SPECIAL CAMA MEETING A large crowd gathered at Town Hall on Monday,
September 2^, to hear a discussion of the town’s
DRAV/S LARGE CROWD proposals and policies for the implementation
of the CAMA Land Use plan. In addition to the
commissioners and committee members who drew up the plan, the meeting
also was attended by Gaile Pittman, staff representative of the Coastal
Planning Board.
f Planning Board Chairman Curt Johnson introduced Art Browne, former
fm. commissioner and past member of the Planning Board, who
esented the **areas of concern” in the proposal, which was followed by
the policy statement concerning each item. The concerns were: resource
protection, economic and community development, provision of services to
the town, waterways maintenance, continuing public participation in town
affairs, and resource production and management.
Commissioner Larry Jerome then spoke on the importance of supporting
and maintaining the policies if the town is to continue as a desirable
residential area in the future. However, he said there are two areas
over which the town has little influence. They are, he said, the town’s
water supply and sanitary treatment plants. V/ith respect to future growth
of the town Mr. Jerome said projected population in 15 to 20 years can
be expected not to exceed 9,000 persons.
Both'Paul Foster and Ms. Pittman complimented the town on its
presentation and the throughness of the plan, and predicted acceptance
by the Coastal Resources Commission.
The Board of Commissioners then voted the approval or the plan, and

owners later this year.
