The Chairman called the meeting to order at 7:00 PM. Minutes for October 17, 2006 were approved as amended, 5-0. Minutes for October 03, 2006 were not available for review. Jamie and Anita will complete and have prepared for the next meeting.
2. Comments from guest(s).
Ken commented that he thought the meeting on October 03, 2006 was outstanding. The speaker understood his topic and expressed many valid points on planning. Growth planning in York appears to be a continuous and dynamic process involving many of the town’s committees.
3. Review the past “Town Character”
Charlie commented that the town has lost the gathering places that provided a sense of community.
Ken commented that we should focus on the positive attributes of the community.
4. Re-write “Town Character”.
Jamie recommended that we use the verbiage from the 1996 Comprehensive Plan and include the diagram of the town from the character section of the 2003 Comprehensive Plan submittal. Dan suggested that we include the Town Goals and Policies from the character section of the 2005 Comprehensive Plan submittal. The strategies for implementing the goals and policies would be managed through Land Use ordinances. Ken suggested that one of the strategies would be for the GPC to review Land Use ordinances to ensure they are compliant with the Goals and Policies of the plan. Jamie asked Werner to put together a chapter with the verbiage from the 1996 Comprehensive Plan, the map from the 2003 Comprehensive Plan submittal and the Goals and Policies from the 2005 Comprehensive Plan submittal.
5. Begin identification of future “Guest” and their issues, “Calendar”
Target January 2007 for meetings to review the “Character” chapter with the towns’ people.
7. Additional Business

Motion to adjourn the meeting was made by Charlie, was seconded and approved, 5-0.
