Beginning with the following meeting on 8/14/06, CPDC meetings will be scheduled to meet in the Selectmen's Meeting Room. Subdivision Regulations RH asked if the new Town Engineer has had time to review the proposed changes to the Subdivision Regulations. CR said he has not yet heard from the new Town Engineer. The Board reviewed the changes. 7.1.5(e) Cul-de-sacs. RH pointed out that the change states: "If an island..." but the Board of Selectmen said they wanted all cul-de-sacs to contain landscape islands. JB said he would not want to preclude the CPDC's ability to decide on the addition of islands to cul-de-sacs. RH said it is under the CPDC purview to waive certain requirements so he would prefer islands be made a requirement of all cul-de-sacs and then the CPDC could consider granting a waiver case-by-case. It was the consensus of the Board to add the following to 7.1.5(e): "If an island is not proposed the applicant shall provide an adequate explanation why not". RH asked when the public hearing for the changes could be scheduled. CR said no earlier than the 8/14/06 meeting.
