New Business
A. Review and Recommendations for the 2012 Land Allocation Plan

Chair Faulkner opened discussion on the purpose of the Land Allocation Plan and what the Board’s responsibilities were in regards to the annual review.

A brief discussion on the history of the parcel that the Board was interested in on page D2 of the draft land allocation plan; the likelihood that it would ever be bought due to the extreme slope and stumps make it just about impossible for sale; the Board questioned access also to the parcel and agreed it should be designated as conservation area if it cannot be sold.

SEAMAN/SCHROEDER – MOVED TO RECOMMEND THE PARCEL ON PAGE D-2 OF THE LAND ALLOCATION PLAN BE SOLD AND THE PROCEEDS USED TO PAY DOWN THE LOAN ON THE HOMER LIBRARY AND THE BOARD ADDITIONALLY RECOMMENDS IF THE PARCEL IS NOT SOLDIT SHOULD BE DESIGNATED AS A CONSERVATION BUFFER.

There was no further discussion.
