  plan and everyone agreed with that assessment.

*  Approved minutes for the December 10th meeting.

*  Sandy reviewed her 12/16/03 discussion with the
  Selectboard regarding the budget for the Planning
  Commission. The Planning Commission had not spent
  any of this year’s money with the exception of funds
  from the planning grant. Sandy requested the
  Selectboard to provide the Planning Commission with a
  budget similar to the previous year.

*  The Planning Commission reviewed the draft Middlesex
  Land Use & Development Regulations with Brian Shupe
  of Burnt Rock Inc. Brian provided members of the
  Commission with revisions to the draft. Brain was
  requested to provide examples of clustering type
  development. Gregg also suggested addressing junked
  cars in the regulations. The Commission also suggested
  restricting cell tower development in areas above a
  topographic elevation 1500 feet. 

  The draft regulations will be provided to the Selectboard,
  Conservation Commission, Zoning Board and Road &
  Fire Departments for their input. Maps and a summary of
  the regulations are planned to be available for Town
  Meeting.

  The Committee should review the revised regulations
  prior to the next meeting.
