001okay good evening everyone welcome to the March 4th 2025 meeting of the Lichfield planning board would you all please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance I pledge alance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation God indivisible with liberty and justice for all right I will do roll call of members Michael Coto chair Jared o Connell Vice chair Russell Blanchett member Letha Riley member Travis Tucker member welcome and uh welcome to Jamon Cara from nrpc and Joe McKibben our planning board uh administrator um we do not have um an alternate this evening um and we don't have a full board but we don't have an alternate so we won't be appointing an alternate tonight um first item is public input on non-agenda items items
002not listed on this agenda for this evening is there any members of the public that wish to comment on non-agenda items tonight okay hearing none I will close public input on non-agenda items we will go to uh the uh number one on the uh agenda which is an application and hearing hearing for a subdivision and two lot line adjustments owners are David and Linda sperberg tax map 3 Lot 29 119 Charles bankra Highway Brian Ward and Kayla Flanigan map 3 lot 38 nine Talent Road Scott McConnell and Janine sperberg map 3 lot 43 11 Talent Road adjust the lot lines between Lots 29 and 38 creating a 2.04 lot at lot 38 nine Talent Road adjust the lot lines between lot lots 29 and 43 creating a 1.59 acre lot at lot 43 11 Talent
003Road simultaneously subdivide adjusted Lot 29 into three lots two New Lots fronting on Talent Road the original Lot 29 will remain fronting at 119 Charles bankr highways the applicant present this evening yes all right would the applicant introduce himself to the board absolutely thank you Mr chair uh my name is p Madson senior project engineer at ke Nordstrom Associates uh representing the project applicant and owners uh here tonight to present the subdivision and laot line adjustment plan to you guys uh so obviously the property is located at the corner of Charles bankr and talent road map 3 Lot 29 uh we're looking to do three things here um the parent parcel is about 9 and2 acres in total area where looking to do a three lot subdivision creating two New Lots uh both those New
004Lots are about 1 and 1/2 acres in area uh those are demarcated in Blue on the plans uh the next piece is a lot line adjustment uh with lot 38 and that's shown in pink uh and then the next piece is the parcel B which is in yellow and that's going to be deed to lot 43 uh and then Lot 29 which is the parent parcel will retain the rest of the land uh New Lots will be serviced by Municipal Water and individual septic and uh access is going to be provided off Talent Road um it's pretty straightfor plan Chase Brook runs through the back of the site there from east to west to the river and uh that's about it so Happ to hear if you guys have any questions thank you okay thank
005you so um first of all we do have to accept the application for completeness that is part of our um our regulation um so at this time I'm going to ask Joan Joan have all the fees been paid and all the butters notified for this application yes fees have been paid but we statutorily sent the a butter notices on February 20th 12 of them and they all came back to me yesterday they said Return to Sender insufficient address unable to forward I called the post office and uh Executive Drive and explain the situation she said she would send a mail carrier out to pick them up he did and he did deliver some of them I can't guarantee that they all were delivered yesterday okay um Jay will explain three options right right well we
006may have some options here Jay maybe so yeah I mean obviously it's a bit of a curfuffle technically the town met its obligations because the abutter notices were sent out in a timely way which is our requirement there's no requirement that they need to be received okay however obviously um there are people who may have received their notices today and wanted to provide comment and didn't have that opportunity there may be people who have yet to receive their notices and might have wanted to provide comment and didn't have the opportunity so on the one hand we did meet Our satutory obligation on the other I I think you know just reason Common Sense would suggest that the effective notice wasn't provided for people so I I think it leaves us with um a a few
007options so so first of all I I do think the plan could be accepted uh and then the board could decide whether or not it wants to hear the case and defer final action until the next meeting that's an option another option is obviously one option is to just not move forward at at all um and you know option three would be to conditionally approve it to approve it how but with the caveat that if um any a butter came forward within the next week to 10 days um you know with an objection basically stting that they were unable to be heard uh and wished to be then we would bring it back up so I I think really those are the three options that we have don't hear it at all except plan open
008the hearing hear the case but defer final action until the next meeting which obviously gives people the opportunity to come forward if they wish well my my only concern is is that if I think you know I I understand that there's no um condition that it has to be received but I think in In fairness to the abutters um I think perhaps it might be best to not take action tonight until we make sure that all all people are notified and they have an opportunity to um come give them the opportunity at least to come to the meeting um and address um if they have any issues that they need to address um certainly I mean I just I feel that that's probably the more prudent tact given um that at least you know it's
009it's an opportunity it's it's due process I think people should have an opportunity to be heard um so I think if I mean and this is you know the board can weigh in in this as well I'm not just not me but I'm not the board but um I think it might be more in in in fairness to the abuts that we probably want to continue this to a date and time certain until we have every have at least have them have that notice that this hearing is tonight um rather than just move forward well if they get if they get the notice that was sent the original notice it will say March 4th they'll think that the meeting was so would you would they have to be Ren notified then obviously if we were
010going to do that so it would have to be then on whatever date the board thinks be prudent would the board want to accept and then not defer final action well I I I I'm I'm hesitant to accept only because part of the acceptance is to make sure because we have to say all the abuts have been notified and they haven't so we don't meet that requirement if they were all notified then that might be a different story but because we don't have notification for everybody I think it's In fairness that they should be notified that's just my perview if legally speaking we've met the obligation for acceptance then I would rather just accept and continue than just wait until the next meeting again I don't know what your thoughts are are you asking you
011mean accept the plan as complete and then proceed forward with a discussion yeah discuss it but also continue to time in date certain to a time in the future other thing that possibility is if we accept it we accept it not with the butters notified but we would put a caveat in that or we could that they would be notified for the next meeting but that's the only thing that's my only concern is um that that's part of our acceptance process I think either way if this is going to another meeting we will Ren notify just because the concept of continuing is that people had the notice and the opportunity yeah to hear and could have come if they wanted to so since people didn't have that opportunity regardless of whether you accept it and
012continue it or defer action entirely we'd R notify well I guess I have to ask the question too so what's going to prevent the same thing from happening again right so I mean is this an issue with the first time in in years that this has ever happen do this all the time you know you know what you're doing I've never heard of this happen I was going to say I don't I don't understand the post office because it was my project that's why it happened it just seems you know if we're going to renot if I I think I would take a ride up to Manchester because it didn't happen in Hudson evidently and find out why it happened yeah I mean if we want to thorough I think it's better to just table
013everything entirely rather than I do feel bad that these folks came out but I feel like if we open the discussion tonight that we might have to have it again that in In fairness to the abuts and that they should be notified and that they should be here if if this is going to go happen and if they choose to come but they should be notified and they should know about it that's the thing and um so I think we should defer until we are absolutely sure that everybody has been notified um for this application and if we have to resend the notices we'll have to do so it's unfortun dat were you suggesting the next meeting the next meeting can we do the next meeting ises would have to go out by Friday this
014Friday so can you do that could they get out by Friday why don't we do that then we'll schedule it for March 18th does that work for the applicant say does that work for you uh I have a prior conflict but I'll have someone from my office show show up yeah it'll be fine all right so um we're going need to take a I believe take a vote do we need to take a vote or no do you think you should just to make it I I would say take a vote um I mean you're because the action that you're taking tonight is to not accept the application right uh and defer consideration to the meeting of the 18th think could be a fair yeah you're not you know you're you're not accepting the application
015without prejudice and deferring consideration correct I think I like that without prejudice I think that makes sense yeah before we do that though um since we're trying to be fair to all the abutters um if these folks can't come would they have an opportunity to either say something right now or send in a letter if they can't make the 18th you know I don't if there are a Butters here this evening who got notice and are here for this meeting then um I guess you have a choice you can either come back on the 18th if you can't certainly we would accept any comments that would be of any of other for any project and at that time we could read them into the record if you weren't here um physically to be present for
016the hearing um that's fine that's perfectly fine I have no problem with that so okay these folks are better I didn't know if you could come back on the 18th probably okay I'm new to town I'm just telling meeting for time okay well welcome the butter okay very good they're usually not like this right yes no this is unusual um this wasn't unexpected um so I guess I'm going to entertain a motion um that we not accept to not accept um the application for completeness of this meeting and to defer it to the March 18th 2025 meeting anyone want ENT March 18th 18th yeah so I'll make a motion to uh not accept the um appli application for completeness without prejudice uh and to defer um it until or or to rehear it on uh
017the March 18th 2025 meeting okay I have a motion do I have a second second second any further discussion all right take a vote all those in favor of the motion please signify by saying I I those opposed abstained motion passes 500 0 sorry about that um hopefully it'll be better next time no worries guys um but as I said In fairness I think we numers that's I think you do yeah let's have this fully yeah completely complete I got that I just no I hope it doesn't I was going to say it's not her it's you know I know I know it's and this is unusual post office never I don't think I've ever workers are great but you know I don't know what happened there I don't the process just breaks down it
018does unforunately sorry you can show them the plan we'll have your revise plan anyway with all the issues show up yeah I'm not worried they a big enough shop over there that they do okay uh we're going to move on um to the committee well I guess that's all we have a committee reports any reports from any committees this evening have a good evening everybody we'll see you soon um so committee reports I the Conservation Commission is meeting on the 6th of March here in town hall uh at 700 p.m. um 6:30 oh 6:30 I'm sorry Capital Improvement is on April 7th I believe at 6:30 here in town hall I believe um of course the calendar I have no control over the calendar uh it could be at the fire station too I'm not

021to have a little bit of clarification on here that um Mr Cotto mentioned the meeting covered a proposal for truck storage facility period I'd like to see that comma in miramac just because reading it like this it's unclear where the truck storage facility is proposed to be built I want to make it clear it's not here in Lichfield it's in a neighboring community that will be um reviewed by by uh Lowa marac advisory committee and I don't know where the new solid recycling plant that wasn't part of the yeah that's a separate one right the that was something else was that something or a different I do know where is that I know the solid recy the solid recycling plant would was going to be the one in marac I don't know much about the
022truck storage I remember the truck storage the meeting that I attended was for the truck storage specifically it had nothing to do with the spee between us we've got it figured out like I do think we kind of mentioned both in passing like when we were just talking about stuff that's happening along the river and then um oh maybe it was something okay maybe it was a discussion so maybe just was also proposed along the river just add in also so it's not I don't know yeah they let's make it clear that they're separate yeah but they're not in lynfield they're not in lfi that's the most important that's right okay that's good um okay good catch um anything else if not I'll entertain a motion to approve them as amended so moved okay motion
023by Letha and a second second second by Russ any further discussion all right all those in favor of approving the February 18th 2025 minutes of which Feld planning board please signify by saying I I those opposed as amended those opposed abstained motion passes 500 okay thank you all right moving on uh to any other business um did Lea did you attend I think you said you were going to go and attend the um meeting regarding the gas line did you do that yeah I did in fact I wanted to report you all yeah so um it was actually well attended for 9:00 or whatever it was on a Tuesday morning I was pretty impressed um uh Kim ker Our Town manager was there and there were representatives from all the major dep departments Road management
024police fire um I know I've left people out the school a superintendent was here there were a whole host of people here um which was really great there were two representatives from Liberty Utilities who were here um they uh at a very high level just summed up very quickly what they were looking to do um and they believe it has strong advantages for Lichfield um and so we proceeded to ask them questions related to everything from safety to um um the the engineering part uh everything from the size of the pipe um um the the material of the pipe and why um and effectively they're going to be looking at a 12-in pipe because this is an elevated pressure line of 185 PSI I know when we were here last time and in the minutes
025I didn't adjust the minutes because they had said 160 PSI but it's not it's going to be 185 PSI apparently um and so um a lot of the discussion was around um uh first um on the plans they're it's very difficult as you remember when we looked through like 80 pages of plans to figure out where you were in Lichfield on those plans um so there were some recommendations made I mean there was tax map and lot numbers but let's face it like who who knows their tax map on lot numbers right so addresses or or owners or something to kind of help you figure out where on the road you are that you're talking about um would be helpful so um so they agreed to um to do that and so as you would
026imagine a lot of the safety officials in the room wanted to make sure that um once this project gets up and running that ultimately that all of those um all of the lines are appropriately uh depicted on our town GIS um so um so they were uh very open to that because I guess they do that anyway um with other towns that's not a foreign idea for them um so some of my questions uh had to do with what we all talked about um you know when we all sat here and discussed it we were like okay that's great but what's in it for Lichfield uh so first starting with the high pressure line you know at 185 PSI you you you need a depressurization stations basically uh junctures in the line that allow you
027to depressurize to then push it to a residential neighborhood and um you know they tell you it's got to to to in order to get to a residential neighborhood it it has to come down to like 60 PSI um so I asked um just picking four uh five Junction points I picked um Corning Road Albuquerque Pine Crest Hill Crest and Pine Crest and uh where the school was to have depressurization um with the purpose of in those first four intersections um to have the ability to Ranch offline and up those streets and into other neighborhoods if need be you know I just picked them out of a um there was no logic there other than just big intersections um and also the school because naturally if you could tie into that that'd be great um
028the push back I I would I would characterize it as push back um on that because um they LED with uh yes it's will be great for Lichfield and then all the things that Lichfield might want to do with it it was kind of met with well yeah well they talked more about new development so if in the north side of town for instance we know that um it's quite possible someone might put in um some kind of commercial uh activity up there and at that point it would be appropriate to talk about um if they had plans to to put in um a depressurization which would allow for that development to take advantage of the of the gas coming through there uh when I asked about a budget like where so basically I said
029so you you have not budgeted this in to put Point valve points or whatever you want to call them regulation stations depressurization I'm not the engineer here but but effectively their response was that this is a rate payer project and that um the cost would be going to go down to the rate payer and that effectively um they don't have a budget in the northern commercial district is the only one that already has existing natural gas lines yeah so I also um addressed some of the questions you guys asked about about um well you know if you're going to come down our street and inconvenience us with traffic and detours over the summer and everything else and we did talk about summer quite a bit because of the school you know like uh to to
030um uh when they do their construction schedule be mindful of the school and mels and other things that go on along 3A you know and we need to make sure that we uh um we don't um exacerbate that situation or those situations um and they uh we talked about maybe um sidewalk or some kind of offering of some kind with natural vegetation and and again I got this um basically oh there is no budget you you don't you know this is a this is a rate payer um project um so I'm not sure we were talking to the higher level folks um within you Liberty Utilities who would have the um ability to speak freely about any kind of um Goodwill that they could provide to the community so I suggested that they think very
031carefully before they come to the planning board and that these were some of the things that we'd be interested in and that they we would certainly be asking them for so it's rate payer funded and it sounds like none of the rate payers are here in Lichfield so it doesn't matter to me what we do their costs yeah so so what was it that they said was going to benefit lfi so again they that's why like I said they LED with that claimed Lichfield was going to benefit from this but at the by the end of the meeting it was sort of wrapped up that you know we're going to get all of the downside and none of the upside so again I come back to what's in it for L it sounds and I
032said that to them about three times so they won't be coming to the planning board they're totally working in the state right way it sounds to me yes and no there are some owners that there there are some pinch points in the plan and I can't remember what pages they were I want to say like 12 and 15 like there there were certain parts along 3A where it really gets pinched and they would have to go into um uh some private property and they would be having those discussions with those property owners so um I hear you that 3A is a you know it's a state road I get it but this is also our town so and the the police detail and everything else that's going to come with that you know that they'll
033be paying for the police detail one one suggestion was to make the um the uh shoulders wider the shoulders they uh I asked in I said um in the plans on the comment section on every page it kept reiterating it was a copy and pace which was we rip up pavement we do our work we cover it up and we put down pavement where it was before and I ask is there any deviation from that and nope it was a what we rip up we replace and that was the extent of what they were offering they're also going to beely they're not offering us anything going to be outside the payment in some most of it I think so not to cross I told them that they would need to um get Buy in from
034the town they intended to have an informational session for the town so I said well good for you because a lot of people are probably going to show up and have a lot of questions and I said I'm prepping you for the kinds of questions that they're going to be asking so my strong suggestion is you have some answers that at least are palatable to the public and know there will be wetlands and packs and stream Crossings so oh yeah and those are identified on the you know on the plan we did start the meeting off with the um there was a representative from the um Conservation Commission forgive me I don't I don't know his name um but he was here and he um uh I think Miss cler had asked if there if
035he had any issues with any of the um that the animals that were identified on there and that they had they had worked closely with them to actually make sure that their needs were uh addressed so animals are with was it the was it part of the alteration of terrain sounds like animals and vegetation but I don't I don't know to what extent the conversation didn't go that much in depth it just more of a who's talking to who and are we all are they all being heard I did get a call from last week from somebody who wanted to know if the Directional Boring had any uh Lichfield regulations attached to it and I called them back and I haven't heard from it was an out of state call so it's probably a subcontractor
036for them you're talking about that Drilling the drilling under the stream there's a bigger question about the wetlands on the where they're going towards the river yeah I don't know if George got chance to ask about that we did talk um the only point where they talked about well they okay the only point where they talked about um different types of boring they referred to a direct bore one late in a time when we talked about um was there any way that you didn't have to completely shut down 3A because they were talking about you know particularly where you criss cross the street um to get on the other side of the the other lines um you know could we do it one lane at a time um and they said they did have the
037ability to direct War one one lane at a time but that was the extent of the conversation about any kind of um drilling they did they did talk about um 3 ft I'm thinking to myself 3 feet that's not even below the frost line so I well under the 3 feet under the stream I think uh they were just talking in general so at certain at certain points again you know again I'm not the engineer I can't profess a lot of this was a general level conversation it'll be good they'll have an informational meeting yeah yeah so they claim they're going to come back and have a a town townwide kind of thing and I don't know if that mean show up at a selectman's meeting or it sounded like a sort of a dog
038and pony Road show kind of thing on a Saturday at the Town Hall kind of thing but but I might Mis be misinterpreting that I don't know yeah it sounds to me like the potential benefit to Lichfield is if someone or some if some company wants to spend a lot of money tapping into the line enough money will make that happen but that's it yeah Yes sounds like the potential benefit to Lichfield is from the permit fees we're going to levy on this project for their Directional Boring and everything else they intend to do well and I you know yes it's a state road but do we have any leverage with taxing per linear foot of pipeline all changing that's all changing what we just got to notice of RSA that's changing we used to
039be able to change to charge for infrastructure in town no longer um I'm trying to think through my notes a little bit more there was um uh for anyone who cares the uh the materials that the pipes are made of are going to be steel because they have to be I guess at that high pressure um and the welds for um just from a safety standpoint um all the weld points um will be x-rayed to ensure that you know there's no breach there um so I mean you know clearly they've done this before clearly they know what they're doing um I don't worry so much about the safety and I I I I sensed that most um most of the folks who are way more knowledgeable about than me about that kind of thing um
040felt at ease with that um but you know I I I would like to have more ability for the town to benefit even if it's even if it's just at the school points um you know to allow for one juncture point or valve point point or whatever depressurization whatever you call it um in order to uh Fe GMS maybe LMS yeah get some benefit and that's right to Pine Crest so yeah there'd be some opportunity there potentially should be a a good inventory of um pipe buried with the intention of someday tying into a project like this I know 2013 2014 or so the the selectman had U made some arrangements at the time with the utility that as they were opening up roads they would embed pipes with the intention of future use wonder
041if we did that at Albuquerque I don't know I'm not sure what the status of the project is where the U maps are what type of pipe gas pipe Frank Byron had uh talked about this years and years ago just gas pipe and then it would would not be functioning now right it would be uh buried in place with the intention that when a viable project came along that pipe would be existing could be tied into the project and you have pre-built infrastructure like a conduit yeah the problem that was the the depressurization and that it's not your average pipe with the ability to pipe in and that they it sounds Ed to me I I don't know this for facts so forgive me if I'm speaking a term but it sounded to me like
042they had to build the infrastructure in place with those with those depressurization units or stations that putting them in at the outset is um not only more financially feasible but also makes allows for the project to work period I I mean I don't know that you could do it after the fact based on the way they answered the questions again I'm no engineer but and I've got no sense of the cost but it just seems really shortsighted not to at least provide a couple of opportunities for future rate payers yeah that's as a percentage of the project cost that would be like a rounding error probably it's got to be I mean yeah every single foot is a lot of money to to do this just building something right next to it in a few
043locations would be so small yeah but not if you not if you if you're envisioning it as a distribution line you're and that's that's basically how they're they're envisioning it oh so I you know again it's possible the individuals that we here are not privy to or empowered to say or promise anything beyond their pay you know right um we you know I I don't know but you know I gave them the message from all you uh and that what things that we'd be asking and looking for um and there might be pu requirements that we're not aware of it's possible yeah but you know I I also find it gas pipelines have gone through enough communities in this state let alone all over the place around the country that um I've already started looking
044um and I'll find something oh yeah I'll find something that we can benefit from you know so it's been done before I will find it so that's my mission anyway cuz if we're going to you know we talked about the disruption to as I mentioned before the school season versus not in the summer mels which is now both the summer but also the Spooky World and and also the um now the Holly Jolly jungle holiday season you know and and the farm stands you know the farm stands all up and up and down 3A if you're going to divert people up and around well you know at some point people are going to say well I'm just going to go over to the next town over you know we don't want that so yeah you
045know well there's a lot of information um we thank you for attending the meeting appreciate it and all the um input that you provided I think that it's good um and or probably if they do decide to have a town session um certainly something to to keep in mind and um you know obviously having that conversation is is good so I think you know at least lay the groundwork for it so and I would recommend that at least one maybe two of us be there y to so they don't just hear it from one person that they no I agree you know and then so that the public can benefit from that type of questioning too because we're here to protect their interests as well right i' hope it can be televised absolutely yeah yeah
046I I don't understand why it wasn't it was on a Tuesday morning yeah it doesn't matter it was a technical review committee meeting I don't understand why Technic committee meeting but I would Advocate strongly such a big project like that in town that that should be televised and I agreed with your original assessment that just we were told afterward that it wasn't going to be um all right maybe they weren't ready for prime time but they will be next time [Laughter] hopefully well yeah we'll see we will see absolutely okay well thank you uh for that report um anybody have anything else got just a couple things so one is really just a public service announcement for everyone here but the viewing public as well so I I I'm not sure if a lot of
047people know probably most people don't know that nrpc has an Affiliated Foundation uh and we do have some funding uh for a program that we've kicked off which is our rides program and so what it is is uh we have funding to provide rides for elderly people and people with disabilities who need to get to medical appointments who need to get to some you know necessary service um uh it's meant to fill gaps in service uh we do have some service in this region in the soan valley towns Nashua marac Hudson has limited service Lichfield is one of the communities that has no service providers whatsoever for a pair of Transit um needs so this funding is available uh if anybody is aware of anyone who is in need of a ride um you know
048they can call our office and we will connect you to it our first stop as always is there an alternative service and if there there isn't um you know we will pay the for that cost for a qualifying individual including uh we've actually been able to pay for rides to people to a medical appointment in Boston so it's not necessarily just limited to local we've been able to cover a ride to the airport for someone who really needed to get there so uh it's out there it's worthwhile it's who knows how long the funding will last but we have it now through two different sources and uh so one was a grant uh through St Maries um for that's wheelchair only and then we uh have another pot of funding that we can use more
049broadly so it's out there um you know like people to take advantage of it and secondly I have I guess what I would kind of call an erotic sheet which is relevant not exactly AA so they left um when we handed out the red books the last time there was a missing statutory provision so Lexus Nexus has handed this out if you actually read the directions you can adhere this to over the page in your book okay or you can just do what I did is fold it and stick it in the appropriate section um what I guess is just everybody got one right but so what they left out was if you look at the second column on the right hand side Romans 7 was what was omitted and it just happens to be
050relevant to um our discussion on parking uh which is going to come up because you can see at the end of that paragraph uh there's specific statutory limitations now on parking that we can require uh so it's relevant it's there stick it in your book it'll come up again when we chat about parking at our next work session uh and then the only other thing I would just add to that is uh I'm not sure how many folks are watching but uh there's a lot of legislation out there there are numerous housing related bills and planning and zoning related bills uh covering a whole gamut of issues from whether you can serve on a zoning board and a planning board simultaneously to limitations on restrictions that you can place on I mean all all kinds
051of things lot size is probably the biggest one that actually really doesn't affect lch field um uh because L field doesn't require large lot zoning but it it really runs the gamut there's so many of them out there that I tend not to zoom in a whole lot until we get past committees because a lot of stuff dies in committee bills wind up getting Consolidated but we are getting to that point now so anyway just just good to know if anybody is interested I get regular spreadsheets on kind of the status of where everything is and guess there just so many I'm not going to read them all so I'll wait I'll wait and see and of course new New Hampshire Municipal Association sends out of a lot of alerts for things so I get
052those to hearing coming up this is important um so at any rate lot happening interesting and I know that there was a lot of stuff on the news this evening uh if you watched uh Channel 9 they did a lot of talked a lot about that uh in terms I didn't catch that that's good too housing and the the the the land use and all that stuff so what's going on in the legislature right now a lot certainly is well thank you for this can I have I'm going to give you the rest of these there's yeah there's one in there for everybody who got a red book okay great anything else Jerry uh that's all I've got okay Joan do you have anything no I don't okay anybody else I guess uh when when's
053the next uh scheduled uh workshop for it was the 18th but I think it's not going to be we could I think we can still open the workshop we might not do as much as we might have but I'm guessing this this application won't take the whole night so yeah it's it's a minor I think it's a minor we have a a home occupation should go pretty quickly all right then whenever we don't get Workshop wise we'll just carry over to the next one okay sounds good very good thank you um I have nothing else for this evening um I guess voting is March 11th so get out Tuesday next Tuesday so 7 to S right okay we'll see what happens with our uh zoning amendments and stuff and I did I held off on
