04:18The key item on the agenda was the approval of an Approval Not Required (ANR) plan submitted by Ryan Giler, representing 28 Cook Road LLC. The proposal involved separating an existing lot with a house, garage, and shed from a larger parcel and adding 7.2 acres to the adjoining property on County Road. The board confirmed that the parcel met zoning requirements, including sufficient frontage, before endorsing the ANR as presented.

09:27In another discussion, the board addressed the forthcoming hiring of a town planner with a focus on sustainability. A job description for the position was drafted by consultant Richard Harris after consultation with Town Administrator Scott Szczebak. The role is expected to be filled by a junior planner, given the salary range. Harris’s contract for consulting services, at a rate of $95 per hour, was also discussed, including his potential assistance to the new hire. The board plans to review and approve the budget for Harris’s services in their July meeting.
