The board appointed five individuals to the Design Review Board, specifying roles based on qualifications and expertise. Pervial Avlani was appointed to the first seat as the chair’s designate. Sue Ellen Stodder filled the second seat for her qualifications in fine arts or landscape design. Jeffrey Doerty, a local business owner, was assigned to the third seat. Jaclyn Crowe took the fourth seat as a designated planning board member, and Janette Thompson was appointed to the fifth seat for her expertise in design professions. These appointments were made in a single motion, emphasizing efficiency and a streamlined approach to board operations.

Additionally, the board addressed the composition of the Zoning Advisory Committee (ZAC). Four candidates were appointed to the committee, with Quadra Hassan and Adam Farcus taking the at-large seats, while Pervial Avlani and Jaclyn Crowe were named as associate members. The board discussed the need for a planning board representative on ZAC, but the decision was deferred to the next meeting, as members were encouraged to consider their availability and willingness to participate.

A public hearing regarding the minor project site plan for a property on West Main Street was continued, with a new decision deadline set for August 14th. This was a procedural move to ensure ample time for administrative processing and necessary paperwork completion.
