Minutes

The meeting was called to order at 6:02 PM by Chairman Cotton.

Beckley Gaudette came before the DRB to clarify what she needed to present to DRB as part of an upcoming application for a subdivision. This is allowed by Section 3.2 of the Newfane Subdivision Bylaw, adopted 2007.

DRB members referred Ms. Gaudette to Sections 3 and 4 of the Newfane Subdivision Bylaw, including the checklist of plan requirements in Section 4.3 and suggested she check with an attorney to further clarify the submission requirements, if needed.

After Ms. Gaudette left, the DBR members confirmed that David Cotton will stay on as Chairman and Erica Walch will stay on as Secretary.

At a future meeting, the full DRB members will again review some revisions to the DRB application form in hopes of making it easier for applicants to understand the zoning bylaws in advance of their hearings.

Chairman Cotton mentioned some possible applications coming up in the pipeline.

Walch mentioned attending a Planning Commission meeting about revisions to the flood zoning regulations and said she will try to keep up to date on any developments on that front.

Meeting was adjourned at 6:40 PM.
