- First
Selectwoman to go to P&Z with Selectmen-approved suggested
revisions to new
Plan of C&D, which were discussed page by page (color-coded by
Selectman who made them.) But the 2 remaining audience
members (this was the last item of substance on the Selectmen's agenda)
did not have copies of the Plan annotated in this way, so the public
present didn't really know what was being proposed to be taken out, how
much "edit" or policy making change-additions were suggested...
- However "About Town" has read the Plan
draft so many times, we could sort of figure the proposed changes out
from memory! The one thing we will check is the C.G.S. timing for
review of the proposed changes and exactly what P&Z has to do and
what it can say, for example, "Thanks but no thanks!"
- We just checked online. Here is a
