their house on fire the fire had surrounded their propane tank and was going out two sides of the house somebody on the interstate saw the fire and it started call they did richmond fire department in the richmond police department were in there within minutes  thank you to the fire department for a job very well done ok starting on the agenda first up tonight we have an update on the library roof it read building was more than half of that two hundred fifty thousand dollars repair to be repaired steeple and you know or met several times and you know we found it you know we're just we're not a whit to deal with that kind of problem you know the feel of we just we don't have the extra feast to deal with you know getting different clothes there's a lot of d and maybe some people have expertise in the community i'm moving to take a look at this issue and see how the town wants deal because we don't feel that the library is board should be the one making these exemptions so just to help folks who are who are not looking at the same materials perhaps if i'm reading this correctly there's two hundred sixty eight thousand hours somewhere around there yeah we were having a hard time the way they itself to us right now we were roughly a quarter million dollars which looks like real money both what are the options in terms of cost and what are the options in terms of revenue and i significant but not the stork when mark so where would we find money other than the taxpayer are there it's past my area of expertise but to throw that at somebody to maybe we did grant person do i don't know you know again it's just like you know it's not in your expertise it's totally on our expertise you know i don't know you know we can get grants for the building the whole library struck you know it's no secret people don't usually put on slate roofs anymore even though they last one time because they are so expensive but just therefore in the road they replace it with a sleep group or something else and go into it with  completed a series of data has to be downloaded from the state systems in terms of a just one point two down of people who file homestead exemption from downloads creating new records as they rule books should apply to all that it should not be on a permit by permanent basis based on whose names on a permanent or if i support project if the rules are there we have to see if what somebody wants to do is within the rules if they want to do something that's outside the rules if there are waivers allowed then that's an option we can take but if it's something outside the rules then it really goes back to a planning commission and somebody who wants to see change has to go through the past twenty commission and the select work process to make that change and that's the number one reason why i want to serve on the d r v is because the rule should apply for a bar and an agricultural zone so that's why i am here i have a lot of experience dealing with the richmond regulations have been written president since i was born and i'm very familiar with the  document i've made recommendations on changes to the document to make it more clear and that's what i am here all about it and i really wanted was only to appoint me if you attorney in maryland for the last forty years and can he continue to practice in maryland i've managed to make my practice portable do most of my business now for the state and for the local municipality i have served on many developers builders and represented them before boards such as the one that i'm applying for positions on however i have never been  interested in the d o b for a number of years just out of personal interest for the subject matter was a builder for ten years and now i'm an architect interned percent bigger picture so obviously my experience my youngest obviously of the people here see my experience on the board is much much more limited but i feel my my knowledge base is is right there it's what i do every day the most recent ear of the evening i am comfortable with that we can examine the mission of the world other than february and april school vacation weeks my personal and professional schedule will not preclude my commitments to the forward my personal belief is that australia a responsible development in richmond the bible to the long term viability of our community development review should it here to zoning ordinance and be consistent with the town plan decisions that are open to interpretation should consider the spirit of the original political zoning ordinance all interested groups affected working with other members of this board i will make a positive contribution thank you for to remind who are you can appoint anybody you'd like and you're not obligated to appoint anybody just because they apply to them and you can always go back out for more volunteers if you feel you need to a very well rounded knowledge of regulatory process and planning process to the planning commission i think there's a actually a very good dynamic going on right now it's unfortunate and cousins ready to express my interest in joining the rich richmond conservation commission my commitment to conservation stems from dr ramani upbringing in my appreciation for the natural beauty of their state has to offer i spent my childhood hiking biking fishing  enjoying the outdoors in as many ways as possible which has led to tremendous respect and appreciation for the natural world this lifestyle led to further commitment through a study of security you know where every seed to be arson environmental science and currently pursuing a master's degree in natural resources my association with richmond begin as a youth growing up in a neighborhood close to where the truth my connection to richmond began two thousand and eight when i started working at the rain forest alliance in the good when bigger building i believe that my educational and professional background along with a strong desire to conserve richness natural beauty makes me an ideal candidate for the richmond conservation commission of our youth of the of the conservation commission section of town website i believe my experience and strengths would work well with the responsibilities of this position stakeholder involvement is an important area and conservation decision making i have been fortunate enough in my work on many projects where stakeholder relationship building was a key component of the relationship between the conservation commission and the richmond select board was awesome and extremely was also extremely critical to the success of proposed projects and i believe my experience working with the rain forest alliance can aid in increasing the strength of that connection richmond is entering into an exciting and crucial time regarding land use planning and growth and i am eager to get back to his hand on a new landscape that means a great deal to conservation commission in order to try to return it to the roots from which it sprang i have the townspeople involved with the decisions on how their taxpayer dollars are being spent and i've reviewed dislike board minutes the town reports and other documents that will lead to the conservation commission  that they have modified the mission statement in accordance with how they want to spend the taxpayer dollars stained glass windows for a church where is their separation of church and state i don't think the anyone that knows me will deny my commitment to a properly functioning ecological wilderness we spent my retirement money to preserve fifty acres on williams hill from fifteen house sites we have had our land he used for two different you v m studies on the effect of sugaring on songbird populations we have taken the lead on controlling invasive species volunteer opening on the conservation commission as it brought back memories to two thousand and eight when i was recognized by the cincinnati mayor for inspiring the city with quote an inconvenient truth lecture is in for the distribution of free copies of quote cincinnati's guide to saving money and saving the earth by living green unquote a booklet i authored the opportunity to conserve protect and restore communities natural resources on behalf of its citizens i find very rewarding by actively being involved in shaping richmond's future i will be able to empower its citizens the children in particular to be the next generation of environmental stewards and help them understand the importance of their role in preserving it my interest to conserve natural agricultural industry resources that make richmond such a desirable place to live work and visit is further fueled by a personal investment in improving the quality of life of the community in two thousand and ten my husband and i became the homeowners of the old party a farmhouse and have been fortunate to enjoy the scen infuse and creative use land use of the matter though to me community is about belonging it's a place that supports me in many ways friends neighbors jobs resources playtime it is home by helping build richmond's future where human needs are met in our many with nature is how i hope to give back to a community that's already given me so much does anyone have any other information about any of the other candidates and they knew that they could also come  warden manly at ninety and nobody for civil defense director an animal to know yes right in the animal control would be no we recommend moving to coordinator i thought of this i'm not one to turn away new claude geoffrey bennett is the emergency management coordinator right now we have two new applicants for my feeling o this is if we were to elect somebody else they would stand next to jeff and ask him what to do and then tells you what to do and i'm comfortable this is me speaking personally i'm comfortable putting jeff back in the mc coordinator name recommended solution in search of a problem that was one difference between so we sort of table that in ass right to come back to continue the conversation about what problem we're trying to address like it because it gives the so what who are in the you know control officer in the police the authority to take the dog and put it in the control of you know control person provocation so when i this is the definition of fisher started three he i don't know how i as a member of the select board determine provocation or not required medical attention from the attack and there are some subjective element to the going to get the idea under deep potentially vicious dog the dog running at large i think it may be tax another domestic cat or animal causes damage personal property chases a person or causes any person to reasonably fear attack or finally injury from such harm some of them i just find myself challenge by making judgments about some of those things how somebody fell well in the delicious which i think is written in a certain positive direction to try to protect but some of the stuff i would have trouble as a select board member making a judgment the way that it's defined here potentially depictions versus vicious vicious is clearly defined intentionally vicious strikes me as pretty loose and subjective so i don't quite know how do we address dogma that causes any person to reasonably fear attack or bodily injury the way i mean and so i understand the core issue just strikes me that he will because kind of larger potentially vicious literally the definition seems so morally britain is any time anybody do a person reasonably fears attack from the god knocking on the door  about where the public has been harmed i think it is a concern i agree it's a concern i don't agree that it's the select boards job to investigate each one of those the circumstance you just described is i agree unfortunate i'm not sure it's so that if it's a sad let me keep going so if the seven year old barket is live peacefully here but that person coming in that day into it and if the owner present people here talk about their own dogs protecting their territory it wasn't protecting a person or an animal but it protecting its territory i don't know what to say about that what you know if it's  not a pattern of behavior and what do i do with the example i gave you about the boy being attacked i burned in the process of investigating it this was not the first occurrence this know and then the only other thing is the dot the owner's property we get to experience hounded and vicious if they're in pounded perhaps there's something you can do on the owner's property for something like you describe but otherwise want people getting it and especially some of the horrible stories that you hear about people especially kids being kids it's kids in very traumatic way two basic elements of our definitions of scope and i but i think taylor we had a short conversation last time i think he had the same kinds of concerns so i would i no are budget process the police chief noted that he needed to replace all the video cameras in his cruisers we have five cruisers he suggested doing one carrier over five years we put another three plane for sixty five hundred dollars for each camera shortly after that he had said that he had to replace two in taylor and i were talking one day and he said why didn't we just birthplace of all at once take like short term to pay for it for thirty thousand dollars so we asked the chief to go research that he did and he came back with three vendors to replace all five of the cameras at once quotes from watchguard custom signals and kobe and watchguard was twenty nine thousand four hundred seventy five custom signals was twenty five thousand three note for twenty five zero five five for four years six to six three point seven five in principle in the remaining two three six twenty five is likely to be able to cover the interest so those whose are cam somebody can move that we path from the town and it was rather expensive jeff made a first draft and then we have a second draft thank you jeff a letter this came up within the last this is a new issue our own just read from the memo because i think the memo says it pretty well earlier this year the selective word amended the gateway zoning regulations to reduce some development there sparked concerns among the public intoxication of water and sewer extensions into the area the removal of restaurant retail uses was paid particular attention by the board it was not done whitely since then staff has come to realize that the adaptive you section was a lousy way around this use prohibition c section five point six point eight it was it's brought to our attention following the development pretty words discussion of the subject with the briefs on april eight uses are otherwise prohibited the adaptive use section also applies to the gateway there are three conditions to be met for adaptive use historic or architectural significance to the town has a minimum of four thousand square feet it is no less than fifty years old these three prerequisites are broadly open to interpretation by the d r p in a conditional use setting in particular the four thousand square feet could refer to a footprint size or gross floor area including newer additions prior to the adaptive use application also of concern is the ability to relocate the structure on site and the need for renovation according to federal standards the basis for discussion is pending signal from the use of the will is for located on their gateway property they may be able to have restaurant and or retail use their possibly the main form of house as well through the adaptive use to regulation some select work members have indicated to me that they object to this wish to discuss what's happening and what we may be able to do to remedy the situation and i will follow office of legal research on this now situation might be handled in other jurisdictions with hillary regulations putting in place richmond for a long time has not been widely used to know that the bird's eye barn on it took advantage of this number of years ago there was some speculation that the rich would market may have but it didn't in fact i think they words to see this seem to come up here are historical or architectural significance minimum of four thousand square feet is thin footprint tour volume or a planet no less than fifty years old the other thing i found striking was within the current dimensions of such structures it seems silent on the actual location so the materials it's been a long time but having worked on that yes well you know actually it's citing a c f r which stands for code of federal regulations so the state was interpreted in a federal regulation which our tourney could interpret thirty six c f r sixty good time so that might help guide you and then when you you know i stroke it you know it talks about the building and it's like let's presume you can't move it from richmond to some public park there just to start to think about per person going out for a while and how we might think about right and then the food truck so there was an issue with if someone had  guess rented a food truck or asked a few truck to come to our staff events but it was parked outside and other people started coming to the food trucks so do we do some permanent process because other people have restaurants in town and pay taxes you know so we are going to have also pay to be in the town so how do we make it come together or fairness not just but and there's some limits on it maybe so that we're not the economic development is not going to develop the limits but they have some the maintenance costs we are responsible for five or ten percent of the youths and say that the built in uses that eighty percent with significantly more resources than us  do know we're off the d maybe somebody left somebody came off of i'm in a part of it for lincoln financial i'm almost positive that because john hamlin came on the benefits last month and were became a full time police officer we started paying even though it was on the so going up by two thousand eight hundred making
