Attendees:  Peggy Sloan, Kimberly Noake MacPhee, Ted Cady, Jan Conover,
Brian Gale, Brad Compton, Reva Reck, John Williamson, Mary Williamson,
Wendy Chandler, Nick Arguimbau

Ted Cady called the meeting to order at 5:34 PM in the Town Hall Dining
Room.

Ted thanked Bill Labich for his good services to the Town; expressed
regret at losing his services and wished him well in his new job.

Reva Reck asked about WiFi transmitter limitations in the new zoning. 
Ted replied that the ZTF is not proposing any zoning related to cell
towers or Wifi transmitting.

Brian Gale expressed concerns that there was no explicit provision for
condominiums and without that provision the process was flawed and would
need to be revisited.

Ted reported on the outcome of the Village Center District Subcommittee
Meeting on August 6.  Mary Williamson had made an effort to encourage
some of those folks living the Village Center to attend.  While no one
was opposed to forming a Village Center Zoning District there was not
much support for it.  Some thought forming a Historical District would
give it better protection. Lacking strong support, it was agreed to drop
the effort for the time being.

Peggy Sloan distributed a handout of various towns' accessory apartment
bylaws and explained them.  A general discussion followed.  Peggy will
do a draft under Section 2.C.9. for review at the next ZTF meeting.  It
will allow attached or detached accessory apartments, not to exceed two
dwelling units per lot, not exceeding 800 sq. ft. provided there is
adequate parking, water, and septic.

Peggy suggested that the permitted uses be listed to clarify that
section of the Bylaws.

Peggy went over the Draft of the Public Information Power Point
Presentation.  It was discussed at some length and amended.  Peggy will
send the amended version for review at the next ZTF Meeting.
