Tom introduced the new member Mort Salomon to the Planning Board.
- Unanticipated Business.
Tom reported that the results of the Hume case were released yesterday. Tom asked the Town Attorney what they should do next, and both recommended starting fresh. Tom spoke with Tim and reported that they did not know when they would resubmit. Tom suggested that if the plan is the same then resubmit the plan, but if there are any changes, they could submit the new plans. It was ruled in Hume’s favor that the camp was for religious purposes.
- Master Plan draft work
Seth provided an update regarding the Master Plan, which had been revised as of May 31, 2023. The Planning Board Members discussed photographs to be utilized in the document. The Planning Board Members thoroughly reviewed the document with Seth and made recommendations to modify the wording in particular areas.

The Planning Board members will continue to review the document on their own and will present their feedback to each other during the next meeting.
