Phil Snyder, Chairman, called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m.

Barry Waterman discussed the look of "small town" for his planned development. He discussed that there will be less units in the plan than originally; 202 downto 198. His consultant is working on design guidelines for the project. There would be an HOA for property maintenance if but would be a town decision to have open space, parks, trails, etc. included into HOA or Town would manage. He advised that Critical Area approval for the trails would be much

smoother if town owned and was responsible for them. Mr. Waterman requested the Planning Commission schedule a public hearing to keep things moving. Peter Johnston advised against scheduling a hearing until such time the design guidelines are submitted. The public should have all pertinent information available for review when the hearing date is advertised. Commission agreed to wait until the design guidelines are received before scheduling a hearing.
