Planning Board - Regular Meeting

Okay, this meeting will come to order.

Come to order, please. Finally can get this started. Okay. Uh, good evening everyone. This is a regular meeting of the planning board. First item on the agenda um is the approval of minutes. We have minutes from the regular meeting of March 11th and the uh special meeting of uh March 4th. Does anyone have any comments on these minutes? I don't either. So, may I have a motion to approve both sets of minutes, please? Moved. Second. Motion is made and seconded to approve the minutes of the March 11th meeting and the March 4th meeting. Is there any further discussion? All those in favor say I.

I. O nay. Chair votes I. Those minutes are approved. There's no correspondence this evening. Correct. And we have a number of changes to the agenda this evening. I think Mr. Chairman, if I might, you can just go through the agenda in order since everything is going to be addressed anyway. So, no need to do them one at a time. Yeah, just do do each in order in the order that's on the agenda.

Okay. Um, so we won't mention any agenda modifications. The first item is item 4A. Is there someone here to speak for 4A? Mr. Gerard the board. Uh, Gerard Galvin for Mel Melo Realy Inc. and the Codington Cove Land Condominium Association. I was contacted by We can't hear you. Can you hear me now? a little bit better.

Uh my client uh was unable to attend tonight and they wanted to be here to continue that dialogue with you about the siding issue. Uh so I reached out to Ron today requesting a continuence. Um he did not think that would be a problem. We're we're asking for a continuous to the next regular meeting. Okay. So u may I have a motion to continue this item to the next regular meeting of May 13th? Motion made. Second. Motion is made and seconded to continue item 4A to the regular meeting on May 13th. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say I. I oppose. Nay.

Chair votes I. That item is continued. Next item is item 4B. Uh yes. Uh good evening uh Mr. Chairman, members of the board, David Martin on behalf of the applicant. Uh we've submitted a letter requesting uh that this matter be withdrawn without prejudice. Okay. So may I have a motion to withdraw this item without prejudice? Motion made. Second.

Motion is made and seconded to withdraw item 4B without prejudice. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say I. Nay. Thank you. Chair votes I. That item is withdrawn without prejudice.

The next item is 4 C. Uh I haven't read the others in. I think we've already read these in once. So you can uh proceed. Item 4 C is the application of the Sweet Berry Farm. Excuse me, Mr. Chairman. For the record, I'll be recusing. Okay. Petition. Okay. When it comes forward, okay, but uh Okay. Mr. Gerard.

Good evening, Mr. Chair. Gerard Galvin uh for Sweet Berry Farm. Uh I think Mr. Wansky uh would like to address the board about a notice issue that came to our attention just the other day, which is the reason we're looking for a continuence.

That's right. As as the board knows through the communications over the last day, um we were informed or or learned yesterday that certain abutters to the subject property that should have been um noticed were not. Um this was a mistake on the part of the planning department. It had nothing to do with the applicant. Um purely a clerical issue. And just to explain it a little bit further, um the applicant had provided in a butters list including everyone within 500 ft of the subject property. And that was done in order to capture um particularly the Windham Hill neighborhood where there's an open space parcel within 200 ft of the subject property. Um, all owners of the Windham Hill development are also owners of that open space parcel even though their houses might not be within 200 feet of the subject property. So, they were uh supposed to be notified. Yesterday, we learned that some of those folks were not notified of the of the hearing and therefore we do need to uh renotice and revertise the hearing.

Okay. Thank you, Ron. Uh so in the meantime we uh have also uh been in some contact with some of the uh objectors and council for the objectors. Some of those uh council have indicated they have some legal issues that they may be uh submitting briefs to the solicitor's office on. Um we'll be working with them to try to make sure uh anything submitted to you is done so timely with enough time in advance. Jordan, can you talk to the mic, please? Yeah, we'll try to work uh Thank you. work to a voluntary and agreeable schedule to make sure any legal briefs that are required get to you well in advance of the next hearing. That would be great. Okay. Thank you. Okay. Thank you.

You would like this continued to the next meeting? Yes. And uh one other I think quick order of business because this might push us past uh 90 days. I just want to put on the record that you have to request it. Well, we we agree to that continuence. Okay. Very good. Thank you. Okay. Motion to continue this until our May meeting. As a second, please. Second. Motion is made and seconded to continue item 4 C to the next regular meeting on May 13th. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say I. I. I. Oppos? Nay.

Chair votes I. That motion that item is continued to the next regular meeting. Thank you. Thank you.

The next item is item 4 C. I'm sorry, 4 D. Uh and um since we have not yet received the comments from the town solicitor, um we have a motion to continue this item to the next regular meeting on May 13th. So moved. Second. Motion is made and seconded to continue item 4D to the next regular meeting on May 13th. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say I. I.

Oppose. Nay. Chair votes I. That item is continued to May 13th. The next item is item 4E. And again, because we have not yet received the comments from the town solicitor, may I have a motion to continue this item to the next regular meeting of May 13th? So moved. Second. Motion is made and seconded to continue item 4E to the next regular meeting on May 13th. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say I. I. Opposed? Nay. Chair votes I. That item is continued to May 13th.

Mr. Chairman, if I might, um, the next two items will be heard. Um, item 5B should be relatively quick, so you may want to do that one first. I was going to move that one up. Thank you.

Um, that is one modification that we will retain. So, the next item we will take up is item 5B. Item 5B, a request of Wave Pond Hotel LLC for a one-year extension of the combined preliminary plan and final plan approval for a minor land development project for construction of an 8 room motel, pool, and associated site work. Property is located at 38 Purgatory Road, Assessor's Plat, 116NW, Lot 13. And Mr. Chairman, and for the record, my office is recused from this matter.

So, we have no solicitor at this point, but we probably won't need one. Mr. Martin.

Uh, yes. Uh, Mr. Chairman, uh on behalf of Wave Pond LLC, we're requesting a one-year extension from the previously granted uh relief uh associated with the property located at 38 Purgatory Road. Um the relief is being requested uh because the client has been uh looking at particular financing issues and reassessing um so the layout with respect to this. I do anticipate coming back with a a revised petition, but out of an abundance of caution, I wanted to um request this this extension while we work through some of those other issues. You're requesting a one-year extension.

That is correct. And this is allowable. Sure. Yeah. It's at the discretion of the board. Um the the current approval expires on May 31 of this year. So, the extension would bring it to May 31 of 27. Okay. Okay. So, may I have a motion to extend this for one year? So, moved. Second. Motion is made and seconded to um extend a one year uh extension to item uh 5B. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say I. I oppose. Nay. Chair votes I. That extension is granted.

Thank you. The next item on the agenda is item 5A. This is a public hearing application of James H. Clawson trustee for master plan approval of a major land development project including a proposed 10,000 square foot office building and associated parking and other site work and including requested waiverss from certain design standards of section 521 of the Middletown rules and regulations regarding the subdivision and development of land including sections 521.1 pointb.1 and 521.3D.3. Property is located at 30 Valley Road and further identified as tax assessors 107 NE lot 402C.

Mr. Mara, before that, may I have a motion to open the public hearing? So moved. Second. Motion is made and seconded to open the public hearing. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say I. Opposed? Nay. Chair votes eye. The public hearing is open.

Thank you. Um for the record, David Martin on behalf of the Jame of James Clawson, the trustee of the U James Clawson Trust, uh before the board this evening is a master plan approval, the sort of conceptual approval uh site plan for consideration of an office building at 30 Valley Road. Uh this property uh was before the board a number of years ago um as part of a uh a subdivision, a three lot subdivision. Two of those lots have been sold off and have been developed. Um the there's the uh the mini golf uh uh facility as well as uh the um it's a Rhode Island Orthopedic um building um that that is adjacent to this. Uh so this is the the final lot and the uh the the landowner is seeking approval to construct roughly a 10,000 square foot um office building on the property. Use was permitted by Wright. Um and we're here for uh the major land development approval. We are seeking uh as filed two waivers. one waiver to allow for um or or to not have a five- foot landscape strip on the east side of the building uh adjacent to the parking and um to allow for uh a small parking lot on the front of the building would be the second waiver. We went through u the uh technical review committee. The technical review committee uh at least at this master plan level um reviewed the materials and

um provided a positive recommendation uh to the board. Um we then uh had a site visit um to orient the the board with respect to the to the site and what is located there. Um it's my understanding that um um board members might be concerned about uh landscaping issues. Um and uh so while we're certainly going to be addressing landscaping, there is no landscape plan that's um been filed or submitted in connection with the master plan approval because it is something that's done at the preliminary plan level. So it it's not that we're not going to have landscape screening along property lines and meet all of those requirements. It's just not being dealt with at this type of level. Uh so it will definitely be addressed. Um we also understand that uh the board was concerned about or potentially concerned about the uh uh uh landscaping on the uh east side of the building. Um, and that is something that I I believe we can uh well, we can't address uh tonight, we can certainly address trying to eliminate that type of uh waiver request uh with a revised plan at at the preliminary level. Um this evening I have uh Lynn Small from Northeast Engineers uh who prepared the site plans, the development impact statement. um to testify as well as Daniel Herkinrother uh from Herk Works uh who is the architect of record um and prepared the uh the elevations and renderings. So I'll ask uh him to testify as well. So

at this point if I could ask uh Lynn to uh come up and uh get sworn in. I'd like to just say something. For years now we have been dealing with master plan. master plan. What does that tell your brain? It's it's a big deal. We need to call it something else, not the master plan or something because we get all excited about we got to do this and do that. And it's really just a skeleton of what's going to happen. So, I don't know if we can take up some language so people don't get excited. Is that something that the state law has? So,

we got guys up there. Let's fix it. Yeah. Yes. You're here for master plan approval. That's right. Which is really a concept plan. It It is. Yeah. Yeah. Hello. Uh Lynn Small, Northeast Engineers, um Six Valley Road, Middletown. Before you say anything, I just would like to commend you on a development impact statement that I thought was very well prepared. Oh, great. Thank you. I don't do everything myself. I have a whole that that's true, but I think Northeast Engineers does a good job with the development impact statement. Thank you very much.

Um Lynn, can you um sort of explain the existing site conditions uh as well as u you know any unique features of the property?

Uh absolutely. So the site is currently undeveloped. Um it is has ranged over the years as being you know vegetated and scrub brushed and then mowed. It's been an undeveloped property for my entire 27 year career. Um so uh it's it's exciting to actually see it go forward. Um there are two wetland areas um on the property. one at the very east side um which straddles the lot line between this property and the medical facility next door. And then on the um west side we have a wellland area that is directly adjacent to Bailey Brook which is ve is along the very west border of the property. Uh we have a 200 foot watershed protection district. Um that is that gray gray line that runs almost halfway through the property. Um and we um if you drive by the site, you'll see some I don't know specific plant types, but there's some like um arborvite type plants that are are planted on the site. Those are in a result of uh freshwater wetlands program asked us to put plantings in the ground because we had um had the property mowed so we could do the survey and the mowing was a little more ambitious than we wanted. So we ended up having to do some plantings to uh fix that situation. So that is adjusted with the DEM. Um and those plant things are part of when they did their initial review of the overall project. Um so those will stay in place. Uh we we have actually the utilities for this project. I don't know if if you're

aware, but this section of Valley Road has no sewer or water. Um so these projects get their water and sewer from the development behind it or north north of the project the um residential subdivision behind there. So that is the intent um for water and sewer. Um we do have electric available from Valley Road side. Um the project will be subject to state permits. Valley Road is a state road um which will be providing our access and frontage. Um so we'll have a DOT permit. Uh we'll have over an acre of disturbance. So we will have a RIM ripes permit and um due to the proximity of the wetlands we will have RIM freshwater wetlands um permit for these pro for this project. And we'll have all those in place,

Dave. And and we'll have all those in place for the the next phase of the permitting. Is that correct?

Yes. Before you will see us for preliminary review, we'll have those state permits in hand. Um so the proposed um development includes um sheet four, please. Uh the proposed development includes um an office building um with access from Valley Road as we've uh discussed and then parking in the on the east side of the um project. Um we have drainage features are focused on the west side of the project um as that's the downhill side. So we have we're capturing our runoff convey it into our water quality treatment device and then discharges to towards Bailey's Bailey's Brook where it all goes today. Um we do have the water and the sewer coming from the back as you can see um on the site plan and um the electric coming from Valley Road. There's an existing, if you're familiar with the project next door, they have their drainage feature in the front of the property. Uh, so it goes valley road drainage basin parking building um for the medical facility. Um, so we're conveying their storm water from their outfall through our project site. Kind of have to do that. You can't just dam it up, you know, you need to let it continue to to go through. So that's what those three culverts are in the front of the um project right where when you um go over that entrance driveway. Uh so we do meet the parking requirement um as far as how many spaces we're

proposing. We are asking for a parking waiver to have the parking layout in the front be similar to what we have next door at the medical facility. Um I believe the town's ordinance allows you one row of parking. Um but it's it's a just a more efficient design to have an a travel lane with double loaded parking because you end up with less impervious surface over a project site. So, we're asking for that waiver so that we can put that other row of parking um in front of the building. Otherwise, the parking is um spread out towards the east side of the um development.

Good question. Um can you remind us what the minimum parking requirement for this set of commercial is for the property? I believe office space is three spaces per 1,000 square ft of leasable floor area. How many spaces are included in this proposal? Now you're making me check.

So the parking counts are on sheet two of the set. Three per 1,000 square ft. We did our calculation based on a 10,000 square ft building. So we have a little bit more spaces than we needed. Um, and we have 45. We're required to have 30. So, we do have more spaces than we need on this project. That's I mean, that's basically it. I usually have more, but we haven't done all of the full engineering designs yet because we're at master plan level. So,

understood. Understood. Questions? Make a comment. What are the art and then BJ? What are the interesting things about this property? It was controlled and owned by a real estate agent. Never sold real estate. So, what do we have now? We have the DMV. We have Gold's Liquors. We have an orthopedic uh operation. And now we're going to have another building and it's all positive commercial tax flow for the for the town. And I think it's absolutely remarkable. I forgot the golf course, too. But these are good things. They're productive use of the property and I think uh what we saw the other day was good. Okay. Thank you.

Okay, BJ, then Matt, then Joe. Thank you. Yes, I do have a question and it involves the neighbors, okay, on the far side of the property. Um, I was wondering what their feelings are. Have you heard anything from them? Um, is is this uh something that you intend to do to let them know? Are you going to do something more with landscaping along that fence line?

Yes. So, I can I can let you know that um in terms of landscaping, uh Pam Rogers um was hired to be the landscape architect on this project. Um but we haven't submitted anything because we were going to be submitting for the pre preliminary. uh in terms of the what's required for landscaping when you've got uh like for instance a parking area that's adjacent to a residential use you're you're required to have I believe it's a 20 foot um landscape screening uh in in that area. So we'll have to meet those standards um in terms of providing uh that landscaping and show it on a plan. So that that will definitely be be all landscaped in uh in the rear of the property. um uh to to provide that buffering for the uh the residential neighbors.

What about the neighbors? Have you heard anything from them about this? No, I hadn't. I did contact the planning department to see if anyone had made any inquiries um or or uh any any comments, concerns, and they indicated they had not received um any to date. Um, so, uh, we we had not heard anything. Matt,

I understand this is the just master plan level and I don't want to get too deep in the weeds for things, but I want to voice my disapproval of any inclusion of a gas line or frankly any fossil fuel infrastructure on this property. I would highly suggest that you guys go with heat pumps given our state's climate mandate of 2021 which sets 45% reduction in emissions by 2030 which is only four years from now which we are hopefully failing. So I just wanted to mention that any new property and this goes for the whole state in my mind should not be approved if any fossil fuel infrastructure is included. I don't want the state or the town to be open to liability because it is a legally binding law which people can sue over if it's if the state fails. So, I would really like to see if you guys come back when you guys come back the inclusion of no gas line for this property.

Well, we'll we'll certainly take those concerns to the to the property owner and um then look to address those. So, I I have a question for the solicitor. Is is it uh a legal issue providing gas to a new uh a new facility? There there are no limitations. There are no limitations. There's nothing in state law or local ordinance that would prohibit connection to the gas infrastructure. It may be an opinion that that they shouldn't be um relying on gas for energy. However, um there are no restrictions. No restrictions. Okay. Um Joe.

Yeah. Hi Dave, Lynn. Um, my question is more consistency. I'm just looking at the uh Herk Works um elevations plans and everything I'm seeing says retail and we're talking about an office building. Yeah. On on that temporary sign or the the signage you uh Dan had indicated retail tenant, but this um but it's going to be off. This is an office building. All right. All right. Yeah. So, I'm assuming when you come back for preliminary, it'll Yes.

Your signban will be more because I don't know that you'd have Well, maybe you would for office tenants. Four. You've got four individual suites in here right now shown on this plan. Correct. Um whether you'd have four signs for four office tenants, I don't know. Yeah. So again, mine's more a consistency question that just relates to the use, right? And I totally understand that. All right. And you know, it could be um four tenants or it could be one tenant. We this

it's sort it it it's being set up where it could be up to four, but it's possible you could have, you know, one one user want want the entirety of the space. That's it.

Other comments. I I have some questions on drawing C4. If you could bring drawing C4 up. and and Lynn, if you need to go to the uh screen, you can use the mic that's on the table. Um my first question is um on one of the lines on your drawing is is labeled a closure line. What is a closure line?

Oh, okay. Okay. A closure line is when is a survey is a survey item. Um when you are you see it most often it's for doing the math to make sure the property line closes. It's for doing that math. Um and I assume the closure line runs along the water course. It's important for surveying that this line be closed to make sure that the lot

it's for geometry purposes. You see it very on all coastal sites because the property line goes to mean high water, right? So they have to have a line so that they can make sure when they're doing all of the calculations that all the geometry works. That's my engineers. That's okay. Uh my next question is uh up in the uh northeast portion it looks like uh one of the neighboring properties has a shed that overlaps onto this property. Yes. So what's going to happen with that?

So we're actually working with that neighbor to reconfigure the lot line to um convey a sliver that very back corner um to them. Um, I don't know if it's an adverse possession type of item or if it's just an agreement. I can address that. So, does that have to be addressed when you come in with your engineering plans? Yeah. So, uh, presently there is a a pending lawsuit relative to that. There there's a claim there's a lawsuit, a claim of adverse possession over that that portion. So, does that have to be settled before this can go forward?

Uh, no. I think you can run two separate um matters here. Um they the plaintiffs haven't pursued um that claim um with with the court. Uh we've looked for some uh uh discovery. Um they're represented by Mr. Lynch. There were a lot of discussions about a particular settlement. Lynn drew drew up some plans and uh my conversations with Mr. Lynch are that he that that his clients are amendable to to a settlement but he needed to um get him back back into the office.

So do do you anticipate that this will get resolved? I do. Amicably. Amicably. I do. Good. Okay. Um okay. Uh my next question is uh I noticed that in the line that uh delineates the roadway in front of this property there's a jog in that line. Why is why is that? Do you know? I don't um I know that it's part of our seems unusual. I don't know what caused it to uh do the jog. Um but I might be able to get you an answer for that at some point. I I can talk. Well, I I'm just it's just seems so unusual. I don't know why there would be a jog in that line.

I've seen it before on um railways and stuff, you know, um where it goes from 80 feet wide to 60 feet wide. I don't know the reason behind it, but um I'm I can see if we if my survey department does and get you an answer at the next phase. Yeah, I think it dates back to when the the state platted um Valley Road and so it was with those original plans and for whatever reason that's

yeah it's it doesn't affect anything you're doing but it was just a curiosity. Uh my next question is um I noticed that uh on the east side of this property there are wetlands and so I assume there's a lot of water involved with those wetlands and that is upstream of this property. So I assume when you do the engineering you're going to take this into account that that water will have to be dealt with even at this conceptual level we've taken that into Can I talk in the microphone please? Sorry, even at this conceptual level, we have taken it into account. If you see, there are three drain lines that run from the point of that wetland.

I saw those and that's for that reason. And that's to help convey that water through. And like I said, we're going to have to go through the wetlands program to make sure they're on board with how we're managing that. And you have to go through all the calculations to make sure they're adequate and all of that stuff. Absolutely.

Yeah. Okay. Um you mentioned that uh you will have landscape and landscape maintenance plans when you come in with the engineering work. Um why are you requesting a waiver on landscaping if you haven't done your landscaping plan yet? Wouldn't it be better to wait until you have that planned? I believe the waiver is limited to um the 10-foot requirement around the perimeter of the building where you have five foot landscape, 5-ft sidewalk. Um we don't have that on the east side and the reason is we're trying to minimize the disturbance as much because we have wetlands on both sides of the of the project.

So you need the waiver at this point. We are asking for a waiver um for you to consider a waiver at this point if that is the issue is if that waiver were not granted it was it might result in a significant modification to the design because of that well I would like to hear them say that Ron okay is that the case or can you consider uh No we could certainly consider um looking at uh or or tableabling the issue of the waiver at this level and consider it at preliminary at the next stage. Correct. When see if we can lands. Yes.

Yeah. So at this point you would be requesting only the one waiver for parking. That's correct. Okay. Thank you. Uh my next uh question um in the traffic analysis that was done, how detailed was that? So the traffic analysis was inadvertently submitted under master plan. Ah yeah not actually recorded until preliminary. But you did we did and I don't have a problem. I I we actually like your input at this stage in case there's anything we can do to address it for the next stage. But we well I I'll just make two comments.

Okay. Number one, Crossman made some comments on it. So be be aware of their comments. And uh the other comment I would make is it would be nice to hear them say something about the capacity on Valley Road. You know, all of these studies take the incremental approach where they say there are so many trips and this is small compared to the number of you know the traffic count that we made. So it's not a big impact but they never talk about the capacity of the road. So if you could say something about that that would be appreciated. We'll convey that message to the traffic engineer and we'll be prepared to answer that. Okay, I think that's all the questions I have. Any more questions? Questions?

Uh, is there anyone in the public who would like to speak? Did you want me to have Mr. Herin? I'm sorry. Hold on a second. Present. I I'm fine either way. If there are questions that members of the public or Butters may have of of Lynn, I think it may be appropriate at this point if they want to ask any of those questions. So, let's bring the public up. Yeah. Members of the public, please.

Hi, Alicia Reyes, 30 plus Mine Road. Um, I just apologies that I didn't read through the impact statement thoroughly, but I did hear about um water drainage into Bailey Brook. Now is how is that going to impact um like overflow from the brook? Want me to? Yes. Could you respond to that question?

Um yes. So as um you know, we don't have those calculations done um for this meeting. Um but we're required by state law and town law to um conduct a storm water analysis of existing peak rates of runoff their design point their you know eventual discharge points um and compare those to the proposed conditions um application before you and ensure that the under the proposed conditions application we include a reduction um in those peak runoff off rates for the design storms that are set by the state. Um, and that'll be included in a stormwater report that'll be on file with the DEM, DOT, and the town of Middletown um, planning department for review. Um, it'll also be reviewed by the TRC before we even get to the planning board. um next time the um and they will be taking um special attention to the fact that we do have a flood plane analysis associated a flood plane associated with Bailey Brook. So that is something that is part of that review at the state level.

Other comments from the public, comments or questions? Anyone? Anyone online wishing to speak? You can raise your hand? No. Any other comments from the public? Not. May I have a motion to close the public hearing? So moved. Second. A motion is made and seconded to close the public hearing. Is there any discussion? All those in favor say I. I. Oppose. Nay.

Chair votes I. The public hearing is closed. Um, may I have a motion for master plan approval with the one waiver for parking be approved? Second. Motion is made and seconded to grant uh master plan approval with one waiver request for parking to this project. Is there any further discussion? All those in favor say I. I. Oppose. Nay. Chair votes I. Motion passes.

Thank you. Next item on the agenda is the project update status. report. Does anyone have any comments on that report? Any comments? I have none.

Next item are committee reports. Tree commission. The tree commission has been very active as you can well imagine with spring uh almost here if not here already and they have the design for planting of trees on various roads that have been uh looked at by the residents of the road. Uh there's been activity for valley the valley uh project of planting trees. Uh there's just a lot of activity and if I can remember correctly there will be something about Alber Woods coming up that uh the the there will be a request that people there will be people coming to help the committee. Okay, thank you. Uh, open space and fields. Charlie,

I am resign and I to Nick to find his replacement so that I may get up get up to speed. Uh, I will be attending the next meeting on the 15th of April. Okay, very good. Thank you. Uh, conservation commission Matt. The conservation commission has not met since you um I was appointed as a liaison. um is meeting on Monday the 13th. So, next Monday, and we will be discussing um what Melissa wants to talk about.

Just just a point of you're not a liazison, you're a voting member there, so um since Steve is not here, we'll uh pass on the Middletown Senate Advisory Committee. Uh you see the two upcoming meetings that we have planned. And um at this point uh is there anything else that uh someone wishes to bring before the board? No. Don't we also uh have somebody on the affordable housing committee? Uh I think that committee was no more. No. Okay.

In the past we we used to you used to serve on that committee as a rep from the planning board, but then they reconstituted the makeup of that committee and there's no longer a planning board rep. I do know they're looking for somebody to serve on the regular board. So, that's one thing. How about the comprehensive plan? When is that going to come out for uh I was actually just mentioning that. So, as of today, we've confirmed that the public hearing will be on May 11th. May 11th at Middle School.
