 194 <br />and technology, and in the back of two of those books, one of them is I believe the oldest 195 <br />formal building code in America, the 1818 Boston Building Code. I have a copy of the 196 <br />web page that I posted. As we are reviewing different documents, and we are trying to 197 <br />approve land use studies, etc., I am reminded of the Boston Building Code in 1818 was 198 <br />six pages long, including addendums, and I think one or two paragraphs talked about the 199 <br />design of fireplaces for cooking of chocolate because they burned a lot of houses down. 200 <br />That building code probably did more to impact the urban framework of any city in 201 <br />11
