Summary

The Planning Board discussed assembling a complete open-space notification package — color-coded subdivision plan, deed copy and a revised letter — and directed staff to produce GIS-based parcel PDFs for inclusion in the dropbox ahead of the next meeting.

A board member described plans on Jan. 26 to assemble a complete open-space notification and education package for affected parcels, including a revised letter, a colored subdivision plan highlighting open space, and a copy of the deed.

The member said she would prepare the materials and put them in the meeting Dropbox for board review. Staff suggested using the town GIS to generate PDFs with the open-space layer turned on (which would show parcel numbers) rather than hand-coloring plans. The board agreed that GIS-produced maps would be helpful and that staff should place the materials in the shared folder ahead of the next meeting.

No formal vote was recorded; the board expects to resume discussion and finalize the outreach package at a future meeting once the GIS maps and deed copies are collated.
