Board members present were Pat Mallow, David Johnson, John Devine and Ron Lafreniere. Also present was town clerk Deborah LaRiviere and Adam Silverman from the Burlington Free Press. The meeting was called to order at 6:30pm.

• Planning Commission members met with the Board to discuss the over-all planning and zoning process since the new zoning regulations went into place and to talk about a recent DRB hearing. The Board questioned the necessity of the DRB duplicating some of the same requirements that the Act 250 Board calls for. Planning Commission Chair Linda Baker explained to the Board that while it may seem like the town is replicating the Act 250 process some of the concerns are the same. Even though the Town may mirror Act 250, the town shouldn’t turn its power over to the state process because in the future concerns may differ. Baker recommended the Board urge the DRB to closely follow the criteria required for granting variances and conducting hearings. She further suggested that the Select Board advise the Zoning Administrator to not accept incomplete applications.
• The Board opened paving bids. One bid from UPC was for $49.95/ton and a second bid from Pike was for $48.19/ton. Ron motioned: “To accept the bid from Pike Industries for paving at $48.19/ton and to spend up to $47 thousand dollars.” Pat seconded. There was no other discussion, all were in favor, motion passed.
• John motioned: “To accept the minutes from the August 01, 2005 meeting.” Ron seconded. There was no discussion, Ron, Pat and John in favor, Dave abstained. Motion passed.
• The Board reviewed an Ordinance for the regulation of ATV. Several people have asked for an ordinance of this type. The Board discussed the pros and cons of an ordinance. Dave motioned: “To table adoption of an Ordinance for the Regulation of ATV’s.” Seconded by Pat. There was no other discussion, all were in favor, motion passed.

  Road.
