These are the January 3, 2018 minutes of the Queenstown Planning Commission. The meeting had no quorum so no official actions or votes were taken after the town attorney advised members they could discuss matters but not act. Commissioners discussed the Wooter property: a broker asked if the town would buy the rear portion if subdivided, Peter Johnston noted the rear portion would lack public access, and the group discussed a lot-line revision to merge that portion with the Wastewater Treatment Plant lot to provide approved access and possible uses (material storage or boat-ramp parking); Peter will contact Bob Rauch about funding. Election of Planning Commission officers and approval of minutes could not be completed. In public comment Pat Bowell asked whether Salt Box Cove lots on septic would be annexed and required to hook into town sewer; Peter addressed Growth Allocation. The Town Manager reported White Marsh has taken over operation and maintenance of the Wastewater Treatment Plant, and that the Town Commissioners adopted the Comprehensive Plan and approved Ordinance 17-07 on short-term rentals. The meeting was called to order at about 7:30 p.m. and adjourned at 7:51 p.m.

Planning Commission Minutes
January 3, 201 8
A regularly scheduled meeting of the Queenstown Planning Commission was held Wednesday
evening January 3, 2018. Present were Matt Reno, Chair, Philip Snyder, Town Planner Peter
Johnston and Town Manager Amy Moore. As three members of the Commission are required for
a quorum an official meeting could not be held. The town attorney was contacted by telephone
and informed us that we could discuss matters but could not take any actions.
Accordingly, Matt brought the meeting to order at approximately 7:30 p.m.
OLD BUSINESS
1) Wooter Property - A real estate broker has approached the town to see if we would be
interested in purchasing the rear portion of the Wooter lot if it could be subdivided. Peter
Johnston explained that the rear portion would have no access to a public way which is a
requirement. Matt Reno pointed out that there was always a need for town property even
if we could not see a use at this moment. Peter said that it would be possible to merge
the portion with the Wastewater Treatment lot by a lot line revision. lt could then have
approved access and might be able to be used for material storage or even parking for
the boat ramp. Peterwould contact Bob Rauch to see if there were funding sources for
this.
2) Election of PC Omcers - Unable to take action due to lack of quorum.
?\ Minutes - Unable to take action due to lack of quorum.

was curious about some of the lots along Salt Box Cove which have houses with septic systems.
Would they be annexed and, if so, would they be required to hook into the Queenstown
sewerage system.
In answering her questions, Peter also discussed Growth Allocation and how it is applied.
