OTHER BUSINESS

Continuation of our discussion preliminary plating vs., final plating of property. Jim explained to us that there is no reason for us to be in on that phase of planning. The committee had many questions. The committee feels that our input to the early planning phase of plating subdivisions could avoid some of the problems we have to confront after the fact.

Continuation of our discussion of preparing a Conservancy/Scenic Corridor packet or brochure for the residents.

The committee would like to meet with the Plan Commission and the Zoning Board of Appeals to review with them what our ordinance requires. The topics we would like to share with them would include the following:

1. Reasons for Conservancy- Kathy Wiberg

2. Types of Conservancy - Ellen Deasy

3. Compliance with the requirements of CSC and development of PUD- Bob Borg

4. Responsibility of CSC - Lee Bassett

5. How we process an application - Warren Schmitt

Each member of the Committee will prepare a brief outline for the next meeting.
