Minutes
The monthly meeting began at 1904 hours.
Present were Ann Painter, Irene Lindquist, Mark Stauble, Jeff Estes, Rick
Smeriglio and Ellen O'Brien.
Previous minutes were read and accepted.
Jeff E. initiated a discussion of how the
Borough Plan relates to trails in our area. Rick S. asked how the group wanted
to respond to the Borough's request for input on their plan. Irene L. expressed
a desire to respond individually. Ann P. stated that the Borough wanted the
Advisory Commission's input for the whole plan, not just the part pertaining to
Moose Pass. Jeff E. suggested that comments on trails be submitted to the
Borough, especially the request to not allow subdivisions to block access to
trails or areas used for outdoor recreation. Ann P. suggested providing a map
to the Borough showing trails that we would like protected. Irene L. offered to
get maps and it was agreed for the group to offer one to the Borough complete
with dedicated and proposed trail rights‑of‑way.
Rick S. initiated a discussion of schools.
It was agreed to submit to the Borough a correction of the number of pupils at
the Moose Pass School.
Rick S. was selected to write a letter of
response to the Borough's request for input to their plan.
The group then began work on the Moose Pass
Plan. Mark S. read his suggestion for water quality and sewage in Moose Pass.
He suggested using an overhead projector for meetings where this information
will be presented to the public for approval. Both ideas were well received by
the group. It was agreed that DEC standards for septic systems and water
quality should be considered minimum standards for Moose Pass.
Mark S. read his statement on economic
development which was accepted.
Irene L. read her statement on land
conveyance. It was agreed that she would collect the exact number of acres
involved in each detail before submitting her final summary on the subject.
General agreement was to request Borough input on land conveyance especially, because
of its controversial nature.
Statements regarding tourism, toxic and
hazardous substances, the Ball Diamond, the beetle infestation and schools were read and were accepted for the rough draft. The rough draft will be worked on at the next meeting.
The meeting adjourned at 2120 hours.
