PRESENTATION BY KEN WEISS:Ken reviewed the history of his White Pines Development. As the plans which were approved by the PLHP were not approved (due to density and water issues) by the Planning, Zoning and Conservation Committees, Ken went back and rewrote the proposal. The current proposal, which has been approved by the above Boards, has been scaled down from seventeen to ten buildings. There has been a 17% reduction in bedrooms as well. The new plan calls for 8 market rate units and 4 affordable units. Discussion was held. Rex Peterson advised that ‑ since the first two phases had already received appropriate permits through regular growth management‑ the new phase of 4 affordable units out of 12 was within our jurisdiction to approve the project.

Ken Weiss agreed to work with the PLHP to sell/manage the affordable entity.

Michael Bunn made the motion to amend the previous permit award to Harry Kemp Corporation based on the revised plans submitted on 1/11/00 from the number of permit awarded from seven to four. The applicant agrees to return to the PLHP if the affordable building does not sell within 60 days after construction has been completed. Tim Hazel seconded. All members approved the motion.

PRESENTATION BY RON WEIL: Mr. Weil came to the PLHP concerning his construction on West Vine Street. This was an investigation session of necessary steps to be taken for his construction. He currently has three building; two have been completely constructed and the exterior is up on the third. He has six units sold in all the three buildings. He now wants to finish three units total in the three buildings. He wants to make one of the three affordable. We advised him to meet with Rex Peterson and go over tasks to be addressed.

DEFINITION OF PROJECT AND AMENDMENT: The PLHP needs clarity and definition of the words project and amendment. We need to know how these words can be used in determining properties under our purview.

PLACEMENT OF LEGAL ADVERTISEMENTS: Rex Peterson said he would be willing to place ads in local papers notifying the public of our agenda/speakers/issues for our meetings. This could help us to open up our process. All agreed this was a good idea. Done.

PLHP meetings ‑ in general ‑ will take place on the 2rd and 4th Tuesday of every month to the end of April. Once a month we will convene through the spring, summer and early fall.

NEXT MEETING; January 25, 2000 at 4:00. This will be a closed agenda meeting to enable PLHP members to consider town meeting warrant issues.
