3) Encourage adherence to the Town Plan of Conservation & Development by all applicants
4) Create a Land Use Steering committee comprised of the Chairs of all land use commissions
Minutes: The minutes of the May 8, 2007 Regular Meeting were approved by a consensus of the
members.
Enforcement Officer’s Report: There was no written report from Cathie Jefferson but members discussed the Lovers Lane ‘Proposal – New Order/Change Order’ submitted by Environmental Compliance Services, Inc., for collection of soil samples that she had received. The commission had requested that test borings be done when the ERT was done a few months ago. No borings were done at that time. Members discussed the fee associated with the proposal from Environmental Compliance Services, Inc. T. Doyle moved, seconded by R. Tanko, to spend $1000 from the IWWC budget for test borings on Lovers Lane with the condition that the balance of the expense be paid by the Town. The motion carried unanimously. Vice-Chairman J. Himmelman will discuss with First Selectman Marty Klein.
