Public Meeting Minutes
November 17, 2005, 7 p.m.


Commissioners present: Mike Nelson, Elaine Roundy, Connie Reid, Tim Clarke; Eric Feiler, Peg Smith, secretary
Public present: Sergio Femenias, Don Montoya, Brian Dick, Jon Pratt


Mike brought the meeting to order at 7:07 p.m. The agenda for the public meeting was:
• Discuss procedures for sub-division application
• Set agenda for next meeting


Tim moved to approve the minutes from November 8 pending a minor mechanical edit, Connie seconded the motion, and the minutes were approved.


Discuss Procedures for Sub-Division Application
Tim opened the discussion with an update on his sub-division road research: Judi has ordered copies of a Utah League of Cities and Towns (ULCT) book on roads, which should arrive soon. Besides the basic road clearances specified in the ordinances, the town should be including engineering standards and fire protection requirements, rather than just telling applicants to figure it out themselves.
Everyone concurred generally with the “punch list” Curtis had produced of line item requirements for the Zoning Administrator (Donna Jean) to check off after receiving an application for sub-division. Eric agreed to pursue information on the legality of re-sub-dividing original sub-divisions.
Mike recommended that the town amend Section 400.2 (Availability of Services) to reflect the new S.B. 60 requirements for the Letters of Feasibility from the water and septic inspectors.
Connie made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Eric. Mike adjourned the meeting at 8:05 p.m.


Agenda for Next Meeting
So far, no one has submitted a logo for the Boulder General Plan, so Mike suggested that the Commission kick in $5/member as prize money to the Boulder Elementary student who submits the chosen entry. All commissioners agreed to contribute the money; Mike will check with the school to make sure it’s a good idea from that end.
Official notice has been sent to the Garfield County Insider for the General Plan discussion to be held December 8. Eric suggested that the Commission provide desserts to lure in participants, and all agreed to that idea.
Eric also mentioned that a new person will be needed at the start of the year to replace Tim Clarke on the Commission. Mike said anyone can call the mayor to suggest names.
Elaine moved to cancel the December 22 meeting, and Tim seconded the motion; all approved. Connie moved to adjourn the meeting, Eric seconded. Mike adjourned the meeting at 8:05 p.m.
