We are going to open the meeting tonight with a continued public hearing for um six hour and you could introduce yourself again. Uh Nick Len Jones of Beach Engineers. Um I met most of you at the sitewalk last week. Um representing the applicant Sigour. Um we're proposing to do a very minimal site plan on this. Um what we're doing is combining Patriot ranges four, five, and six into one longer range and adding two additional ranges uh next to existing Patriot range 10. Um there's not a lot of dirt work needed for this. Um all they'll be doing is building a burm behind the shooting targets. Um and with that, if you have any further questions, I'd be happy to answer them.
That was a good site. That was great. You like it? Yeah. Cool. Pretty cool site. All works. Very unique. Yeah, to be able to see it in person and that that's great to visualize it. Absolutely. Um so I I um Yeah, thank you. The sidewalk was extremely helpful. I just wanted to check um Glenn if your comments um have been have been addressed. They took care of everything. Phenomenal. They removed the two that were originally there. Looks good. Perfect. Thank you for getting that done. Yeah, of course. Any other questions, discussion?
There was no no required conditions, correct? There's no Well, yeah, permit. Do they need that? I thought with with their changing and not doing okay the 11. They don't need AOT. Isn't that correct? We actually just checked with AOT and we are going for a permit. Oh, you are? We are. That's Y. Then they'll make that that should be a condition. But that's that's the only one that you Yes. understand.
I'd make a motion then that we uh approve this uh site plan application uh conditional upon receiving the state AOT alteration of terrain permit when that comes and uh condition good for 120 days. Second. You are approving an affidavit sir. Yeah. Okay. this expedited site plan be recorded right this as we discussed last meeting and that that affidavit is in your packet so your motion was to approve the expedited site plan and the affidavit written by Mr. Greenwood and and the conditions are an AOT permit. I didn't speak loud enough and you you missed I got you. I got you. Thank you.
Thank you. Um so does the affidavit have to we have to hold on to this until they get the permit? Yeah, I need to do the I need to add into that affidavit that we made. Um and you're good with the other things. They're more kind of administrative. Okay. Um, we did we had a second. I seconded. Okay. Any more discussion? Any public comments? Ready to vote? All in favor? I I. Any uh opposed extensions? Okay.
Great work. Thank you. So, what we'll what we'll do Nick is is Glenn will will recraft the affidavit. Yep. Um I'm going to hold on to that affidavit until you provide me with an approved AOT permit. Y Okay. And then we'll record that the registry of deeds and then I'll get that out to you. I think we submitted it either today or yesterday, so you guys should be getting a copy of it. Yep. Just don't forget we need to have that before we can record that. Yeah, absolutely. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. All right. Um, standard permit application for solid waste transfer station in Epan. Um, can you give us a little more?
I printed the entire permit and put it in that binder. I'm only printing one copy. It It's like 350 pages or something ridiculous. Um, so if you'd like to bring that home and share it, you may. I have provided it to you via email so you can read it on your computer if you wish but I do have one printed copy and I wanted to make that available for the computer. I guess I would just pinch just one small comment that uh I was I was concerned that a number of area towns had expressed had expressed um
their thought to dees that dees should not approve this permit uh for some they didn't actually say for what period of time. It appears they were looking for more information, but none of the letters from the various towns indicated what questions the towns had in regard to that permit approval. And in reading through this long list of 300 pages here back in the spring and summer of 2004, not 2005, not last summer, but 2004, this permit was uh submitted to dees by resource and 2000 two. Okay. In was in the spring and summer of 2024.
24. Thank you.
24 and Brentwood received two registered letters. one uh went to the town clerk and the other went to the chairman of the board of Slaughterman uh indicating that this plan or this application was complete and and submitted to the state. So, I think that people were caught kind of flatfooted not knowing perhaps that this information did come out two years ago. And there's nothing certainly wrong with asking questions of the state of dees uh as to where in the process this application is. In the speaking with mine yesterday, you can speak and tell the board what you plan to do. So, this is the permit to the uh application to the state for permit. Not we're they're still not at the planning,
right? They're apparently not at the planning board stage in Epic. Um I because Bruce brought this issue up. Um I called over to NHD, yes, but I did it late in the afternoon and there was no one available to talk with me. So, I'll call them again. the the question was where does it stand um both at the state level as far as their approval process and when is that when do they anticipate that Eping would be providing input to them and are they having public meetings that would be the other question as part of their process like when
they have to I'm sure they have to do a site plan review because it's still an enterprise in the Yeah no I meant the state When is the state going to have a public meeting? Yeah, I'll ask them that. Yes. Okay. You know, there's certainly plenty of legitimate questions towns and the butters may have. Uh I would just think the Brown would be better served not to come out against something we're not really sure what we're against. We ought to kind of go through the hearing process and learn as much as we can. where it was filed two years ago. It's kind of surprising that dees hasn't done some remedial review of this or
I'm sure they're going to tell me that they've done quite a bit with it. I just don't know what they've done because we've since then we've received things from dees notifications. Yep. Every everything that's come into my office I've either scanned and provided to you. Right. And it's there's it's we've received at least two notifications in the last year, but they never indicate that anything is really happening.
Yeah. 121025, 12726. Uh and then that letter from the Lampray River Advisory Committee on 3326. There was some comment from other towns about how I was going to wear the roads out in our local here and the roads that they'd be traveling on are state roads and they're talking about 700 ton a day. So working in the hardwood business for 40 years and shipping lumber very something's very heavy. The the trash trucks can't weigh any more than any commercial truck on the road. So they have a gross vehicle weight of 80,000 pounds. So if you divide the 700 tons by 20 tons of 40,000 pounds, which would be the tear weight on a truck, you're talking 35 loads of trash going in there, coming in or out per day. And you look at the number of trucks coming out of the Walmart distribution center in Raymond, plus the other couple thousand trucks on 101 every day. You know, I don't see that's I think that was kind of a hyperbolic concern that some towns were making that it was going to quote wear out our roads.
Inside that application, there is a pretty comprehensive traffic study. Yes, sir. And and it says that 80% of the tractor trailers will be traveling down 101. And the 10-wheeler traffic is sort of divided. I think 60% down 27 and 10% or 5% down North Road. Um, but there's a really good traffic study in there if you want to look at that.
There's a lot of good questions. I mean, one of the assertions that was made, there'd be a lot of trash coming in from out of state, but essentially, if you read the permit application, it talks about waste generated in the state of New Hampshire. And actually, that material once it's processed is going out of state to Massachusetts to be shipped by rail to other disposal locations around the country. We all know that we need to come up with a solution to our waste processing because they're saying in 10 years the turnkey operation in Rochester is going to be full. So, it's something that we need and something we ought to ask a lot of questions about, but maybe something we don't need to, you know, go out and and make comment on based on information we simply don't have. I think for this board um it's our role in the process is when there's an application into Eping and there's that process of whether or not it's a a project of regional impact you know we can look at that and talk about whether or not we want to comment but the state process I would say individual citizens select board is representative of the town but I don't I don't feel like the planning board necessarily
unless you guys feel differently. Um, needs to comment until it becomes a planning board. Yeah, I'm sure Mark will let us know when the the town of Eping has a site plan application. Obviously, he will. And I called them and they said they would provide that to me when it came in. That would be the normal process. In fact, we had a letter from Jan from RPC stating just that that we have yet to receive a application and she said in her letter that Although she can't be sure until it's accepted by the town the application that is that it'll probably be declared a project of regional impact which then again and it should be
but remember that's a local decision. Planning board makes that decision and if they choose not to isn't a lot of somebody then has to sue which doesn't really happen very oft. Yeah. Based on past projects, I think we've seen for the vast majority of those have been declared regionally impact. We can we can still comment even if they don't, right? We could send them a letter. Are we do we have any town property that that it's actually um the frontage of that lot is on Brentwood
is in is in I phrase is on is in the town of Brentwood but that's a tax map number that it's theirs right so I I I was hoping there was a town owned parcel that wasn't a butter because then we oh you know what I think would get a direct Let me let me look real quick because whether they declared it regional impact or not, we'd be aware that we can, you know, we we'd be sure to be notified. But they did declare us as a Butters as evidenced by the registered mailing.
Well, we will be getting an official Butters notice. We do own approximately 47 acres. That's perfect. That's perfect because that just means if if in fact they don't declare it one, we're already in a butter. Oh, there's another parcel because all the declaration does is give you a butter status. Yeah, we already have a butter status. Two20 two acres. Yeah, we will get if they if they got nasty and didn't declare it. We don't lose anything because we're a butters. So, but they did declare it. They did they did declare us in butters by sending us.
So, that that's my only question. The state Yeah, that's the state that did that. No, this is a resource to do this in in their application. They they did it because the state required them. Required them to do it. Yeah. So, we are officially by we we will get a registered letter. I would assume because we are actual abutters. That's why for for a process like that typically there's a radius like within so many feet they have to notify people even by state law but for a waste facility might I don't know in New Hampshire but it might be bigger I think it is bigger
and so you wouldn't necessarily have to be in a butter isn't a butter and selta received a butter's notice so um do you recall seeing those notices. Who did you say they were? They were in the spring and summer of 2024. So that was before Mark's time before Mark. Every p scrap of mail that comes to my office, but it didn't come Yeah. is immediately scanned and put into some sort of file and if it's relevant to this board, those didn't come to the I immediately send it out to you.
These letters came one to the one to the board of Slutton and the other one went to the town. So the town was officially notified. So maybe can you tell the town clerk if there's if there are ever any notices that have to do with a budding property, they'll give you a copy. Yeah. No, I mean, normally they do. Yeah. Yeah. I've never not gotten them. Julie even sends me septic permits. So, all right. Anything else on that topic? Next topic. Um motions to elect chair, vice chair, and secretary. First, I just want to say welcome, Nate. Good to have you here. Congratulations.
We usually get a little speech first. Oh, wow. That's so mean. You thought you were nice, Bruce. You could You could comment on the candy, the refreshments. Please just move it down closer to you. That would be better. No, we're glad have you here. Thank you. Looking forward to uh working and learning from every each and every one of you. So, appreciate. All right. Well, the floor is open for motions. Go ahead. Um I'll make a motion for Kristen Aldred uh to be chair. I'll second that. I don't know if I'm supposed to be involved in this.
You could give a little speech if you wanted to appropriate. Uh I appreciate it. I'm uh I was hoping to, you know, at least do this for another year because I know we're going to have things coming in based on our new ordinances. So, I'm happy to do that if everyone Well, even if you weren't, we're still voting. Yeah. All right. Any discussion? No. All in favor? I'll abstain. All right. Next one. I'll move uh Stephanie Kiza for vice chair. second that
comments. I'm happy to do it, but if anyone else would be interested also happy to let other people have the chance. No more discussion. All in favor? I I abstension. All right. And then I'll I'll make a motion that we appoint Doug Marino as board secretary. I'll second. Um, so the idea here is we realized when both Steph and I were not here physically that um, we don't have anybody else to open the meeting and our third string quarterback. Yeah,
I'm going to make a Jets joke. That's okay. I've heard I've heard Okay. Um, so yeah, so if I hadn't been able to call in the our rules say that the the chair opens the hearing, so we just want to have all of our races covered, but also appreciate everything that you're doing, Doug. Um, any discussion? Was there a second to that motion? Thank you. All in favor? I I abstain. Thank you. And then I have I have one more nomination to make and I would ask the board to appoint Doug Finn as an alternate to the board which he has agreed to
and uh ask the board to authorize Mark to drop the paperwork uh so that Doug can come in and be sworn in as a an alter. I'll second the motion and I'll also say for the record that even if he didn't agree, I'd be seconding the motion anyway. I'd just send him out. Yeah. Any discussion? All in favor? Hi, welcome back, Doug. All right, that's funny. Now I don't have to take him off of the mailing list, I guess. That was main reason 100%. But I didn't want to take them off the email list. Okay. Uh place to grow zoning verification. This is um
of individual authorized to sign zoning documents. So that is me. This is the same document that you saw last year. Same number of clients. Same location. Same location. They they have to submit this every year. Yes, they do. Just part of their state licensing. It is right. There'll be a probably another one coming. Deborah Clark. So, there's no motion necessary. Correct. The chair can just sign it. Oh, sorry. Go ahead. Make a motion. What do you think? No, you can just sign it. All of this is just a verification. I mean, I'm happy to make a motion, but I don't know if it's necessary. There's no decision making. Okay. Um, meeting minutes, March 5th.
I'll move the March move approval of the March 5th meeting minutes. Second. Any changes or discussion? All in favor? I. Any abstensions? I'll stand. Um, and I'll make a motion that we approve the uh March 13th sitewalk meeting minutes for six hour. I'll second. Good. Okay. Um, any discussion or changes? All in favor? I I I
Any abstensions? Um, we did sign the contract with SF. Um, I was going to say SEC, but that's something different. Um, so they are on board. Have we onboarded them?
They are. They've actually started looking at plans for us. They came to a meeting yesterday. Um the engineer will be working with came and met with Joe Fzone about um picking up the the inspection requirements for the road work over at the rivers river run. So yes, there she's energetic as all get out. Terrific.
Very communive, very happy. Had a long conversation today about what needs to be inspected over there at Riverrun. Um, I end up calling uh and talking to some people over there at Riverrun and why they wanted the inspection and really everything needs to be inspected that has anything to do with anything that we're going to end up taking over. So, even if the sewage system is parallel and in the right of way of the town of Brentwood, we want our town engineer there to inspect it and and to witness the pressure test for it. Um, have you asked them for a quote on what we should charge for driveway permit inspections going forward? Right now, we've already changed the driveway inspection fee to $300.
Okay. Um, but I will definitely double down on that. I can make sure that's okay with them, right? And see where they're going to be at. And maybe they need to do a couple sure that that works. Okay. other business. You had your
Well, I I I I realize I should have raised this earlier when we were talking about the Eping situation, but the um I had to go back into my email and I just wanted to make sure of this, but at conservation last meeting, u the chair Rob Wolfchuk had raised this uh issue as well, and there was a semiconensus. I know, you know, Bruce had raised some of the I'm not on the conservation comm. No, but he was raising it, you know, in in the public, you know, as a some of the issues and and concerns about um putting the cart before the horse or something.
Yeah, I think I think my grandfather, you've heard this expression before, my grandfather would say, don't he would c he would suggest that we not race our motors till we made sure our rear end was in gear. There you go. something that's cart before the horse or whatever. That's a good good engines racing rear end here. Yeah. But as it turned out, there was at least some consensus on the board for Rob uh to write a letter. So he he did um I I can paraphrase it or I could just circulate it if Yeah. Do you want to send it around? Yeah. Is it to the state?
It's to the dees. And basically what it's saying is to defer you know doing anything on permitting until there's more time for review uh some sort of regional impact study. So you know it was pretty benign but I I wanted to at least let you know that that had taken place and I I can forward that to you. Okay. Yeah. I think you can just use the planning board email and then everybody will get it. Okay. Was there any qu specific questions asked Paul and any specific concerns mentioned by the Hong Kong in terms of what they were concerned about?
No, just the general in general. Yeah. Or the generality of it. Yeah. We have questions. We're not sure what they are. But those those things will come out I think as far as once approval or the application is submitted disappear. Good deal. All right. I I do have some stuff. Doug Finnen told me as the representative to the RPC, I was to prepare a 30-minute presentation.
So, just a quick update. Uh, at the last meeting we had on Wednesday, uh, they talked they talked in detail about a hazardous waste study that they did. And just to give you the the high level view on that, only 4.1% of the people in the in the uh Rockingham County area participated. Brentwood had 309 participants. And as a result, what they're looking at right now is they're looking at how do we change the hazardous waste uh how we do it. You know, we either do the um single day events, which is what we're doing now, or we go to curbside pickup. And they the pros and cons of that and or having a permanent facility which raises obviously its own uh batch of concerns. Where would it be? Who would staff it? How would it be staffed? Right now they spent 300 336,000 on the single day events and they they what they said was they felt that a a permanent facility would be the lowest cost option to do this. I myself questions about that, how you could run a permanent facility at $336,000 a year. But, you know, they they did say that there are some proposed to that is that they'd be filling up bins instead of taking them out in partial bins like they do now with the single day events. Um maybe by having a permanent facility, it would actually be more hazardous waste being dropped off because it's more accessible for people. So, it's at the study stage right now. They they're looking into how they could get funding for that. And um as we know the state is not really free with the money right now. So that could be something where you know if if they did it as a uh as a county then that would be passed on obviously in our taxes. But again I think there's a ways to go on this and right now they're going to stick with the single day events.
Anything I miss on that? No not on the household hazardous waste. Um the only other RPC thing um that I would note is um I wasn't done but Okay. Okay. No. Oh no. Go ahead. No, no, go ahead. So, wait. So, would this be a a regionwide like the the borders of the RPC? Anybody could use that facility. People within the the county. Yes. Within the RPC. Okay.
And uh and again, it gets down to what would the locations be? Is it just one location? Would it be different locations? So, the driveability would be easier for people. But the thing I found interesting and then I'll move on to the next topic is that at 309 participants our cost is only 11,700. Let's take it to Portsmith in the spring. 286 participants at 50,000. So I'm going to be sending in a note to the person who did the survey. Why was our cost so low or do I not ask why our cost was so low?
You know, but our our cost was the least out of anybody really. It might be what the Brentwood residents brought, the type of garage that that's that's generally what that results in. And quite frankly, it's just um it's so little accomplished when you're doing a new, you know, three. No, you're you're doing three or five days a year.
Um the the benefit of an open facility is that people first off aren't in the mindset that they're saving everything for a year because a lot of people and a lot of people with kids don't like the thought of saving a lot of getting their house someplace for a year to bring to some place on a Saturday morning the weekend something goes wrong for the family and then all of a sudden you don't even get it there even though it's been sitting around your garage or your basement for a year.
Um, and it so we had something has to be done. Um, it just isn't a high enough priority for people yet. I can attest that I do get several phone calls about residents wanting to know what to do with an item. And unfortunately, I have to tell them, well, that's one day a year to get rid of that TV or whatever they want, microwave, whatever they're trying to get rid of. And sometimes I have to suggest, well, maybe some boy scout troops in the area are doing one of those fund drive thing, you know, fundraiser things to drop off whatever item. So, there's definitely a need for it.
Yeah, it depending on what it is. Couple options. Um the transfer station in Raymond's you have to pay but I've done that a bunch. Any I think metal is free um because there's value but other things you you pay and it's it's kind of worth it if you're clearing stuff out. Yeah. The other thing is small appliances and and you'd have to look at their website to see what they take exactly but Staples takes a lot of stuff. They've been doing it voluntarily for like 15 years. That sort of Yeah. So, I've dropped off coffee makers, all kinds of batteries. Yep. Really? They have a list of what they would consider a small appliance on their website.
Yeah, they have a list on their website and what they won't accept. Okay. I was definitely on the radar screen. You know, they did make the comment out there. There aren't any permanent facilities in New Hampshire. That's the nice thing about the Raymond BPW location there. You can go there, you know, anytime. And you're right, if you have a TV, you don't want to let that sit around the house for ever. So, it's a quick, easy run to Raymond up. I do too. Um, I don't think so. They do not.
I don't I don't I don't think so. The other thing they talked about was a a stream crossing navigator project and uh what that was there is actually a database now based on surveys done on streams that cross on roads you know and showing what the uh you know whether it's fish cross underneath there you know large flow is in danger to during flood season. Um so actually a town can go on there and click on their particular screen and they will have all the details for that and it's to help get the right call sizes.
So it was uh I think it was done in conjunction with UNH and so it's quite an extensive database from that they put on the website up on the screen for us. So it's something that's out
I will let my esteemed partner talk about the legislative Yes. So, so um we do have um a piece of good news that will probably not come to fruition, but it does but but but it is still a positive sign of some bipartisan um movement. Um so, the state senate passed legislation that would hike tolls on out of state um out of state drivers. Um, and um, I think it's worth noting that the Republicans do have a majority in the state senate. And so I want to commend the bipartisan majority of the state senate for taking that step. Um, I personally am very disappointed that the governor is continuing to put politics ahead of public safety. Um, and um, so she's made it clear that she's going to veto it. Um, if it even reaches her desk. Um, I think it's very ironic that a governor who ran on a platform of not massing up New Hampshire is prioritizing Massachusetts motorists over fixing our roads and and infrastructure. Um, so I'll leave it at that. Um um happy with the state senate. Very disappointed in the governor.
Sounds like a win-win. We make money when they come up and buy their booze and cigarettes and we can also charge them for the well and to take local money to repair like on-ramps or something like they were trying to move some money around that is I'm not 100% sure. I heard I heard a little bit about that but I I don't want to give incorrect. They need they need the money. The only way to identify an out ofstate driver is an out of state easy pass. Okay, that is true. Yes.
Now let me let me finish. Right. So, if you look like myself, right, I'm looking at getting a Maine easy pass because I have family that lives very far up into Maine. And if I want to go visit them, the majority of the tolls that I'm ever going to drive through are the state of Maine. I would never get a New Hampshire easy pass. I would either get a Massachusetts one or a Maine one because there are no tolls in the state of New Hampshire that really affect me whatsoever. I pay 75 cents to get on, you know, 93. Not a big deal. go go up to Maine. That's good 10 bucks out of your pocket to drive up to Maine. So, I'm gonna get a Maine easy pass. So, what you have to keep in mind when you say he they don't want to target out of state drivers. Most of the time, I bet if you look, most New Hampshire people own an out of state easy pass.
That's an interesting point. I hadn't thought about I didn't know you could do that. I didn't know you could do that either. Yeah. They don't care what state you're from. They don't ask you your home address. Well, I got it when I lived there and I just I've just You I you online if you go on you can get a Maine easy pass and get the break and tolls in Maine. A lot of people stop that. A lot of people do it and I don't blame them because there are no tolls in years. Well, but you're doing it illegally. You're not telling anyone you No, I have an account. You just You have an account. Yeah, you have an account. They don't care where you're from. The the toll itself is tied to
the state where you drive, but administered by whatever state. Yeah. So the the money still goes to where you're driving. Yeah. I had family that lived in New York. I was actually thinking about getting a New York easy pass because you got to go across to George Washington. You know what I mean? Or Right. I thought easy pass was easy pass. So like if I'm driving in New York. No, it's it's state dependent. Meaning you only get the break on on the toll if it's in New Hampshire. If you have a New Hampshire easy pass, you're paying full boat out of state. All right, we can probably we can probably take this discussion till after we um it's it's easy, but you're still paying New York rates. Is there any other
not not a discounted easy pass rate? Sorry. Is there any other business? We can keep this discussion going later, but um any other planning board business? I I did think on a couple of the legislative updates they had is that they're looking at uh taking the toll the fines for handheld uh fines going from 100 to 250. But the kicker if you cause an accident and after the third offense they'll stop pulling your license. So I thought that was and the law no after infraction after the third infraction they they'll pull your license. Correct. Correct. Why are they giving you three choices? I know.
Just It's been a while for five years now. I saw somebody on Middle Road. They they pulled out of um Just take your license, Dear Hill. So, they had just turned and they're on Middle Road and Yeah. Not looking at the road at all. Scary. One time. What is that? You don't get three chances with DUIs. You get a DUI, get a DUI. Write a letter, Glenn. It's just it's just foolish. Okay. I've been hyped up, so I've done my job. Good job. All right. Anything else? Okay. Um Oh, uh schedule adjustments.
Um we are going to adjust the May meetings. So, it won't be the first week in May. It'll be the second week in May and the fourth week in May. Does that work for folks? I'm good with that. Disagreement. Doesn't work for me. Well, you'll be away. The fourth one, I'll be away. Oh, this is just for one more. Yeah. And and if there's not much on the docket, we can also cancel one. It's right after Memorial Day.
So, there might be a lot of people. We have some members that may be going away and want to be able to provide the best services that I can for the town of Brentwood and its members. But if there's we should keep that in mind if um something's coming up in the latter part of May that we might want to push it if you're not going to be here if it's actually the second Thursday I'm in Newfields. Oh, I'm I'm sorry that I have you think this through
other I mean I I you get my comments before the meetings anyway. So Okay. Yeah, we can play it by ear and see what the meetings look like and and you know, depending on how busy it is, maybe we'll need more comments from Glenn than usual or you know, like you said, we can always if there's um nothing that sensitive, we have we always have the option of because I scheduled my vacation to not impact you guys at all. But you're making me impact you even though I didn't want to. I didn't do that at all.
And I say that without shame. Were we anticipating July 1st to bring business to us when the new law goes into effect for multi-unit housing? Oh my god. We've already seen we've already been in we're seeing it way before July 1. Really? Yeah. Yes. Because our our ordinance took effect the day that the town clerk certified that a majority vote Yeah. accepted it. Uh let me just say that meetings have already happened yeah with engineers and already have land that's plural about very specific projects. So, so should we be working on site plan regulations and
well, one of the big things we wanted to do with the steward I mean with the plan in Hampshire thing was just that but right we're going to have to my my thought is that we do something as quickly as we can that's imperfect and get the most important things on paper and then we can fix it. You know, we can I'll do a I'll look at I'll look at some design standards from surrounding communities that have them. There aren't a lot of them. I think we should just do that as fast as there's no law against copying other communities. No, not at all. And we can I mean it's
if they're in if they're in site plan review, they're simply there one meeting or we just have to post them and have a meeting and then we adopt them. So it's a public hearing process, right? A public hearing process. Yeah. Yeah. But we could in theory between now and the April meeting we could have a draft of something. We could have a hearing later in April and adopt. Yeah. And then you know if we could if we have the shared or not we could you know we'll have more time to build it out if we aren't happy with it. But I think it'd be good to have something on the books. Yeah.
Okay. Any other business? I make a motion to adjurnn. Second. All in favor? I I All right. Mic.
