OTHER BUSINESS Chair Perkins reported that Alternate Member King has resigned from the Board. Chair Perkins brought up a project on the corner of Cedar Street that had been previously approved, and asked whether the project was ever completed. Planning Officer Collette responded that she was not sure, but thought she remembered that a zone change had been completed (which was what the Board had approved) but that the remainder of the development project had been discontinued. Chair Perkins asked the Board whether there was any desire to change the standing meeting time. Member Bazinet commented that the longer meetings can sometimes be difficult with a later starting time, but noted that he does not have a preference regarding a change. Members Brush & Hayes and Vice Chair Boucher expressed that they are in favor of keeping the 7:00 meeting time. Member Jonas expressed that she generally prefers an earlier time, but she is fine with keeping the meetings at 7:00. Staff commented that a change in time could be arranged, but that they would need to work around the meeting schedules of other boards/commissions. Board members agreed to keep the meeting time of 7:00 PM on Tuesdays. Meeting adjourned at 7:31 pm. Respectfully submitted, Sarah Maquillan, Development Assistant Planning Division Page 3� 3
