Updates on Action Items: ~~.",
Madaket MarineZoning: Dave Fronzuto is going to provide the 2005 Ch'::~1 Licen~ Barn
LaFarge will meet with one of the owners after Christmas to discuss plans and concerns. Andrew
Vorce suggested to Sarah Oktay that the HPIC proceed with the warrant articles at thiSitage, even
though he has not yet met with Madaket Marine representative Bill Hunter.
Wording of Overlay District and Grandfathering Articles for ATM:
No progress has been made yet. Andrew has been overwhelmed recently, and will be away until
January 8. The articles have to be ready for the Planning Board meeting on Jan 14, for presentation to
the BOS on January 23.
Notification of Property Owners Within Proposed Overlay Districts: No progress has been made
in this regard. The HPIC as a Committee does not have the authority to issue such a letter. After
much discussion, and following a suggestion by Brian Chadwick, it appeared that the Planning Board
was probably the right department to issue the letter notifying the owners of the proposed Overlay
District. Sarah Oktay will draft a letter and follow up on getting the list of addresses t minimize the
work for the Planning Board.
Letter from state DEP indicating approval of Harbor Overlay articles: Sarah Oktay has
contacted Steve McKenna from the Mass DEP. The state is OK with proceeding with the Harbor
Overlay District articles. He will contact Libby Gibson to see what level of approval (email or letter)
is required and will provide what is needed.
Discussion of Water Quality Implementation Items: (Results of discussion)
Index # 21 - School Curriculum: Put on hold until MCAS situation is clarified. This is a major job.
Index # 22 - Water Quality data on Web: Sarah is under way with this project.
Index # 23 - Blue Water Guide: Sarah has this under way. Funding sources are identified and ready
to provide support. Manpower to do the task is the issue.
Index # 24 - Provide copies of the Blue Water Guide to homeowners, renters, etc.: Linked to
previous item. Funding sources identified.
Index # 25 - Mark Storm Drains: Deserves high priority. Timeline should be 1 year
Index # 26 - Develop list of hazardous materials, chemicals: Important. Timeline should be 1 year.
Marine Dept. should be the lead (need Committee Concurrence). This would go into homeowners
packet (Index # 24) and to all mooring holders.
