narrowed down. Mr. Lehrer added that this plan is extremely lengthy. He felt that every chapter <br /> should be reviewed and consolidated and that a consultant could be helpful by assisting in <br /> updating format, maps and data. The document needs to be consolidated so that it is not as <br /> intimidating and will be useful and accessible. <br /> Ms. Waygan felt that one chapter that should be reviewed and perhaps enhanced is the chapter <br /> regarding historic resources. She felt that the material currently in the plan is really good and <br /> that the area that needs to be condensed and updated is the Open Space Plan. Ms. Waygan added <br /> that the chapter on municipal facilities needs to be completely redone. She suggested the Board <br /> go chapter by chapter and decide what needs to be rewritten and what needs to be consolidated. <br /> Mr. Lehrer commented that he feels that the content of the plan as it exists is of high quality <br /> however the real issues with it are in the areas of formatting and the length of the document. He <br /> then elaborated that when the Board engages with a consultant,the goal should be to review the <br /> content and the document will need to be in a new format—one that is more condensed and <br /> legible. Mr. Hanson stated that he was under the impression that the Board would be using the <br /> 1998 LCP only make reference to it and that the new LCP would supersede the old document. <br /> Mr. Lehrer made the point that much of the information in the existing document is transferrable <br /> into a new document. <br /> Vice Chair Callahan asked Ms. Waygan what point was the Town of Yarmouth currently at with <br /> this process. Ms. Waygan said that Yarmouth just finished its workshop and compiling the <br /> survey. They felt that they did not have enough of participants so the town sent out a survey link <br /> to everyone in the Town of Yarmouth. She stated that there are 25,000 Yarmouth residents and <br /> they previously only had 90 responses. She previously had done a direct mailing with a stamped <br /> envelope included which yielded the best results. <br /> The Board then tools at 15 minute recess and reconvened at 6:55 PM. <br /> BOARD MEMBER COMMITTEE REPORTS <br /> Cape Cod Commission - Ms. Waygan stated that earlier in the week the Cape Cod Commission <br /> updated the RPP in response to a citizen petition that was filed about two years ago to "beef it <br /> up"regarding responding to climate change. There should be a new updated RPP soon. The <br /> petitioner group made public comment and said they were fine with the changes. <br /> Community Preservation Committee - Ms. Waygan said that the Committee did meet and she <br /> put in comments from the Planning Board to the CPC in their public hearing in general as to <br /> what they should do with the money from housing and open space purchases that supported our <br /> nitrogen management program. Ms. Waygan said that other items discussed were the application <br /> to purchase Gooseberry Island. The CPC agreed to spend up to $3,000 for an appraisal of the <br /> property. Ms. Waygan closed by stating that she commented that The Planning Board would love <br /> to have this property but it depends on the price. <br /> Design Review - Vice Chair Callahan said Design Review did not have a meeting. <br /> 3 <br />
