HERITAGE COMMISSION:
Comments to Planning Board regarding Castle Reach Development. The Commission requests that special consideration be given to Morrison Road. This is a Scenic Road and is protected by State Statute. The natural features should not be compromised. Increased traffic should be avoided. Alternative routes and narrower road widths throughout the development should be considered.

The next meeting of the Historic District Commission will be on January 11, 2001 at 4pm Town Hall.

Respectfully Submitted,

Carol Pynn
Chairman, Historic District/Heritage Commission
