Summary

Commissioners said the meeting agenda may not have been warned for all items; the hearing items were permitted to proceed. Minutes approval was deferred. Two subdivision final plans were approved by voice vote, both 4–0.

At the start of the meeting a commissioner raised concern that items other than the warned public hearing may not have been posted with the 48‑hour notice required by the open meeting law. The commissioner said the hearing itself had been warned and could proceed but that voting on other agenda items would be improper without the required notice. The chair and others acknowledged the point and agreed to defer approval of minutes and other non‑warned agenda items.

Minutes for February and March could not be approved because some members who attended the recorded meetings were not present; commissioners agreed to spend time on the next agenda to finish minutes. "We can have the hearing because that was warned," the commissioner said at the start of the meeting.

Votes at a glance: the commission approved two subdivision final plans at tonight’s meeting — the Sean K. and Nancy G. LaRose 3‑lot subdivision on Route 108 (vote 4–0) and the Steven Cooper and Cynthia Kelly 2‑lot subdivision on Witch Cat Road (vote 4–0). No formal action was taken on minutes or bylaws at this session.
