Question and comments from the public present:
Andy Minnig asked what the date of the Public Hearing will be for the Draft Local Land Use Law? The Public Hearing will be June 16 @ 7:00PM.

Richard Page asked if the Board will be voting on the Final Land Use Law. He feels the Board will be making a big mistake if they pass this law. Mr. Page also stated he felt like the token farmer on the Land Use Committee. He felt a lack of respect.

Matt Utter feels the plan is premature. There is no agriculture assessment. The Board will not be doing Justice for the Town. Gas and mineral rights have not been addressed. The Board has not come to the big land owners in Town and spoken to them to get their opinions. There is more wrong with the plan. Where was Nan Stolzenburg approved as the Town Planner?

There being no further business a motion is made by Councilperson Cornwell to adjourn the meeting, seconded by Councilperson Horvath meeting adjourned at 7:45PM.

Respectfully submitted,
Mary Beth Flint, Town Clerk
