The map looks at logical places that roads could be extended. The map could be used for when new developments come to the town for approval.

Discussion on the possible purchase of a new decibel meter for enforcement of the Conditional Use Permit (signed by the Town) for the winery that sets decibels no higher than 75 on Friday thru Sunday.
