3rd order of business:
Revised site plan for Jim Cameron on the Camels Hump properties on River Road:
Randy opened meeting @ 8pm. He asked Jim to go over the changes he had made to the site plan. 
Jim produces a new site plan showing the TRUE location of the class 4 road right of way, also the changes for the 3 proposed houses and the set backs. The 23 parking spaces were reduced to 9 spaces. The plan also showed a turn around area for each house so they wouldn’t have to back out on the right of way.
All the items that were identified @ the previous meeting were addressed and answered including downcast low wattage lights.
The only addition was a turn around area for vehicles in the upper part of the road. This will be done per Jim.
Moe made the motion to accept the plan if the select board approves the right of way per the new survey. 
The road is plowed and cared for by Jim
If the select board doesn’t approve the plan,  the plan must come before the DRB again for pre-approval. Once approved it will pave the way for Jim to apply for the 3 properties
And the improvements on the new site plan.
Ken 2nded the motion all approved and will address the select board decision on April 10th meeting. Meeting adjourned @ 8:45 pm.
