Agenda & Discussion
(1) Natural and Cultural Resources
Members of the Historical Commission were present at the meeting and provided their inputs to
this section. Discussion focused around some philosophical and conceptual issues that will
shape the goals, objectives and ultimate decisions the town must make as it grapples with growth
and transition. Susan DeMatteo was not present at the meeting, and the comments the committee
made at the last meeting had yet to be incorporated into this section.
(2) Open Space and Recreation
The Town actually maintains a separate open space and recreation plan. Chris Reilly took the
action to take the existing plan and create the associated MPAC section for Open Space and
Recreation by pulling out the relevant information, analysis and goals and objectives.
(3) Implementation and other Discussion
John Sasso provided his input to the committee for the steps needed to complete the first draft of
the MP. These steps are outlined in a memo that was provided to the committee prior to the
meeting. However, before we can begin this process, the committee felt it was important to
perform an additional review of the remaining sections that still require updating. These include
the two discussed above, plus the Services and Facilities section. These three will be the topic of
discussion for our next meeting. In the meantime, Chris Reilly has requested that all other
sections be provided to him electronically to ensure the most current copy is posted on the
planning website.
