Developments of Regional Impact (DRI) Mr. Garber reported that discussions about establishing <br />a process for multi -town review of Developments of Regional Impact (DRI) were continuing. There is <br />still work to do but it seems to be moving toward acceptability among the towns. The thresholds that <br />would trigger such a review are still very low. Jeanne Krieger, Chairman of the Board of Selectmen, has <br />stressed how important it is for the Planning Board to vote in support of a DRI review process, even if the <br />vote has many qualifiers. The Board decided to send a supportive, conditional letter. <br />2000 TOWN MEETING <br />44. Comprehensive Plan Mr. Davies felt that it was not necessary to do a presentation before Town <br />Meeting on the comprehensive plan as there had been no questions raised by Town Meeting when the <br />budget override item was debated and the planning budget had passed. Mr. Bowyer pointed out that Mr. <br />Garber had made presentations, including to the Board of Selectmen and the TMMA, and there seem to <br />be no outstanding questions. It was decided that the document "Summary, Highlight of Comprehensive <br />Plan FY2000" should be posted to the web site. Mr. Davies suggested that the web site URL be placed on <br />the stationery letterhead. All agreed it was an excellent idea. <br />* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** PLANNING BOARD POLICIES <br />45.
