Intra Board

 

  • Develop checklist; subdivision split
    • T. DeMarree requested that someone look at the Code Book to develop a checklist to use when a subdivision application comes before the Planning Board.  This checklist would be used for consistency and accuracy.  J. Fox volunteered for this process and will email Planning Board members with preliminary information.  This will be reviewed further at the August Planning Board Meeting.

 

  • Discussion regarding NYS Wetlands information found in a local newspaper article.
