accepted that the School Sites Committee will have to <br />select sites and negotiate options before that time. <br />Hence any tentative suggestions which the Planning Board <br />wishes to make may well be relayed to the Sites Committee <br />in the immediate future. If there are some sections of the <br />Town where the Planning Board considers it desirable to <br />"hold up" on site selection, we would be glad to be so ad- <br />vised. <br />2) In general the Planning Board would like to see new sites <br />selected at locations which are central to "neighborhood" areas, <br />with school district boundaries conforming to "natural" <br />boundaries and major highways. <br />3) The selection of sites should reflect the "ultimate" popu- <br />lation of the Town, based on present zoning. Matters of <br />timing of school construction can be considered later. The <br />Planning Board expressed an interest in assisting the Sites <br />Committee in determining what this ultimate pattern would be. <br />(Incidentally, do you really feel that the old long-range <br />"plan", based on Steiner's work, can be used effectively? It <br />was my impression that you recognized its irrelevance, due to <br />zoning changes, etc. My feeling would be that a map showing <br />existing buildings and platted areas - which we have discussed - <br />would be the best starting point. Ii' you will get me a copy <br />of that map, either a year or two old or up-to-date, I will. <br />try to carry on from there. Unless you have some constructive <br />alternative suggestion I would urge that a copy of such map be <br />made available at the earliest possible date. If' this means <br />that Engineering Department staff time must be allocated to <br />the job, please let me know and I will try to expedite it <br />"through channels".) <br />Sincerely, <br />/s/ Roland B.
