Update on Cape Tip Storage, 85 Shankpainter Road.

Doug Taylor is going to do a site visit with the Building Inspector to see what is going on as far as Planning Board non-conforming violations.

Update on Moors Condominium Complex, 5-15 Bradford Street Extension

Doug Taylor said that they have promised to comply with previous agreements with the Planning Board and he will continue to apply pressure to encourage them them to do so.

Winthrop Smith reported that the Economic Development Task Force is becoming a Town Committee and was wondering if Planning Board wants to formally have a member on committee since part of their mission is to be in compliance with the LCP which is now under the purview of the Planning Board. Doug Taylor thinks it may be redundant as any changes they propose must be approved by Planning Board. Winthrop Smith is going to attend anyway but not as a representative of the Planning Board.

David Martin has been appointed to the Planning Board by Mary-Jo Avellar and will be at the June 1, 2005 meeting.

Winthrop Smith made a motion to adjourn.

Meeting adjourned at 8:00 p.m.
