Why did the Planning Board move the PUD forward, when there was so much information that was not reviewed by the board? The final motion to move the ordinance was 4 in favor and 1 opposed. The motion began with discussion of returning the ordinance to the Planning Board<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When the board voted to move the PUD forward the initial discussion Planning Board Member Ryan Ouellette brought up several concerns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\nI think there were a lot of thing that were said tonight that I think were said tonight that were valuable and I know there were two documents, that one gentleman read it out, but there was another document that we didn’t really see and I think there is a lot of data there that, you know, that needs to be reviewed, and that’s just my opinion. I hate to keep pushing this down, and down, and down, but you know with the amount of feedback we got and write ins I don’t know if it makes sense to vote on it tonight – Ryan Ouellette Planning Board Alternate Member<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Vice Chair Art Rugg Responded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nI would agree I think we need to take this back to the planning board for a workshop session because there is certainly some good input and I think collectively it would have a substantial effect and set it up and then have another hearing on this and then send it to the Town Council – Art Rugg Planning Board Vice Chairman<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Planning Board Member Tony DeFrancesco was unsure if it should move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nAh, I mean yah there is stuff, there is stuff here that we could change and there is some stuff that I don’t think is necessary. I think there is some stuff that, that, is is important but it’s already somewhere else it it so it doesn’t have to be here. Does that make sense? So I I don’t know, i don’t know. – Tony DeFrancesco Planning Board Assistant Secretary<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Town Council liaison Shawn Faber<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nIt seams as this is one we had several public hearings that got to this point, I think if we push it out any further they’ll be cries of kicking the can down the road and all that. It this isn’t fully baked it goes to the Council as an opportunity to have an amendment or revision there. Ahm they can look at these comments – Shawn Faber Town Council Town Council Ex-Officio to the Planning Board<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nRyan Oullette asked if these comments would were going to go to the Town Council. Kellie Carron responded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nSo my intention is to, if you move this to council, would be to take the documents that Mr Carson and Deb provided and make sure that I give those to the full council as well so they have time to digest it and then the purpose of there is first reading would be to have that dialog, similar to a work session at the planning board that’s what I envision that first reading to look like and they’ll give the feedback as they see fit at that time. I’m sure they will have other feedback as well and go from there. That that’s how I envision it going if you move it to the council, but that’s just me – Kellie Caron Deputy Town Manager \/ Director of Economic Development<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rugg stated that either way it would accomplished<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anne Chiampa responded<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nI prefer to have another meeting on it, I couldn’t even see on my scree here the corrections – Anne Chiampa Planning Board Member<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
