Minutes for the Meeting of February 20, 2008 Page 5 <br /> <br />would look into it. Mr. Hornig wanted to see a limit of work line. Mr. Canale said he could foresee a <br />number of smaller steps might be needed to try to make this an acceptable plan. He said he wanted <br />another sketch plan with more information to be brought before the Board rather than a preliminary plan. <br /> <br /> Mr. Zurlo asked for another sketch plan with more information showing what the property actually <br />looked like. He felt that this would be an ideal candidate for a Sketch-Up presentation. A model like this <br />would show the additive and subtractive elements being proposed and it could tell the story in a quick <br />way. <br /> <br />Ms. McCall-Taylor asked the Board to weigh in on the number of units.

Ms. McCall-Taylor said the Board would need <br />to decide what its expectation would be for the associate member’s participation. <br /> <br />Mr. Hornig said legally the Associate would only participate in the issuance of a special permit, but the <br />person should be involved sooner rather than later. Mr. Canale said potential candidates could be former <br />Planning Board Members or someone who would be interested as a future Planning Board member. It <br /> <br />
