RECOMMENDATION COMING TO BOARD...

At the last agritourism committee meeting, where I was one of two audience members, the committee approved its recommendation to advance to the Board at their upcoming meeting Monday evening.




That is, they are advising the Board to appoint a Task Force with access to the attorney and a planner to study the subject further.  It was recognized that this issue needs more time to be done right, along with critical input from professionals.  This path is similar to that which was taken with the transfer of building rights and makes sense.

The general feedback from the open house was varied, with some uses being considered okay to be allowed with somewhat minimal regulation, while others were thought to require conditions in the permitting process.  Thank you to all who came to the event and/or sent in feedback!





It will be interesting how the Board responds to this recommendation. Hopefully, they will heed the advice of those they appointed to examine this issue and approve the Task Force, including the access to professional assistance.



I notice that the website is on the agenda for the Board meeting.  I sincerely hope the Board will finally get this fixed (there was never a need for us to go without the password!) so that the information from the open house and the minutes from all the agritourism meetings will be available to you, the public, to examine and inform yourselves about!
