Planning board to review master plan; board joined appeal in Warfle matter
Summary
Board member William Remster requested a master plan overview for new members and a committee to review updates; Conflict Solicitor Richard Coe reported that an appeal filed by the attorney for Ralph Warfle has been joined by the planning board and the appeal process may take up to a year.
At the Jan. 13 meeting, Board member William Remster asked that the board briefly review the municipal master plan at the next meeting to explain what it is and how it informs planning board decisions, noting there are several new board members. Chairperson Larry Winkels said he will select a committee to begin reviewing the master plan and circulated a volunteer sign-up sheet.
Under old business, Conflict Solicitor Richard Coe reported there was no closed session that evening but stated that an appeal had been filed by the attorney representing Ralph Warfle and that the planning board had joined in the appeal. Mr. Coe said the attorneys identified issues of concern and the appeal process could take up to a year.
The minutes do not provide further detail on the grounds of the Warfle appeal or any schedule for hearings; the board's joining the appeal indicates the case will proceed through the legal process with board involvement. The master plan review committee and any related schedule or scope of work will be addressed at upcoming meetings.
