It was unclear. He suggested a need to talk with the County Planning Board about how to establish a good process. – There was discussion on laws to research and perhaps suggest for change: A. Windmills B. Outdoor Wood Stoves C. Trailer/Mobile Homes Things to keep in mind regarding windmills: there is not enough wind in Madrid to support windmills Things to keep in mind regarding the outdoor wood stoves: Canton has outlawed outdoor wood stoves NYS came out with a law requiring a pipe to be the same height as high as the lowest part of the house roof The Planning Board thinks it would be nice to build and maintain a website where parents could see all the town events geared towards children. The website would be used to publicize library hours, skating, softball, park events, and more. Meeting Adjourned at 7:34pm
