PlanningBoard | 2020-08-17 | 13 | Director Thomas said yes there would be a workshop on this and the board could take part and they would welcome an expert in the discussion. 10. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS None. 11. BOARD COMMUNICATIONS President Teague asked staff to bring back small pieces of revisions to the zoning code. One zoning code in particular is making it easier for people to build housing. He added that he does not want the staff to bring them ministerial review items for the board to rubber stamp. He felt it was a frustrating use of the board's time, the board agreed with him. Board Member Ruiz asked staff to please make sure submittals are complete. She struggled with the cannabis club and the 7-C item, they were good projects but they had a lot of missing information. She felt that the applicant wasn't prepared to answer questions and wanted the staff to prep the applicant more. Director Thomas said he completely understood. Vice President Saheba suggested that any applicant's presentation is given a time limit. Director Thomas said that past planning boards have established those types of limits and to also consider a limit on staff's presentations. 12. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS Jay Garfinkle wanted to address the process of how the City Council and Planning Board does things. He was concerned that with the meetings being so long and the applicants and the board getting so much time there was very little public engagement. He believed there was a better way to involve and inform the public. 13. ADJOURNMENT President Teague adjourned the meeting at 11:19 p.m. Approved Planning Board Minutes Page 13 of 13 August 17, , 2020 | PlanningBoard/2020-08-17.pdf |
