Wayne Comprehensive Plan Committee Sets Chapter Review Process

The Wayne Comprehensive Plan Committee met on September 21 to approve prior meeting minutes and settle on a process for reviewing draft chapters of the town's comprehensive plan. Members agreed that each chapter will have a lead and a co-lead, with the full committee reviewing drafts before they are finalized, and they discussed document storage and project management tools to track the work.

Key points

• The committee unanimously approved meeting minutes for July 20 and August 17, with a correction striking the chair from the July 20 attendance.
• Resident Tico Brown praised the well-attended community survey meeting and the quality of comments, and said he will be away for the winter after two more months.
• Members agreed each chapter will have a lead and a co-lead, with the chair reviewing all chapters for substance, format, and consistency before full committee review.
• The committee discussed the flood vulnerability assessment but held it over until hard copies are available, since the document is map-heavy and currently only electronic.
• A letter from Stan Davis recommending a review of town ordinances was discussed; members agreed the committee can recommend ordinance changes but that formal review is the planning board's job.
• The committee discussed using Dropbox for shared document storage and Trello for project management, with Bob volunteering to set up Trello and Chris to set up Dropbox.

Next steps

• Paula will follow up with Shannon about hard copies of the flood vulnerability assessment and about Dropbox storage options.
• Chris will set up a shared Dropbox directory for the committee and invite members.
• Bob will mock up a Trello board based on the chapters and teams for the committee to review.
• Members will think about which chapters they want to lead or co-lead, and the committee will finalize assignments and timelines at its next meeting.
• Paula will send out the transportation chapter draft once she gets missing information from Shannon.
