Zonine Bylaw Uodate Work Session: Definitions, R4 -Codification, Dover Amendment Ms. Gemme questioned if the "Table of Contents" that was forwarded to her was approved by the Commission. After a discussion, it was decided that a formal vote was not done, but an agreement was reached on the "Table of Contents ". The location of "Administration" was questioned and discussed by the Commission. Mr. Weston stated the "Table of Contents" could be reviewed at a later date to make sure it makes sense. Re-C4ulifcation It was asked by Mr. Salina the spelling of the word "re- codification" be consistent. It can be spelled with or without the hyphen. Ms. Wilson questioned if the warrant is written correctly. Ms. Gemme stated it is just the article, no information. The warrant report will have the full content on the warrant. The Commission discussed with Ms. Gemme how the warrant should be written for the m- codification changes. They also talked about the presentation at the Town Meeting. It was suggested the presentation walk through the zoning changes and then re- codification, showing the changes in red. Another suggestion was to put "reorganization" beside "re- codification" to help simplify the meaning. Ms. Gemme stated the articles should be written in the format of the current bylaw. She reminded the Commission that nothing is official until it comes back from the Attorney General's office. She reviewed what documents she will be sending to the AG's office. Ms. Wilson let the Commission know she received the Johnson Wood changes. There is a separate overlay - PUD RC; this is a change to the map. She stated she sent it to Town Counsel for review and there is a Public Hearing scheduled. Pagel of 3
