snapshot of where the county is right now what's the energy bill that he infrastructure what we know about how people are using energy in the town what is that safe for planning you know  mistake right now so we went to a meeting about that so we try to keep our eye on have ball so that we can speak for what we see happening here prioritizing certain areas of town to locate  place where you can build  are right so there's something that we've all gotten used to but one of the things that we also advocate for is moving lines underground whenever possible so that when  neighborhoods good exposure or if you could meet all those criteria and there was one and also maybe not necessarily the most visible to the most renowned passer bys and maybe that's impossible to meet all you have so many applications coming in daily that they're not going to spend a lot of time reviewing the specific conditions for everything ok they're going to simply say does this fit under the cap that we've set free utility so boom proof but at that point once you have this really good public good if the local authorities come and say well you can't put a solar panel where you're going to waive that piece of paper saying no the state says they can so the state is supposed to be paying attention to some of the not the difference in the in the price you know like you can then you're back at a much higher price if you buy in some places or in other places you can and some utilities are the chilis of cells are sure to push back intersection right down here actually from the one of the things this is totally off the mark but one of the things that we were talking about intervening once was i'm sorry that homes are in here and they were talking about one super tight house where the gentleman who lived here if  then you cut back and let the building codes that kind of thing and these are all decisions that are easily made by machine very quickly made a human being takes much too long to react or you have to be monitoring costs exactly where people do their own stuff and right and they may not you know they're not going to be going for energy star they're just going for the song in the kitchen or sound like sound of you know how about how to change things stable somehow so that when we have conversations like this time energy committee folks come together we get educated about stuff and we put our right ideas together and try to figure out what to do next  there to be regional training for the realtor so they can learn how to talk this language and how to educate people whether process of buying so there's you know other words the contours of the landscape have to be changed so it's hopefully some of my expenditure to prove there's a problem improve the problems all the while the greatest the greatest need for me is the having fish a home for sustainability so i go back to this performance  i couldn't remember exactly what we were saying and i also think i need to check into this that at least one thing still it's not something that we because we don't have right so i guess essentially this is maybe not done but we can just take that statement now but i'll continue on that so the commercial district has spent  spent a lot of time over many meetings even prior to my involvement going over this but this is sort of what we boiled it down to i think i thought last meeting and spent a lot of time talking about the overlay think part of that or the desire i think that the desire is to to remove the one side and make it the village district but having the plan not need to be updated once that change was made  agricultural district wins the rural agricultural residential district so this back to the commercial district this lower paragraph not that the moral character  on the yellow or comments on other stuff when you weren't here at the last meeting so why attack it for i think i don't actually have the time but so on they were low density residential but they were just we need to do a search and replace because they're still refers to rural residential but who are but it's really the rural agricultural residential rural residential is now low density ok so then what then that we kind of yeah so actually this this whole sentence could just  all the part that's undeveloped and rightly so in your so it seems like since the map is is that it's the new zoning for the riverside for a majority of the riverside village district basically you have right now we there are some really if this is really kind of trying to eventually explain the map there is really almost like four village center districts but like the for so i had a question about that which is the last paragraph about parking is a repeat the same paragraph appear in  main part about the village center that's where it should go well it's in both places so it almost seems like it applies to all of them yes so therefore it probably doesn't need to be under the riverside yeah and then did that same paragraph or sort of a similar adapted paragraph need to be included in the commercial district because we talked in the commercial so you know you added stuff about access and internal circulation but then this is good you also have this is a good framework for the village center  called in the big yellow paragraph on and it was after the sentence that samantha just referenced the news zoning is intended just thought we should call it what it is the riverside character based zoning regulations are intended to foster gro reestablishment of the pedestrian bridge or the presence of the old red mill the historic structure like we kind of vacillate like sometimes we're really descriptive when we talk about important sites in the district and then other times it's bare bones and in this particular area it's sort of bare bones however this area if you think about ten years ago has really actually gotten significantly improved so they talked about lighting but here is where we've got sidewalks lighting pedestrian bridge business expansion and the fuel station is redone the tavern is redone the town hall has been it's sort of and also i think it's been kind of a success to some degree you know as much as you could call it a success and we have to say well are you in i wonder you in the river overlay it's difficult for us to to have to dig around and try to find it all the time yeah so if we could have it all on one make it more user friendly don't know how do we know how compatible or non compatible we are anymore with our jason areas and i don't know and if you don't know that should be an implementation would be to research it and determine that way when i did this it was a while ago and i don't think things have changed but maybe there have been a real recent update is that what you  all right i will see if it's you know as of when we go to press with bets we'll have it touched up to date if it they're still in process maybe we make a note that they're in the improv process right or even if they just recently updated we haven't updated in five years are we still in sync right i guess the right question and then implementation three point one point three point one is one is a reference to the residential district so that's the new one so you got that was updated already  that's an existing i don't know we haven't talked about going and we haven't that's all that's left over from some other time don't think it's not logical to asians are ok i think that the purpose maybe was more to you know let's keep more development in the village center for sure so that's probably why it's there but it where i think it's kind of like it was the negotiated counter point to the next one which is they're saying maybe the village center district should be able to get a little bit bigger and the village destruction be able to get a little bit bigger so you could have more areas for more density and they said ok but then you can't keep going out because that would just be s and then i you guys three point two point one preserve natural features including the view and agricultural land so did you mean like view in general or was that does feel like the man to feel know and then related to that three point two point one point two consider a scenic overlay along route fifteen to preserve the view of not mansfield so when we talked about the possibility of the scenic of relate it wasn't just the view of mount mansfield it was also sort of the rural character along the road to preserve i was wanting to total crap because room fifteen has the most pressure it has it's the most viable market has the most it affects the most people did it affects the most things i just don't think it has that much impact in the split to speak specifically about groups of teams in front of cherry hill because all the course of development the left hand side is so down off the road i  planning for twenty years down the road we thought the planning commission was remiss in not in thinking that we were going to be building in the centers and point here i don't think you're doing their job and i one other quick thing back to the planning grant that we had talked about in order to apply for it i really need to move forward with discussions with consultants and so what we had talked about was making it really you know having a consultant that was very involved or the planning commission was very involved with the consultants so it wasn't like here's this task they work on it check in once in a while and work on it but they're really back in for collaborative effort and so that's i think sounded good to people and the question  in my mind was trying to narrow it down i did talk with the state to see if they thought the idea of doing a study for commercial locations in alternative personal and industrial location would tie in with changes to the commercial district and i thought that was probably too broad but we could word the grant saying that we want to take a look at the appearance and the need just matt to sign this form which is the resolution for the planning granted and goes to the select board for their signature it's just one of their requirements for the gra
