Master Plan 5-Year Review   Mr. Hensinger will complete his draft of the changes suggested to date, including language concerning climate resiliency and solar. The Commissioners were encouraged to send their comments/suggestions to Mr. Hensinger for inclusion in the draft, which will then be distributed to the group for study prior to the next meeting.

Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs)   Mr. Caldwell and Mr. Hanley will work with Ms. Weingartner on the task assigned by the BHV Trustees to the Planning Commission regarding ADUs.  Since this task has a timeline of eight months (due for April 11, 2022 Trustees meeting), it may be necessary to call a special Planning Commission meeting to complete the assignment.

Other topics previously discussed include trees, steep slopes, dark skies and stormwater.
