Peg Scofield from Killingworth Today was present. She inquired about the survey and how many responses have been received to date. It was explained the Planning & Zoning Commission have the responsibility to update the Town's Plan of Conservation and Development every 10 years. Comments will also be solicited from other boards, commissions and selectmen within the Town. Based on that document, the Commission will then review its regulations to see if any amendments would be necessary.

Hopefully a draft will be completed by June, sent out for review during the summer and finalizing in the fall with a public hearing in November or December.

6. Zoning Enforcement Officer's Report
(a) C. Jefferson noted she received responses from 2 individuals on Schnoor regarding motor vehicle junk. Both on Schnoor Road should be cleaned up by next week. The one on Burr Hill Road will probably require a Cease & Desist Order.
(b) C. Jefferson noted the Sherwood Forest Bond came in at $217,000 which was more than the owner wants to spend. The majority of that is for the culvert for Lots 4 and 6. He would like to know if the work could be done in two phases. Phase One would be the cul-de-sac road and phase two would be the two houses with the culverts. The Town Engineer advises that the money for the cul-de-sac would be the same amount that would be kept until the culvert was done. C. Jefferson noted this was a private road. If the Commission agrees, the owner would come in with a formal request to do phases. Discussion followed. C. Jefferson noted the Town Engineer thinks it is a reasonable idea and she would like to run it past Commission Counsel. It was agreed to have the owner come in to discuss this further with an amended plan showing the two phases.
(c) L. Annino asked the status of the open items relative to the new Intermediate Middle School. C. Jefferson noted a new Temporary Certificate of Occupancy was issued today. They are still working on items and the leak has been found in the tank. They are supposed to be putting up a net for the ball field to catch any balls going toward the road.
