see the Committee adopt the grid as a high-level status summary of where the Committee was at.He also
<br /> said that it was a kind of format to pass on the information to the Selectmen,regarding what's happening
<br /> and pending its the Committee.
<br /> Ms. Gurney said that she would be willing to support the grid if individuals would put something
<br /> forth and take the action, given in the language of what they like to use. She asked the members of the
<br /> Committee to send her additional items through e-mail, said that she would fix it up change it a little hit,
<br /> with a column for action iterns,and a column from who}}rade the recommendation, if there was one, and if
<br /> not,who took the action_
<br /> Mr.Miller said, if nothing else,the grid would be a good thing to have on the future web site.
<br /> He said that he was caught off`guard about the article in a local newspaper regarding the DP , said he had
<br /> earlier had lost sight of the commitment that was made. Since the absence of moving forward of the DCPC
<br /> was one of the reasons, if not the primary reason the Blue Ribbon Committee existed. Ile added that he
<br /> should take the timetable regarding the DCPC into account.Now,he said,the Committee has found itself
<br /> potentially in the situation of the Planning Board taking whatever-action seems appropriate on March I",
<br /> without the benefit of the Committee,which was created because of that scenario.
<br /> huckie Green said that when the DCPC was first proposed it was on a parallel level as the
<br /> Planning Board.He said that the Board decided to take action and move forward in the discussion. He said
<br /> The Blue Ribbon Committee and the Planning Board coutd go forward M the DCPC progress in parallel.
<br /> ella Blizenberry said that it was a duplication effort and said that much of the DCPC was in the
<br /> Committee,in her opinion.
<br /> The Chairman said that he agreed with Mr. Greer}concerning parallel paths with the DCPC,,also
<br /> one of the things the Committee focused on as part of the DCPC proposal. He said that the Committee
<br /> world continue to address those items in both the Board and the Committee.
<br /> Ms.Kane was surprised that the Committee was spending so much time comparing the two. She
<br /> said that the Committee had to go through the motions of what was going to be. She said the Committee
<br /> was not going to ignore the similarities between the two, but to address therm. M8, Dane,the Chairman of
<br /> the Planning Board,said that she was not going to discuss what she was going to be saying on her Board, at
<br /> her meeting on March I't,and let her Board members, at that date,to participate in the discussion. She said
<br /> that the Committee had been sending report to the Planning Board,when they met to what is going on in
<br /> the Committee's meetings*whatever the Board members feel about progress or lack of progress,whatever,
<br /> she thought that's going;to be feedback for the Committee and to members of'the Planning Board who were
<br /> also part of the Committee. She said that the Board had been committed six months ago,
<br /> The Chairman recalled the commitment of the Planning Board was valid and if the Board decided
<br /> not to pursue forward at this point,the Committee should be reevaluated.
<br /> ilrfr. Storrs said that the Planning Board would continue to give opportunity to continued respect of
<br /> the Board of Selectmen.
<br /> Ms. Gurney said that as a member of the Planning Board,she realized that when they were putting
<br /> forward the DCPA;,there was still an enormous lack of information on hour the process worked and was
<br /> one of the reasons she voted to delay the ISP . She also said that what this Committee seemed to be doing
<br /> and she did not find it conflicting, at all. She said that what the Committee was doing was more or less
<br /> what they were doing during the moratorium. The significant difference that was poorly understood by the
<br /> public was that the grand fathering issue was one of the biggest benefits of the DCPC. She said that
<br /> somehow you had to have all the Committee's actions done before the Board put the DCPC forward,which
<br /> was not the case. That was what the 12-month}moratorium period was for like the Committee was doing
<br /> now, That it wasnxt a bad thing, she said. She said that she thought the Planning Board had done the right
<br /> thing to say, "we need to see progress."'Because as the members of the Committee were concerned, it
<br /> would be another-committee that would have faded off into the twilight, and that the Board did not want
<br /> that to happen that the Town was too important to too many people,to allow it to happen. As long as there
<br /> is progress made, she thought that the outcome was likely to be very favorable.
<br /> Mr, Green said that the views of the committee were not moving forward,with the action items.
<br /> He said that he got the feeling that.the Committee was ready to say was that we've done all the important
<br /> things,we've talked about what maybe we can do,lets pinpoint the items that we want to take some needed
<br /> action or� let's}neve the agenda.
<br /> Ms. Gumey said that erre thing she wanted to abandon was the separate vision statement,we have
<br /> a perfectly good one,the Comprehensive Plan and that she didn"t want the Committee to spend erre, or two
