Ms. Wilson said she could follow up with <br />the Town Engineer. <br />Mr. Tuttle moved the CPDC to approve the lot release confirmation of lot 15 of the Kurchian <br />Lane subdivision. Mr. Weston seconded and the motion carried 5 -0 -0. <br />Local Enemy Action Plan (LEAP) <br />Ms. Wilson told the CPDC that MAPC had prepared a draft plan under the Local Energy Action <br />program (LEAP). She reminded the Board that Reading had applied to the LEAP program for a grant, <br />jointly with RMLD and the other RMLD Communities. The draft plan outlines recommended energy <br />use reduction priorities for RMLD and Reading as well as the other Communities. The Plan will also be <br />presented to the Board of Selectmen and MAPC would like to request the CPDC endorse the draft plan. <br />Ms. Helen Aki, Program Coordinator with MAPC, told the CPDC that some of the proposed strategies <br />contained within the plan are already underway with RMLD. They have a lot of residential programs <br />and the plan attempts to find ways that the Towns can leverage those programs. The Climate Action <br />Advisory Committee has provided a lot of feedback for the Town and Reading has been something of a <br />model for the other Towns. <br />Page 1 of 4 <br />
