All approved. Discussion: • Discussion around the next list of potential items to work for Planning Committee 1) Operations/CAFOS-work to understand who can help work with us to create a plan much like that of Maiden Rock. The process was not just a quick process and it took time to ensure the ordinances were created in such as way that they would stand up to scrutiny-specifically from the corporations that are trying to create the CAFOS. 2) Subdivision Ordinance-or land use ordinance 3) Road Ordinance/Road Committee-This will require more discussion with the board and understand how they would want us to proceed and how that would engage with the board. 4) Quality of life Ordinance-noise, light pollution etc. How do we maintain the rural character of Martell as this was strong feedback from our survey. 5) Short term Rental Ordinance- Air B&B etc. While there maybe something today with the county regulating the Air B&B, neighbors etc. are not made aware or have input to when or where these are created. • Discussion around All Croix valuation process and reconciliation o The report from All Croix should reflect the permit cost and what they collected. o How is All Croix held accountable for their valuations etc. o Exceptions to their standards should require explanations as to why they would make an exception o Checks should be able to be reconciled and itemized with what the checks are actually covering o Planning committee to review contract and input on income streams from Robin around All Croix • No other actions relayed to the Planning Committee from the board other than to elect a new President with Prescott stepping back. o Nominations for President-Wayne was nominated for President and based on conversations with Prescott he would be open to remaining on as Vice President if the committee thought that was the right direction. o Motion was made by Travis for Wayne to become the President and Prescott to become the Vice President.
