3. Visitors
Linda Dudek, Town Clerk, noted the State of Connecticut has been offering an Historic Preservation Grant for several years which the Town has taken advantage of. She just received the current grant project to back file the old Land Records so once those are in the computer, one can search electronically back to 1843. Ms. Dudek noted an inordinate amount of time is spent searching for records. The State has an approved list of vendors, one being General Code of Rochester, New York. Ms. Dudek noted she sent in the grant application which has been received. The base price of the codification project with the web would be $9,700 with an Historic Preservation Grant of $7000. She has requested $4,500 from the Town to complete the project. Ms. Dudek reviewed what the codification project would consist of and what information would be available on the web. She felt this service would make information more readily available to town officials, employees and town's people. Ms. Dudek explained there is also an option to lazer fiche for board/commission minutes. It is anticipated this would start July 1, 2007. The annual maintenance cost would be $1,495 for the first year and $880 thereafter. Motion by Stull, second by Adametz, to accept the Codification Project as presented by Linda Dudek, Killingworth Town Clerk. PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.

7. New Business
(a) Special Exception Application #224 - Brad Turley, Seven Eighth's Farm LLC, 70 Route 80, Modification to Special Exception #185
Roger Nemergut reviewed the location of the property at 70 Route 80. Initially there was approval for a commercial riding/boarding stable, indoor riding arena in 2003. In 2004 there was an amendment to add stable space but that has not been done. The new plan is to put an addition on to the south side of the riding arena for indoor equipment storage. The proposal is to extend the length of the indoor riding arena 36 feet. It would be the same kind of structure, same ridge line. No running water or septic associated with this addition. Wetlands has already looked at this and will be submitting a letter. Mr. Nemergut will also submit this to the Code Official for review. Mr. Nemergut will prepare a Statement of Use and drawing as this will be treated as a new application and not a modification as he originally thought. A public hearing was scheduled for May 1, 2007.
8. Report of Officers and Subcommittees
(a) Update of Town Plan of Conservation and Development
There was discussion about other agencies adhering to the Plan and those agencies having their own strategic plans. The Commission should get in the habit of asking applicants how their proposal fits into their long range overall plan.
9. Adjournment
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:16 PM.
