Happy,
okay,
all
right
works
for
me,
okay,
public
comment:
this
would
be
a
moment
for
anybody
either
in
the
audience
or
participating
remotely
to
make
comments
on
anything
can
be
on
the
agenda
or
not.
There
does
not
seem
to
be
anybody
from
the
public
here
tonight
and
Eric.
Is
there
anybody
participating
online?
Who
wants
to
make
a
comment.
I
So
we've
been
here
about
two
months
next
week
and
the
disaster
loans
that
we
do
offer
to
homeowners,
renters
businesses,
as
well
as
non-profits
in
the
forms
of
business,
physical
damage,
loans
up
to
two
million
dollars
home
disaster
loans.
We
help
homeowners
with
their
real
estate
up
to
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
and
then
personal
property
for
homeowners
and
renters
up
to
forty
thousand
dollars.
In
addition
to
our
economic
injury
disaster
loans,
which
have
a
deadline
of
next
April
15th,
those
also
have
a
two
million
dollar
cap.
I
Just
last
week
we
announced
that
we
are
going
to
be
here
an
extra
month,
so
the
deadline
was
extended
to
October
12th.
Anything
we
do
when
we're
on
the
ground
in
a
state
is
done
at
the
request
of
the
state.
So
we
worked
with
FEMA.
You
may
know
that
we
work
in
accord
with
FEMA
FEMA,
provides
grants
to
people
when
they're
offering
their
individual
assistance.
I
We
are
reaching
out
we're
doing
a
lot
of
Outreach
to
communities
like
yourself,
the
Media
newspapers,
events
we're
working
with
farmers
markets.
We
most
recently
worked
the
the
Champlain
Valley
Fair.
We
were
there
for
about
10
days
along
with
FEMA
in
in
the
booth
getting
the
word
out,
and
we
also
like
to
let
people
know
that
we
have
disaster
recovery.
I
Centers
we've
now
currently,
as
of
today,
have
seven
disaster
recovery
centers,
actually
their
FEMA
disaster
recovery,
centers,
where
we
are
located
with
FEMA
as
long
as
as
well
as
other
agencies
of
the
state,
Red
Cross
USDA,
to
provide
information
and
where
people
can
apply
in
person
talk
to
a
trained
and
experienced
customer
service
rep,
they
can
also
go
online.
We
have
a
disaster
loan
assistance.sba.gov
where
folks
can
apply,
there's
also
email
addresses
and
the
like.
If
they
have
any
questions
to
work
with
us.
I
The
date
we
have
awarded
very
close
to
17
million
dollars
in
disaster
loans,
350
loan
applications
have
been
approved,
FEMA's
referred
to
us
about
4,
700
folks
and
out
of
that
4
700
referrals,
841
folks
have
applied
for
the
loan.
603
of
those
are
home.
Loan
applications
and
238
are
business.
We
have
a
a
feeling
that
there
will
be
more
folks
applying
if
there's
always
a
lag
time.
I
You
know
folks
have
to
get
their
house
in
order
their
businesses
in
order
they
like
to
make
applications
with
insured
the
insurance
company
first,
although
they
don't
have
to
do
insurance
first
or
us.
First,
there's
no
real
order.
If
they
do
one
or
the
other
sequentially,
you
know
we
will
work
that
will
sort
itself
out,
but
any
of
the
loans
that
we
do
provide.
I
They
there
is
no
feebleau
apply.
There's
no
obligation
to
take
the
loan,
and
currently
now
the
first
year
is
deferred
interest
free.
So
but
the
loans
that
we
do
offer
are
are
ones
where
we
encourage
folks
to
again
apply
online
or
come
in
and
talk
to
someone
they're,
they're,
very
low
interest
rates.
The
interest
rates
are
four
percent
and
less
and
again,
it's
all
spelled
out
on
on
the
fact
sheet:
four
percent
for
businesses,
2.375
for
non-profit
organizations
and
2.5
for
homeowners
and
renters.
I
So
we
encourage
folks
again
to
come
into
one
of
our
centers,
the
the
seven
centers
that
I
mentioned
I
think
two
of
them
are
going
to
be
closing
in
the
next
couple
of
days.
We
closed
a
couple
last
week
and
we
like
to
work
with
folks
if
they
get
their
application
in,
hopefully
with
it
by
within
a
month,
they
can
get
their
first
payout
of
up
to
twenty
five
thousand
dollars
for
either
an
idle
loan
or
for
a
or
for
business.
I
Physical
damage
loan
to
get
their
paperwork
in
order
they're
going
to
work
with
one
of
our
customer
service
reps
over
40
over
three
to
four
weeks,
and
then
in
that
fifth
week.
Hopefully
we
can
get
that
that
payout
to
them
of
that
17
million
dollars
figure
that
I
noted
here
in
Chittenden,
County
we've
awarded
almost
a
more
than
a
half
a
million
662
thousand
dollars
and
we've
had
25
Home
applications.
I
The
way
the
idols
work
are,
if
there's
any
businesses
here
in
town
that
have
an
economic
setback
tied
to
the
dates
of
the
the
incident
period
on
the
fact
sheet
there,
which
is
the
7th
to
the
17th
of
July,
they
can
look
back.
You
know
three
four
five
months
down
the
road
and
see
that
they
had
a
you
know.
Then
maybe
they
had
to
lay
off
employees
or
they
couldn't
go
into
a
particular
County
and
do
business.
I
G
I
They're
the
idol
and
we
call
the
idle
loans
right
any
of
our
if
any
of
anyone
that's
interested
in
a
loan
and
they
have
other
outstanding
loans
from
the
SBA
folks
may
have
covet
Idol
or
they
may
have
other
disaster
loans
that
they've
taken
from
us.
Unfortunately,
those
can't
be
combined,
but
that
won't
preclude
you
from
taking
taking
out
the
third
loan.
Folks
Also
may
think
that
you
know
their
credit.
I
They
may
have
a
high
credit
score
and
or
they
don't
want
to
take
on
a
loan,
we
still
encourage
them
to
come
in
and
at
least
talk
to
us.
We
don't
hold
credit
score
against
someone.
We
look
at
their
ability
to
repay,
so
we
look
at
the
big
picture.
You
know
and
again,
like
I
mentioned,
they've
got
that
first
year,
interest
free
and
and
deferred
so
that
could
help
some
folks
to
get
their
get
back
on
their
feet
and
that
date,
the
date
starts.
A
B
I
I
But
again
me,
you
know,
maybe
maybe
there's
a
bed
and
breakfast
here.
You
know
that
may
have
some
stuff.
I
did
hear
of
a
couple
of
folks
that
were
having
cancellations
to
you
know,
reservations
to
their
their
bed
and
breakfast.
You
know
with
the
you
know,
with
fall
and
everything
because
you
know
it
is
so
wet
out
there,
but
seems
to
me
things
are
kind
of
drying
up
a
little
bit.
I,
don't
know
what
anyone
else
thinks
you
know.
I
H
Yeah
staff
level
we've
been
working
just
to
help
get
the
word
out.
So
folks
are
aware
of
these
programs
if
they're
affected
and
want
to
consider
these
these
Financial
opportunities
for
these
loans
to
assist
them.
So
that's
something
on
the
town
website,
I've
connected
with
Jim
a
few
times
here
do
another
round.
With
this
latest
update
yeah.
I
I
I
There
are
three
counties
in
New,
York,
three
in
New
Hampshire
and
one
in
Mass,
where
we
also
offer
the
Idol,
because
they're
contiguous
to
declared
County
and
again
those
declared
counties
are
where
FEMA
is
offering
their
individual
and
public
assistance
and
then
in
the
contiguous
they're,
just
only
they're,
only
offering
their
public
assistance
and
and
then
that's,
and
we
can
also
help
again
with
non-profits,
there's
kind
of
a
small
window.
It's
it
where
we
can
help
non-profits
as
well
as
Farmers
USDA,
primarily,
would
be
the
source
where
Farmers.
I
If
they
had
field
damage,
we
can
help
farmers
that
have
a
have
a
business
operating
on
the
farm
themselves.
You
know,
maybe
maybe
a
a
Farm
Stand
or
a
co-op
or
things
like
that.
We
can
help.
But
again
we
encourage
folks
to
to
you
know
to
come
talk
to
us
and
if
they're
interested
we'd
love
to
be
able
to
help
them.
I
H
It's
along
the
lines
of
the
theme
of
funding
discussion.
Our
Public
Works
staff
recently
met
with
FEMA
officials
to
discuss
damage
because
our
infrastructure
from
Hawaii
rain
events
FEMA,
is
going
to
be
reimbursing
75
percent
of
the
cost
of
the
state
of
Vermont
reimbursing
17
and
a
half
and
the
remaining
seven
and
a
half
percent
coming
from
the
town.
I'm.
K
H
H
We'll
be
doing
our
annual
9
11
remembrance,
this
coming
Monday
September,
the
11th
at
the
fire
station
change
in
time.
It's
at
people
gather
it
will
gather
at
9,
30
and
we'll
start
about
9
40
at
the
fire
station
to
attend
it's
a
ceremony.
The
fire
organizes
with
with
police
and
we'll
have
some
get
some
community
members
to
come
out
as
well.
H
I've
included
a
draft
budget
review
schedule
in
your
packet
for
the
Newt
for
Mike
and
Jean.
Sorry
I
was
planning
budget
season
right
now,
so
part
of
it
is
planning
to
select
boards
review
process.
One
thing:
I
chatted
with
Ted
about
was
maybe
doing
a
Saturday
session
to
go
through
all
Department
budgets
in
the
past.
The
town
has
split
that
up
over
a
couple
meetings
in
December.
H
So
that's
the
major
change
for
the
board
to
think
about.
I
haven't
heard
any
objection
from
staff.
I
flew
at
this
department.
That's
a
few
weeks
ago.
We're
going
to
start
our
internal
process
here.
Next
couple
of
weeks
get
budget
trans.
The
manager
will
transmit
the
budget
by
the
first
December
so
to
the
board.
So.
G
D
A
A
B
L
Let
some
of
the
commission
members
come
up
and
and
have
their
turn
since
the
major
thrust
of
this
proposed
bylaw
amendment
is
related
to
housing
and
and
supply
of
affordable
housing.
I
want
to
start
there
and
recognize
number
one
that
you
know.
Williston
has
a
long
history
of
attempting
to
address
housing.
Affordability,
going
going
to
before
my
time
here
and
and
through
a
number
of
planners
select
boards
and
planning
commissions
paths.
L
L
Housing,
said
well,
gosh,
you've
you're,
changing
your
regulations,
you're
creating
quite
a
bit
of
development
potential.
What
about
affordable
housing-
and
the
answer
was-
that
is
the
very
next
thing
we're
going
to
do
so.
The
Taft
Corners
project
came
with
a
to-do
list
on
that
to-do
list
were
a
couple
of
different
items.
L
What
you
see
in
front
of
you
tonight
represents
the
hard
work
of
Staff,
as
well
as
the
Planning
Commission,
in
refining
the
adjustments
to
the
land
use
rules
that
we
think
could
help
increase
the
proportion
of
new
housing
in
Williston
that
comes
online,
that
is
in
one
shape
or
form
or
another
more
affordable,
and
what
you're
seeing
tonight,
what
we're
going
to
go
over
is
not
fundamentally
different
from
the
policy
discussion
that
we
had
over
the
early
summer
with
this
body.
In
other
words,
there
are
no
real
big
new
ideas
related
to
housing.
L
This
amendment
package
also
reflects
a
number
of
smaller
amendments.
We
refer
to
as
the
collected
amendments
I've
listed.
Those
very
briefly
in
the
bullet
list
in
my
cover
letter
and
I,
was
trying
to
kind
of
find
a
way
to
communicate
to
the
selector.
Well,
why
are
these
other
issues
coming
up
things
like
food
trucks
and
backyard
chickens
and
accessory
food
service
at
manufacturing
sites
in
town
and
all
these
other
little
things
and
well?
L
Another
thing
that
we
were
asked
a
lot
about
during
the
form-based
code
project
in
in
2020
and
2021
was
what
about
coven.
What
what
about
the
ways
that
the
world
is
changing
when
some
of
our
fundamental
assumptions
are
challenged
about
the
way
that
we
can
live
in
the
world?
What
are
the
restaurants
going
to
do?
What
about
outdoor
dining?
What
about
food
delivery?
L
Every
the
way
people
use
the
town
and
the
public
spaces
in
the
town
is
changing?
What
about
that?
And
so
we
had
some
things
that
that
we
saw
come
back
to
the
fore
as
a
result
of
that
conversation
and
those
are
included
in
what
we
call
the
collected
amendments
and
they're
mostly
more
related
to
Economic
Development
type
goals,
as
opposed
to
housing
goals,
and
it
seemed
okay
to
package
the
two
together
into
this
one
transmittal
from
the
Planning
Commission.
That's
how
they've
been
working
on
them.
So
we
can.
L
L
If
you
want
to
go
through,
especially
the
housing
related
stuff
Simon
miles,
who
worked
significantly
on
sorry
there.
He
is
on
the
collected
amendments,
maybe
the
best
person
to
come
up
and
talk
about
those,
so
I'll
I'll
get
out
of
the
way
as
needed.
As
I
mentioned
before
we
have
some
Planning
Commission
members
who
may
want
to
speak
and
answer
some
questions
about
why
they
chose
the
approaches
they
chose
in
this
bylaw
Amendment.
So
I'll
stop
there.
N
That's
okay
with
you,
yep
Okay!
So,
first
of
all,
allowing
the
the
amended
by
law
allows
exemptions
to
growth
management
for
small
low
impact
infill
projects,
including
including
adaptive,
reuse
of
non-residential
structures
to
residential
and
allowing
up
to
four
total
dwelling
units
on
an
existing
parcel
without
having
to
go
through
growth
management.
G
Linda
I'm
going
to
stop
you
just
because
I
should
apologize,
I'm
absorbing
as
fast
as
I
can
on
this
stuff,
but
when
we
say
growth
management,
we're
talking
about
the
you
get
so
many
points
for
your
development
and
then
the
somebody
in
the
in
the
design
review
board.
Somebody
decides
this
is
how
you
all
stack
up,
and
this
is
who
gets
the
allocation?
That's
what
we
say:
growth
management.
N
N
A
G
L
L
Be
90.
so
when
we
talk
about
projects
that
are
either
exempt
because
they
are
small
under
this
proposed
bylaw
Amendment
or
that
are
inclusive
of
affordable
homes,
we
are
talking
about
those
also
not
going
through
the
growth
management
scoring
process
and
also
not
requiring
allocation
on
the
table
in
order
to
move
forward.
So
there
is
a
possibility
that
the
table
is
completely
full
in
the
growth
management
system
of
market
rate
projects
and
that
there
are
affordable
projects.
L
Inclusive
projects
that
include
have
create
units
beyond
the
caps
in
growth
management
I
would
caution
that
that's
balanced
by
the
pay
and
loop
provision.
That's
added!
So
today,
if
you
want
to
build
a
100
market
rate
project
in
growth
management,
you
can
you
can
do
that,
and
there
are
other
ways
to
score
points
and
be
competitive
in
that
process
without
providing
affordable
homes
which
is
currently
incentive
there.
L
L
G
L
F
N
Wouldn't
be
restricted
to
adus,
it
would
be
exempting
you
know
if
somebody
has
a
parcel
and-
and
they
want
to
build
board
dwelling
units
on
that
parcel
subject
to
density
requirements
and
and
other
requirements
of
the
bylaw
that
would
not
have
to
go
through
growth
management.
They
would
just
go
through
the
discretionary
permit
process
and
be,
you
know,
have
to
do
site,
plan,
review
and
and
all
the
rest
and-
and
it
would
be,
you
know
only
those
Parcels
that
would
have
the
area
to
allow
the
density
of.
L
Yeah,
so
that's
an
important
Point.
These
proposed
amendments.
Don't
change
the
number
of
units
per
acre
that
are
allowed
anywhere,
that
that
all
stays
the
same.
They
don't
change
setback
Provisions,
they
don't
change
height
Provisions,
they
don't
change,
design
standards
or
anything
like
that.
It's
just
about
you
know
the
the
number
of
dwelling
units
that
can
be
approved
through
the
site
plan
review
process
without
going
through
that
interim
step
of
growth
management.
A
N
That
make
sense
yeah,
okay,
okay,
so
then
we
come
to
allowing
an
exemption
to
growth
management
for
projects
that
are
inclusive,
that
include
a
certain
percentage
of
affordable
homes
and
the
bylaw.
The
the
amended
bylaw
has
details
on
how
many
the
required
percentage
of
affordable
homes
and
it's
it
would
be
10
at
80
percent
area,
median
income
for
15
of
the
total
units
affordable
at
100
of
the
area,
median
income,
or
just
to
allow
some
flexibility.
N
There's
some
minor
amendments
to
growth
management
procedure
and
allocation
rules.
The
one
of
those
in
particular
I'll
I'll,
just
point
out,
will
be
that
currently
projects
that
go
through
growth
management,
large
projects
that
don't
get
all
the
required
allocation
in
the
first
round
of
growth
management
have
to
repeatedly
go
back
to
growth
management.
N
N
So
so
the
proposed
change
is
that
once
a
project
obtains
that
that
single
that
that
first
allocation,
then
in
successive
years,
they
wouldn't
have
to
go
through
pre-application,
they
would
just
they
wouldn't
have
to
go
through
growth
management.
They
would
just
go
to
the
drb
for
a
discretionary
permit,
Amendment
just
to
amend
their
their.
What
do
you
call
it?
Phasing
schedule.
A
N
N
N
N
G
N
Right,
so
to
calculate
the
affordability.
Basically,
a
house
is
considered
affordable
if
the
household
spends
no
more
than
30
percent
of
your
income
on
housing
expenses,
including
if
you
own
the
house,
it
would
be
mortgage
taxes
insurance
if
you're
renting.
It
would
be
your
rent,
your
utilities,
basically
yeah,
rent
and
utilities.
L
F
L
Income,
so
that's
that's!
Looking
at
a
household
income
and
I'd
be
looking
at
a
four-person
household
for
a
three-bedroom
house,
that's
an
annual
household
income
of
a
hundred
and
thirteen
thousand
six
hundred
dollars.
So
we
have.
We
have
a
quite
High
median
income
in
the
Chittenden
County
area,
so
we
have
a
relatively
High
immediate
income
as
a
result
of
just
lots
of
high
salaries
in
the
region.
G
N
L
You
might
be,
but
given
given
the
heavy
subscription
of
the
town's
growth
management
system,
especially
if
you're
looking
at
a
large
project
you're,
also
looking
at
maybe
not
being
able
to
schedule
that
entire
project,
so
it
there's
an
exchange
of
money,
but
there's
also
an
exchange
of
certainty
and
flexibility
for
the
applicant
that
we
think
has
some
value
as
well
and
I
think
you
know
embedded
a
lot
of
the
questions
that
are
asked
about
payment
in
Lewis.
Well,
wait
a
minute
that
doesn't
make
up
the
gap
between
an
affordable
and
a
market
rate
home.
L
And
that's
that's
absolutely
true.
It
doesn't
it's
it's
a
significant
but
not
total
disincentive
for
someone
to
build
an
all-market
rate
project
and
then
the
other
thing
is
because
that
money's
coming
to
the
town
and
coming
into
the
affordable
housing
trust
fund.
It
lets
the
town,
accumulate
it
and
and
do
some
things
with
it
that
the
market
might
not
otherwise
be
able
to
do.
We.
L
N
L
N
N
And
then
and
then
finally,
we
amended
the
criteria
for
scoring
points,
namely
giving
the
energy
conservation
measures
more
weight
or
more
points
in
today's
system.
You
can
get
10
points
for
energy
criteria
and,
like
they're,
literally
almost
never
used
because
they're
considered
pretty
onerous
in
in
today's
bylaw,
not
much
flexibility
at
all
and
they
don't.
It
doesn't
get
you
very
many
points
with
the
amendment
amended
by
law,
energy
conservation
criteria
get
you
30
points
30
out
of
100
and
they're
more
flexible.
N
You
know
there.
It
there's
just
there's
more
choice
in
what
you
can
do,
but
there
they
all
help
to
conserve
energy,
adding
the
option
of
using
renewable
sources
of
heat
and
hot
water,
such
as
full
flame
and
heat
pumps,
and
reducing
the
requirement
for
energy
storage
from
four
day
storage
to
two-day
storage.
But
they're
still,
you
know
flexibility
and
choice
and
those
energy
criteria
and
then
I
think
yeah
I
think
that's
about
it.
There's
in
chapter
19,
there's
right!
N
There's,
there's
a
couple
of
other
housing:
supportive
amendments,
an
exemption
from
residential
density
requirements
for
adaptive,
reuse
projects.
So
if
there's
a
commercial
building,
if
you're
adapting
it
to
a
residential
use,
you
would
it
would.
You
would
not
be
subject
to
the
density
to
to
the
existing
density
requirements
and
then
adding
a
density
bonus
for
mixed-use
residential
projects
that
include
greater
than
30
percent
of
affordable
dwellings.
N
L
What
that
means,
yeah,
you
can
have
more
units
for
the
acre
of
land,
and
so
the
land
area
Melinda
is
talking
about
is
mostly
from
a
few
hundred
feet,
south
of
Harvest
Lane
to
Interstate
89
in
that
mixed
use
area,
that's
not
in
the
form-based
code
area.
In
the
form-based
code
area,
we
don't
look
at
density
by
units
per
acre,
so
there's
there's
no
incent
incentive.
L
You
can
multiply
it
by
the
the
form
is
what's
regulating
what
happens
there,
and
this
is
this-
is
reflecting
a
bonus
that
currently
exists
in
the
entire
residential
zoning
District.
There's,
there's
a
bonus
for
going
to
30,
affordable
in
chapter
19
for
that
District
today,
the
former
Catamount
golf
or
Summerfield
project
is
an
example
of
a
project
that
is
proposing
to
take
advantage
of
that
that
bonus.
So
it
goes
from
three
per
acre
to
five
per
acre.
In
that
case,.
L
N
L
B
P
Hello,
everyone,
hello,
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
to
do
this
and
having
us
here.
We
really
appreciate
it:
I'm
going
to
speak
at
a
much
higher
level,
because
the
staff
are
much
better
at
the
technical
parts
of
this
than
I
am.
But
we
heard
loud
and
clear
during
form-based
code
and
a
number
of
of
our
other
public
hearings
where
we
went
out
and
proactively
looked
for
feedback
on
the
work
that
we
were
doing
in
Williston
that
affordable
housing
was
really
important
and
it's
something
that
we
need
to
work
on.
P
P
I
will
say
that
we
looked
at
multiple
different
options
for
how
to
do
this,
and
this
was
the
option
that
is
sort
of
the
most
well
tested
and
the
one
that
staff
really
recommended
as
the
best
choice
for
moving
us
forward
in
a
way
that
won't
hamstring.
You
know
Housing
Development,
because
that
of
course
would
be
counterproductive
and
is
not
the
route
that
we
want
to
take
and
at
the
same
time
ensure
that
there
are
more
units
that
that
folks
can
afford.
P
This
is
a
really
great
way
to
push
the
proportion
of
our
housing
that's
being
developed
to
a
more
affordable
level.
So
again,
like
Matt
said,
we
don't
think
this
is
going
to
create
a
sudden
housing
boom
in
Williston.
This
isn't
going
to
generate
tons
more
units
all
of
a
sudden,
but
it
will
push
the
proportion
of
units,
hopefully
toward
that
affordable
rate
for
folks,
so
that
it's
easier
to
come,
and
so
those
are
the
pieces
that
I
wanted
to
say
again.
I
appreciate
you
all
doing
this.
P
We've
been
working
on
this
for
a
while,
it's
near
and
dear
to
my
heart.
It's
been
really
great
work
by
again.
The
staff
and
I
really
want
to
appreciate
Melinda
and
Matt
and
the
amount
of
time
they
put
into
it,
and
we're
happy
to
answer
questions
and
I
I
just
want
to
see
if
Jill
wanted.
My
co-chair
wanted
to
say
anything.
That
was
why
she's
a
good
life.
Q
It
might
not
be
perfect,
but
it's
admitting
to
the
necessary
to
start
considering
Where
We
Are
in
the
community
and
relationships
over
towns
and
if
any
sort
of
outside
of
senior
and
Lilo
you
know
we
have
a
huge
gap
because
we
are
targeting
immigration
and
we
have
four
basically
to
kind
of
keep
us
aligned.
This
is
a
great
opportunity,
and
the
sooner
that
I
mean
this
curious.
Q
And
things
to
get
to
take
off
to
have
to
have
opportunities,
because
it's
a
huge
name.
We
see
it
everywhere
from
people
who
want
to
HL
individuals,
singer
won't
take
jobs
in
Vermont
and
they
can't
give
and
afford,
or
people
who
are
living
with
multi-income
families,
and
it's
something
that
we
can
take
a
step
here,
and
this
is.
This
is
something
that
we're
looking
forward
to.
So
thanks.
F
You
for
tackling
such
a
difficult
issue,
I.
Thank
you
for
leading
on
these
issues.
I
think
that's
important.
You
know
I
disagree
with
in-loo
payments.
I,
don't
think.
That's
the
way
to
tackle
this
I
never
believed
that
the
government
can
spend
my
money
better
than
I.
Can
you
know
I
I
like
the
fact
that
you're
really
really
relaxing
the
standards
on
the
accessory
dwelling
units
I?
Think
that's
real
important
I
think
that's
really
going
to
help
people
I
think
you
know
allowing
four
units
per
law
I
think
it's
a
really
good!
F
That's
spreading
the
wealth
around
I
really
like
that.
I
think
that
affordable
housing
is
not
only
home
priced,
but
it
must
also
include
you
know
what
we're
doing
to
keep
property
taxes
down
in
town
by
keeping
property
taxes
down
in
town
price
is
down
in
town.
It
also
helps
make
rents
more
affordable.
F
I,
like
that
I
think
on
the
enforcement
of
the
affordability,
housing
I
think
that
should
be
starting
with
the
tenth
dwelling
that
a
developers
the
developer
gets
a
hundred
homes
allocated.
You
should
start
the
affordable
housing
after
the
after
the
10th
dwelling.
I,
don't
want
to
see
you
know,
developers
pacing.
P
F
Thank
you,
but
you
know
what
I
I
like
a
lot
of
what
you're
doing
I
you
know
when
you
talk
about
Energy,
Efficiency,
I
love,
what
they're
doing
in
Canton,
with
the
O'briens
they're
doing
with
their
new
developments.
You
know
all
Soul
are
all
power
walls
being
able
to
disconnect
from
the
grid
I
like
that
you're
talking
about
the
two
day
and
the
four
day,
I
think
that's
important.
I
think
that's
something
that
we
can
start
with
new
dwellings
and
once
that
you
know
becomes
affordable
and
it
becomes
more
mainstream.
F
We
can
take
old
dwellings
and
do
the
same
thing
with
them.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
potential
that
I
think
that's
the
future
and
you
know
thank
you,
you're
doing
a
lot
of
hard
work,
you're
trying
to
please
everybody
and
it's
really
difficult
to
please
everybody
I
know
I'm,
not
the
only
one
that
you're
trying
to
please
no.
P
I
I
hear
that
I
do
want
to
I
I,
hear
you
on
the
in
Loop
payments.
It's
not
perfect.
One
thing
that
what
I
was
frustrated
by
is
the
reality
that
we
we
would
risk
a
lot
if
we
demanded
developers
build
housing.
That's
affordable,
for
example,
for
the
families
that
you
all
heard
from
and
we
heard
from
who
have
children
who
are
now
young
adults
who
want
to
live
in
Williston
and
who
are
living
with
disabilities,
developmental
or
intellectual
disabilities
developers
realistically
are
not
going
to
come
in
and
make
housing.
That's
Section,
8,
affordable
housing.
P
That's
got
Supportive
Services
for
those
individuals,
probably
just
not
a
reality.
The
in-loop
payments,
if
they
go
to
that
Housing
Trust,
is
something
that
we
could
leverage
to
work
with,
for
example
the
Champlain
Housing
Trust,
and
that
group
and
provide
that
type
of
Housing
and
increase
that
diversity
and
ensure
those
young
adults
could
stay
here.
So
it's
I
hear
you
it's
not
perfect
and
we
could
see.
Maybe
it's
not
enough,
as
you
say,
and
people
just
skip
the
affordable
units
and
they
only
pay
the
in
lieu.
Well.
P
G
G
Yeah
when
I
say
okay,
we
are
letting
this
50
unit
or
100
unit.
You
know,
house
development,
skip
growth
management
and
come
in
potentially
faster
than
the
town
can
absorb
it
or
the
school's
gonna
absorb.
It.
Pretend
houses
that
for
someone
that
hunt
makes
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
that
seems.
P
P
Goods
are
expensive
here.
There
are
lots
of
reasons
that
it's
hard
to
build
housing
in
Vermont
that
have
nothing
to
do
with
our
fancy
zoning
in
Williston
and
it,
and
so
we
don't
want
to
do
that
and
I
think
it
is
the
piece
that
we
probably
one
of
the
pieces
that
we
talked
about
the
most
and
one
that
we
might
come
back
to.
P
You
said,
though,
because
I
think
it's
a
really
important
thing
for
people
in
Williston
to
hear
which
is
again
that
I
that
it's
not
going
to
open
the
floodgates
of
Housing
and
all
of
a
sudden
there's
going
to
be
millions
of
new
units,
because
we
don't
have
this
growth
management
option.
We
really
do
not
that
that
we
do
not
foresee
that
happening.
Q
Q
So
what
we're
hoping
is
that
by
putting
in
this
opportunity
that
it
might
attract
other
folks
who
couldn't
or
wouldn't
kind
of
go
through
that
growth
management
process,
but
are
invested
it
and
do
value
the
idea
of
affordable
housing
and
will
will
not
only
maybe
just
meet
our
like
if
you're
thinking
it's
a
low
bar
but
might
potentially
consider
you
know,
other
avenues
like
these
particular
groups
invested
interests,
people
with
the
developmental
disabilities.
Things
like
that.
D
Before
we
move
on
so
and
I
feel
like
I'm,
always
the
person
who
brings
us
up
but
I
think
it's
important
to
talk
about
Wastewater
capacity
and
the
limitations
that
that
would
also
impose
around
development
and
because
I
think
many
folks
May
fear
that
again
and
you've
done
a
great
job
of
kind
of,
hopefully
mitigating.
Some
of
that
fear
that
this
will
be
some
sort
of
massive
Boon
and
development,
but
that
we
do
have
other
kind
of
existing
limitations
on
on
what
might
dictate
development
in
this
town.
L
L
The
town
has,
as
it
relates
to
wastewater
treatment
capacity,
because
almost
all
new
development
happens
somewhere
in
the
part
of
town,
that's
served
by
water
and
sewer,
and
we
have
a
growth
management
system
and
we
think
about
it
as
this
system
with
this
table
and
this
limited
number
of
units-
and
that's
really
only
one
small
part
of
the
way
the
town
manages
growth
and
and
manages
its
ability
to
keep
up
with
the
pace
of
growth.
So
within
the
rest
of
the
zoning
bylaw
itself,
Williston
has
high
standards.
L
It
has
high
development
standards,
has
high
standards
for
the
concurrence
of
bringing
in
other
infrastructure
like
streets
and
paths
and
trails
and
open
space
and
playgrounds
and
any
number
of
other
things.
Those
are
also
all
ways
of
of
managing
growth,
because
not
just
any
old
sort
of
Bargain
Basement
residential
project
can
come
into
town.
L
So
it's
it's
yet
another
control
on
the
pace
of
growth,
it's
a
very
real,
very
physical
limitation,
on
the
total
of
what
can
happen
and
the
policy
decision,
the
select
board
makes
a
little
bit
is
how
fast
do
we
get
closer
to
the
outer
limit
of
what
the
current
system
can
can
provide
and
the
the
policy
push
in
the
town
planet
from
the
Blackboard
has
been
to
plan
for
20
years
of
capacity
and
think
about
what's
made
available
and
what's
sold
as
needing
to
last
over
that
20-year
period.
So
that's!
That's
all
still.
L
There
are
job
producing
industries
that
use
a
lot
of
waste
water
capacity,
and
there
are
job
producing
industries
that
don't
use
a
lot
of
Wastewater
capacity.
Does
the
town
want
to
start
prioritizing
how
it
sells
on
the
on
the
commercial
side?
In
that
regard,
does
the
town
want
to
make
more
capacity
available
for
affordable,
residential
and
less
capacity
available
for
market
rate
residential
right
right
now?
What's
made
available
for
affordable
is
relatively
small
because
there
isn't
as
much
demand
for
it.
L
That
balance
could
shift
so
I
hope,
I'm
answering
your
question,
which
is
basically
to
say
there's
yet
another
mechanism-
that's
not
even
in
zoning
that
also
Bears
heavily
on
the
pace
of
growth.
I
would
I
would
look
at
it
as
the
primary
policy
goal
of
that
one
is
a
very
sort
of
accounting
based.
One
of
we
don't
want
to
overspend
our
limited
sewer
budget,
and
we
want
to
think
carefully
about
how
we
spend
it.
Ultimately,
the
town's
comprehensive
plan
and
that
year
to
year
sewer
capacity
decision
should
be
the
things
driving
that.
G
L
L
So
we
we
have
that
conversation
with
prospective
developers
all
the
time,
and
we
say
you
know
here's
what
we
see
coming
available.
Here's
you
know.
If
you
were
thinking
about
something,
really
really
big
you,
you
might
need
to
think
about
whether
that's
feasible
within
the
system.
When
we,
when
we
change
the
zoning
in
Taft
Corners,
we
we
took
a
hard
look
at
well
just
how
much
of
the
potential
that
that
new
regulatory
change
creates
is
actually
supportable
by
the
current
infrastructure.
The
answer
is
not
all
of
it.
L
Something
will
have
to
change
by
2080
for
that
Vision
to
move
forward
or
the
vision
will
have
to
change
as
informed
by
the
limits
that
we
that
we
reach
in
williston's
policies,
I,
always
think
of
the
Scarecrow
and
Wizard
of
Oz,
because
sewer
allocation
and
Zoning
kind
of
do
this
to
each
other.
They
say:
we've
got
to
limit
how
much
sewer
allocation
we
sell,
because
we
need
to
control
the
pace
of
growth,
and
that
says
over
here.
We
need
to
control
the
pace
of
growth
because
we
don't
have
infinite
sewer
application.
L
I'd
literally,
look
forward
to
working
with
the
slack
board
over
the
next
couple
years
to
maybe
untangle
those
a
little
bit
and
and
put
them
in
a
in
a
priority
order
and
make
that
work
a
little
better.
But
that's
kind
of
beyond
the
scope
of
what
we're
dealing
with
here
and
for
now
that
year,
to
year
audit
of
what's
going
on
with
sewer.
And
how
does
it
relate
to
the
development
that's
being
permitted
it?
C
C
Two
people
left
on
the
board
that
were
present
at
the
time
of
that
discussion
and
we
both
voted
against
it
at
that
our
point
in
time.
So
a
lot
of
questions
about
is
there
going
to
be
a
permit
required?
If
so,
how
much
is
it
our
Coupes
going
to
be
a
required?
It's
fencing
going
to
be
required.
Manure
removal
and
our
roosters
allowed
so
big
thing
problems
down
the
road
sure.
L
Well,
let
me
let
me
frame
this
first
by
saying
one
of
the
first
questions.
I
heard
from
someone
who
survived
the
last
discussion
of
chickens
is
why
why
are
we
talking
about
this
again
at
all?
Didn't
didn't
we
just
decide
no
backyard
chickens
and
the
answer
is
largely
staff
driven,
so
apologize
for
that
it's
been
six
years.
L
So
we're
aware
of
that,
and
we're
also
aware
that
we
we've
not
received
any
complaints
about
backyard
chickens
in
that
time.
I
had
one
rooster
complaint
that
I
handled
under
the
the
noise
Provisions
I
called
the
homeowner
and
said
I'm
getting
a
complaint
that
you
have
a
rooster
and
he
said
I,
I,
don't
and,
and
then
the
complaint
ended
so
either
he
took
care
of
the
problem
or
he
really
didn't
have
a
rooster,
I'm,
not
sure
which-
and
you
know
sometimes.
L
This
is
not
the
first
time
where
our
bylaws
have
been
somewhat
behind,
what's
happening
out
out
in
the
world.
There
are
times
when
things
change
people
find
new
land
uses
again
covet
was
an
opportunity
for
lots
of
people
to
engage
in
backyard,
animal
husbandry
and
other
hobbies,
and
sometimes
the
zoning
disallows
something
in
a
blanket
sort
of
way,
and
you
know
we
start
to
wonder
if
that
still
makes
sense
so
to
to
get
more
into
the
details
of
your
question.
L
Currently
chickens
are
classified
as
Livestock
in
Williston
zoning,
the
same
as
pigs,
horses,
goats,
Etc
and
those
things
are
not
allowed
on
lots
that
are
smaller
than
one
acre.
So
the
the
threshold
is
dogs
and
cats
below
an
acre
above
an
acre,
Noah's,
Ark
and
chickens
are
kind
of
in
the
middle
there.
There
there's
a
fair
number
of
folks,
we're
aware
of
who
either
have
or
want
to
have
backyard
chickens
and
at
a
relatively
small
scale,
and
there
is
a
numerical
limit
proposed
in
the
in
the
bylaw
draft.
L
It's
something
that
that
can
be
done
without
creating
a
nuisance
for
your
neighbors.
So
that's
that's
the
framing
of
it.
We
would
not,
under
this
bylaw,
Amendment
and
Simon.
Please
come
up
and
correct
me
because
I'm
struggling
to
scroll
to
it
at
the
same
time,
we
would
not
require
a
permit
for
this,
but
there
are
a
set
of
Standards
related
to
it
and
and
they
include
a
limit
on
the
number.
Yes.
M
There's
a
limit
of
12
to
your
flocks.
You
can't
have
a
lot
a
number
of
chickens
larger
than
that,
and
you
also
got
to
adhere
to
setback
requirements.
You've
got
to
keep
the
chickens
15
feet
away
from
your
property
line
and
I
think
bedding
and
manure,
and
things
like
that
needs
to
be
stored
at
least
20
feet
away
from
the
property
line.
B
B
A
A
B
B
And
you
know
that
that
the
noise
and
the
odor
and
the
you
know
the
things
that
will
come
to
feed
on
the
feed
are
all
you
know
very
significant
issues
and
I?
You
know.
The
other
thing
I'd
say
is
that
we
had
a
meeting
either
one
or
two
meetings
ago,
where
a
gentleman
said
you
know
my
neighbors
have
chickens
and
I
know
that's
allowed
because
of
the
ordinance
and
I
said.
Well,
we
actually
that
that
was
defeated.
B
B
B
B
People
think
I
think
people
will
weigh
in
and
and
I
will
say
in
shape
and
I'll
hand
it
right
over
to
you,
but
the
last
time
we
did
this,
the
the
the
intensity
of
the
passion
on
both
sides.
I
I,
haven't
seen
such
passion
since
the
should
we
allow
advertising
on
the
Little
League
home,
run
fence
issue
that
when,
when
Ginny
Lyons
was
chair
of
this
board-
and
she
barely
survived
that.
J
And
I
Chapin
Kaner
I
live
in
the
village
and
10
years
ago,
when
I
retired
I
thought
I
might
want
to
get
chickens.
I'd
have
them
as
in
as
a
4-H
student
as
a
kid
and
in
order
to
decide
I
answered
someone's
ad
on
front
porch
for
him
to
house,
sit
their
chickens
or
the
chickens,
their
chickens
when
they
went
on
vacation
and
I've
done
that
for
four
other
families.
J
J
J
Here's
the
thing
when
I
thought
I
was
going
to
get
them.
I
thought
I
could
I
didn't
know
that,
because
my
lot
is
less
than
an
acre
I
could
not,
which
seems
ridiculous
to
me.
I
live
far
away
from
any
other
house,
but
my
lot's
less
than
an
acre
and
it
it's.
It
didn't
make
any
sense
to
me
that
I
couldn't
have
chickens,
so
I
started
out
on
the
side
of
well.
We
should
probably
change
something.
J
What
I
can
say
is
the
people
in
the
village
who
have
chickens,
they
manage
them
well,
and
people
don't
have
complaints
about
them,
and
so
I
I
find
a
lot
of
the
concern.
The
gentleman
you
spoke
about
came
and
spoke
to
us
on
the
Planning
Commission
too,
considering
that
and
he
didn't
have
a
neighborhood
chickens,
but
he
was
worried
he
might,
and
he
was
talking
about
what
we
were
considering
with
this
change
when
he
said
that
it
was
going
to
be
a
part
of
the
ordinance
I
lost.
My
train
of
thought.
J
They
shouldn't
be
split
up,
and
so
someone
who
already
has
four
or
five
chickens
is:
oh
I
could
take
four
or
five
more
and
you
don't
want
to
say:
oh
you
can't,
because
you
can
only
have
six
and
the
rooster
problem
should
be
taken
care
of
with
our
noise
ordinance,
as
should
a
barking
dog.
Now,
there's
to
me,
it's
not
any
different
than
a
barking
dog
to
have
a
rooster
disturbing
you.
J
Just
that's
my
where
I
come
from,
while
I'm
here
I
just
wanted
to
say
one
thing
to
the
earlier
questions
about
housing,
which
is,
as
someone
has
been,
the
Planning
Commission
for
a
while.
We
really
have
wanted
to
have
more
affordable
housing
because
we've
put
the
brakes
on
development
because
the
town
wants
to
slow
development.
J
Once
we
did
that
the
prices
of
the
houses
that
are
built
go
up
there
in
more
demand,
and
so
we
put
incentives
in
and
they
just
haven't
worked
so
we
feel
like
we
have
to
do
more,
but
for
the
people
who
can't
afford
a
medium
income
house,
that's
why
we
want
the
Housing
Trust
Fund
that
has
already
been
started
to
grow
and
why
we
ask
for
a
housing
committee
to
work
on
how
to
do
that.
But
the
idea
of
the
inclusionary
zoning
in
the
in
the
zoning
gives
us
more
affordable
housing.
J
A
G
E
A
L
There's
this
discussion
of
kennels
and
it
it
kind
of
leaves
the
question
open
about
kennels
for
a
home
business
versus
just
kennels
for
your
dog
that
you
know
lives.
It
lives
at
home
with
you,
and
we
wanted
to
clarify
that
a
homeowner
with
kennels
for
their
own
dogs
that
they
own
is
absolutely
fine
as
an
accessory
use
that
kettles
that
were
established
as
part
of
a
home
business
would
be
regulated
under
the
home
business
Provisions.
Simply.
A
G
P
Please
I
also
I
mean
we
put
this
all
for
it,
so
I
do
support
the
changes,
but
I
would
ask
that
if
the
select
board
feels
strongly
about
chickens
which
I
understand
that
I
would
ask
that,
if
that's
going
to
be
something,
that's
going
to
need
a
lot
more
time
that
we
separate
them,
because
we
feel
really
strong
at
this
housing
work.
You
know
is
critical
now,
so
that
was
that's.
My
plea
is,
if
that's
going
to
feel
like
a
no.
G
No,
that's
exactly
what
I
was
thinking
when
I
was
reading
these
there's
some
of
these,
which
are
sort
of
quality
of
life.
We
want
people's
input
on
what
that
would
be,
and
then
but
but
all
the
meetings
seem
to
be
about
chickens.
So
we
really
need
to
talk
about
this,
because,
even
if
it's,
even
if
we
all
were
100,
no
questions
all
want
this.
B
B
B
I
B
C
A
G
L
L
L
G
L
One
one
way
would
be
to
just
capture
everything:
that's
related
to
housing.
So
that's
going
to
be
the
amendments
in
chapter
11,
growth
management,
19
density,
which
is
really
just
to
correlate
to
11
and
maybe
a
handful
of
others,
and
we
can,
we
can
move
we
could
you
could
have
a
motion
to
move
that
forward
to
hearing
and
collectively
everything
else
is
what
I'm
calling
the
collected
amendments.
L
It
would
be
chickens,
EV,
charge
stations,
pool,
covers
expanded,
outdoor
eating
areas
for
food
manufacturers
and
sort
of
sort
of
a
bunch
of
other
things,
and
we
can.
We
can
help
you
staff
through
how
how
to
you
know,
warn
a
hearing.
That's
based
on
part
of
what
was
transmitted
to
you.
There's
some
timing,
things
in
statute.
We
have
to
follow,
but
it's
certainly
doable
for
the
board
to
move
forward
on
just
the
housing
elements
as
a
package
and
then
take
up
the
others
at
some
other
point.
A
A
G
E
A
B
H
B
L
So
if
you
wanted
to
move
forward
on
everything
but
chickens,
we
can
do
that.
That's
that's
easier
for
me
to
say
and
Define
than
than
just
quoting
you
all
the
chapter
numbers
for
everything
out
it
would
be.
It
would
be
to
move
everything
forward,
except
for
the
provision
in
chapter
20.
That
would
take
the
the
chickens
out
of
definition
as
lives.
L
H
B
A
A
F
D
H
B
K
K
Initially
we
started
our
take
out
journey
and
then
now
we
have
started
our
dining
and
we
have
been
requesting
getting
requests
to
add
more
like
our
customer
are
coming
in
or
we
are
calling
them
not
customer
like
our
Aroma
family,
so
they
are
coming
in
and
asking
us
hey.
Can
we
have
liquor
here
like
can?
Can
they
come
and
then
have
it
and
then
even
sometime
we
have
received
call,
oh,
you
don't
have
license,
but
can
we
can
we
bring
our
own
and
then
at
least
have
with
with
the
Indian
meal?
K
D
O
B
G
H
O
H
Is
there
a
motion
and
the
draft
motion
ceremony
Clark
reminded
me
that
for
a
new
license,
it's
not
on
the
April
30th
year.
It
would
be
a
year
from
the
date
of
issuance,
so
I
might
suggest.
The
motion
would
be
to
reflect
a
one-year
license
through
September
5th
of
2024,
rather
than
April
30th
at
Central
accident.

That
was
placed
on
a
couple
of
regulatory
Maps
through
the
adoption
of
the
form-based
code,
including
the
regulating
plan,
official
map
and
Street
specifications
map
and,
as
we've
worked
with
the
landowner
to
come
up
with
a
very
rough
layout
of
Trader
Lanes,
so
that
we
can
hopefully
move
forward
on
designing
and
constructing
the
street.
The
the
preferred
alternative
for
Trader
Lane
changes.
The
street
configuration
a
little
bit
from
what
the
regulating
plan
originally
anticipated.
L
The
regulating
plan
has
a
one-way
Street
circulation
around
a
central
green,
the
preferred
alternative,
slides
that
green
to
the
north,
essentially
making
it
a
t
with
the
end
of
Wright
Avenue,
which
is
the
street
that
CVS
is
on
and
straightens
Trader
Lane.
Removing
the
two
90
degree
turns
that
would
otherwise
be
required.
So
this
was
reviewed
by
the
Planning
Commission
as
a
potential
zoning
bylaw
Amendment,
because
that's
how
these
things
are
structured.
The
Planning
Commission
has
now
transmitted
its
its
version
of
this
Trader
Lane
alteration
to
the
select
board.
L
This
does
shift
the
green
and
Street
in
in
the
way
that
we
think
is
the
preferred
alternative.
The
Planning
Commission
also
added
a
change
to
the
street
type
for
Trader
Lane.
So
on
on
my
memo,
you'll
see
a
two
column
table
with
the
map
on
the
top
of
the
orange
yellow
red
streets
and
the
green
green.
Before
and
after
and
then
under
that
you'll
see
two
Street
sections.
L
Lane
probably
increases
its
ability
to
to
throughput
cars,
but
it
is
an
area
where
we
would
anticipate
significant
residential
development
and
Redevelopment
and
a
need
for
lots
of
people
to
be
able
to
move
up
and
down
the
street
as
well.
So
the
Planning
Commission
felt
that
in
straightening
the
street
out,
there
should
also
be
a
place
on
that
street
section
created
for
cyclists
and
and
recommends
that
change
staff
has
no
issue
with
that.
It's
it's
doable
under
the
code.
It
it
works
well,
within
the
other
framework.
L
Further
on
in
the
memo,
you'll
see
some
some
maps
that
kind
of
zoom
out
from
Taft
corners
and
show
how
this
would
look
in
in
the
overall
grid
of
the
Taft
Corner
streets
and
as
a
amendment
to
maps
that
are
adopted
under
the
unified
development
bylaw.
This
follows
the
same
path
as
what
we
were
talking
about
earlier
tonight.
It
would
need
to
be
warned
for
a
hearing
by
the
select
board
and
and
voted
on
at
that
hearing
in
order
to
become
effective,
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
about
Taft,
Corners,
Trader
lane
or
otherwise.
L
H
I
would
just
add,
you
know
the
street
type
change.
The
original
proposal
was
the
Korean.
The
plan
commission
had
the
street
type
change.
We
had
a
meeting
last
a
week
while
stakeholders
involved
in
this
project,
the
the
current
landowner
and
and
public
works
department
planning,
department,
myself
and
everyone
involved
in
the
project
team-
didn't
have
any
objections
to
this
proposal.
It's
it's
feasible
the
way
that
the
land
is
structured
and
everything
there
so
that.
D
Correct
me,
if
I'm
wrong
at
night
and
I'm
like
I,
can
very
much
be
misremembering
this,
but
in
the
original
thinking
the
kind
of
kind
of
circuitous
kind
of
root
of
it
was
to
slow
the
traffic
pattern
right.
So
this
is
theoretically
then
we'll
we'll
result
in
a
faster
moving
traffic
through
this
area.
D
L
G
I
struggle
with
the
street
because
it's
ostensibly
we're
putting
it
in
to
take
traffic
off
of
Taft's
corners,
but
then
we
don't
actually
want
too
much
traffic
or
too
fast
traffic.
So
it's
it's
I,
just
think
about,
like
I'm,
always
taking
the
cut
through
by
the
movie
theater
like
that
that
one,
because
there's
you
know
you
pass
those
houses
and
then
you
can
not
worry
about
houses
or
kids
on
bicycles
or
anything,
but
I
rarely
do
through
the
new
tests
going.
G
The
north
east
corner
I
rarely
go
through
there,
because
I
feel
like
I'm
driving
through
a
neighborhood
and
I,
don't
like
to
do
that.
If
I
can
avoid
it,
you
know.
So
it's
really
kind
of
a
it's
an
interesting
dilemma.
You
make
this
a
beautiful
neighborhood
with
with
houses
and
kids
on
bikes
and
the
people
are
no
longer
taking
it
as
a
way
to
avoid
task
corners
and
not
alleviating
the
traffic
there.
So
it's
I
appreciate
that
it's
a
I
appreciate
the
the
addition
of
the
bike
lanes
because
I
think
that's
it.
G
G
But
if
I
think
that
the
way
these
this
this
kind
of
Lane
is
that
they
were
talking
about
was
that
it's
actually
sidewalk
bike
path,
parking
traveling,
so
that
the
bike
path
is
on
the
inside,
because
that's
the
way
that
I
understood
it
to
be,
which
is
a
really
great
way,
to
keep
bikes
kids
on
bikes,
away
from
moving
cars.
Yeah.
G
Between
the
trees
and
the
parking
is
the
bike
path
right,
as
opposed
with
the
outside.
So
as
long
as
no
one
opens
their
driver's
side,
their
passenger
side
door,
it's
I
think
I.
Think
it's
a
I
think
it's
it's
a
really
interesting
way
to
sort
of
address
that
struggle.
We're
going
to
have
with
some
of
these.
L
L
I
think
it's
an
it's.
A
nice
hope
that
Trader
Lane
would
be
this
sort
of
very
quiet
street,
but
part
of
its
function
is
to
provide
an
alternate
route
to
28
an
alternate
route
out
of
a
major
retail
area
right,
and
so
you
know
it
in
sort
of
coming
coming
back
and
looking
at
the
design,
the
Planning
Commission
wanted
I
think
it
helps
meet.
Those
two
needs
well.
B
B
M
H
So
we'll
bring
this
back
to
the
board
this
evening
might
recall
last
update,
I
think
in
July
there
were
a
couple
last
issues
to
work
out:
Simon's
work
with
the
cow
Mountain
Community
Family
Center
board
on
those
last
couple
of
items.
He's
highlighted
them
in
a
memo
to
you
this
evening,
possible
action
item
for
the
board.
Consider
approving
the
renewal
of
the
license.
I've
added
some
draft
language,
as
our
town
attorney
just
take
a
final
look
at
everything
before
for
the
manager
where
to
sign
it.
So
I
can
turn
the
assignment.
M
M
You
know
a
single
Trail
is
being
closed,
because
that
does
happen
for
maintenance
and
sort
of
individual
wet
events.
It's
more
for
the
larger
scale.
Events
say,
for
example,
the
entire
trail
system
is
closed
during
the
spring
for
or
there's
some
sort
of
public
safety
issue
that
needs
to
be
resolved.
So
those
are
the
three
changes
that
have
been
made
since
July
other
than
that
the
licenses
as
you
reviewed
it
previously.
G
M
M
M
They
notify
us
when
all
the
trials
are
closed
and
the
way
we've
drafted
is
in
more
than
50.
So
in
my
time
here
that
has
only
happened
twice,
both
both
of
which
is
in
April,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
that
they
notify
us
is
that
it
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
you
know,
should
I
wish
to
do
so.
Visit
the
property
and
check
that
it
is
being.
M
You
know
it
is
necessary
to
protect
trails
if,
if
trials
were
being
closed,
sort
of
against
the
license
or
or
more
regularly
I'm,
pretty
confident
we
hear
about
that
and
we
do
retain
the
ability
to.
You
know
that
they'd
only
really
be
closing
the
trails
for
things
like
events
or
things
like
that,
and
so
a
lot
of
the
language
that
we
included
in
the
temporary
events.
M
G
F
M
F
M
Yeah
I
mean
we
do
we
do
post
it
on
our
website.
We
try
and
get
information
out
about
our
Trails,
so
at
Green
up
day
we
give
out
leaflets
we
try
to
make
sure
there's
always
leaflets
available
sort
of
in
the
in
the
office
and
town
clerk
has
some
as
well.
So
people
are
aware
that
there
are
other
places
to
go.
M
I
mean
it.
You
know
it
happens.
Very
rarely
and
I
think
cut
them
out,
might
put
it
on
frontboard
form
if
the
forest
is
closed.
But
I
can
certainly
look
at
that
as
well
and
make
an
action
item
for
me
to
make
sure
that
we
do
message
on
front
porch
for
them
that
there
are
alternatives
available
to
people.
D
B
H
Current
agreement
runs
out
in
October,
so
for
a
schedule.
Now
the
ordinance
amendments
that
you
approve
for
temporary
events.
We
wanted
that
to
run
through
the
60-day
appeal
period
before
we
sign
the
license.
So
mechanically
I
will
sign
this
later
this
month
after
the
town
attorney
reviews
it
so
everything's
lined
up.
So
thank
you.
H
I
distribute
that
to
the
district.
The
district
didn't
have
any
hesitation
on
what
the
town
proposed
accepts.
The
terms
as
as
outlined
there.
We've
posted
an
administrative
permit
for
the
lien
2
that
has
an
appeal
period
that
runs
out
later
this
week.
We
want
to
try
to
get
this
mou
in
order,
but
first
before
we
had
the
district
had
volunteers
going
on
building
the
lean
to
so
both
parties
had
an
understanding
of
of
the
expectations
here.
So
should
the
board
approve
the
cmou
this
evening?
D
G
G
F
M
It's
it's
the
the
idea
is,
it
would
tree.
Island
is
a
or
a
Bazi
menahani,
because
we're
calling
it
essentially
is
a
a
big
hill,
and
so
the
idea
is
it'd
be
put
at
the
top
of
that
Hill,
where
there's
currently
a
stump
Circle
classroom
that
the
kids
use
to
learn
about
the
natural
world,
so
it
would
be
up
there.
I
think
it
is
visible
from
the
the
parking
lot
and
it
is
that
this
area
of
land
is
not
used
solely
by
the
school
there's.
M
H
We
would
we'd
certainly
keep
an
eye.
I
think
there'll
be
enough.
People
interacting
with
the
space
from
from
the
school
district
and
other
other
folks,
like
any
other
kind
of
country
Park
in
town.
If
there's
something
that
that
needs
to
have
some
attention
to
it,
then
someone
with
alert
the
town
and
we
would
work
to
to
mitigate
that
issue.
You'd.
H
D
G
This
daily,
but
if
there's
somebody
sleeping
in
it,
it
was
the
way
I
read
this
at
least
the
school's
sort
of
responsible
door
school
hours,
and
then
it's
you
know
the
town's
responsibility
is
just
like
if
they
were
sleeping
on
the
in
the
rectum
wreck.
Building
over
here
or
something
would
be
kind
of
the
same
responsibilities,
I
would
say:
yep.
H
C
F
A
H
F
H
H
So
we'll
we'll
make
plans
for
for
that
approach
here
and
then.
Finally,
it's
come
up
in
a
couple
meetings:
I'm
trying
to
get
the
board
out
to
some
of
our
town
facilities,
I,
think
our
Public
Safety
facilities
and
our
Public
Works
facility
trying
to
think
how
we
might
be
able
to
fit
that
in
that
made
sense,
I
thought
I
had
maybe
we
could
potentially
could
start
a
couple
select
board
meetings
a
little
bit
earlier
hour
or
so,
or
you
know
a
little
more
than
an
hour
to
give
time
for
travel.
H
B
D
D
H
B
B
Note
when
we
did
this,
when
I
was
early
on
the
board,
we
had
my
daughter
Ella,
but
not
Julia
yet,
and
we
had
a
a
Honda
Odyssey
van
and
we
met
here
and
by
happenstance
the
entire
select
board
and
Rick
McGuire
and
Ella.
Because
babysitting
her
got
in
the
van
the
reporter
from
The
Observer,
and
we
went
from
Station
to
Station
to
Station
and
did
the
tours
and
then
came
back
here
and
started.
Our
meeting
and.
A
B
A
H
B
H
H
B
C
G
No
I
was
I'm
glad
it
came
up
about
splitting
the
the
hearing
on
the
chickens
and
the
dogs
versus
other
stuff.
I
I
watched
the
the
last
Planning
Commission
meeting
with
them.
It's
too
bad
because
they
work
so
hard
and
it's
so
much
work.
Heavy
lifting
to
do
the
really
hard
work
and
then
I'll
I'll
do
is
talk
about
chicken.
So.
A
G
We
should
I'd
be
interested
Eric
if
I
could
bounce
some
ideas,
maybe
off
of
you
and
I'll.
Let
you
know
quickly,
but
I
think
it
would
be
really
good
to
be
able
to
get
the
word
out
about
those
a
little
bit
more
because
you
know
I,
just
I
don't
like
to
to
us
to
have
to
act
on
something
and
then
find
out
afterwards
that
people
are
really
wound
up
about
it.
For.
G
Yeah
yeah
yeah
any
ideas
yeah,
because
I
I'm
learning
slowly
but
I
think
so.
A
lot
of
people
would
be
interested
in
knowing
how
how
this
is
going
to
affect
affordable
housing
growth
and
how
it
might
affect
all
growth.
But
it's
for
in
the
service
of
affordable
housing,
I
think
that
that
would
be
good
to
get
out
there
as
information.
This
is
an
excuse
to
have
an
informational
discussion
so
that
people
can
weigh
in
if
they
want.
F
A
D
Hey
moves
to
find
the
premature
public
knowledge
regarding
a
labor
relations.
Agreement
with
employees
and
contract
discussion
would
clearly
place
the
town
at
a
substantial
disadvantage
and
further
move
that
we
enter
executive
executive
session
to
discuss
a
labor
relations
agreement
and
a
contract
under
Title
1
sections,
313,
A1A
and
B
of
the
Vermont
statutes
and
the
evaluation
of
a
public
AI.
