READING OF THE MINUTES OF THE PREVIOUS MEETING The minutes of the previous meeting were approved as read. FIRST READING OF ZONING CHANGE Mr. Whittlesey, Vice-Chairman, asked Mr. LeClair, Town Manager, to explain the location of the property in question to the Board before the proposed ordinance was read. Mr. LeClair pointed out the location of the property in question on the map and said that Mr. Kellner had indicated to him that placement of a road through the Ladeau property had been discussed by the Planning Commission at one time. Mr. Whittlesey read the proposed ordinance then explained to the interested persons present, that the first reading of a proposed ordinance was a formality, and the Board could not make a decision at this time. He said that after the first reading is approved, the proposed ordinance is submitted to the Planning Commission for their recommendation. The Planning Commission then considers the proposed amendment and reports its findings to the Board of Selectmen, with its recommendation, within thirty days. The time and place of the second public hearing is then advertised at least fifteen days prior to the hearing. Professor Bogorad spoke in favor of a total zone change, and outlined the advantages of having the area all zoned Residential A. Mr. Hoskam also gave his views on the matter, and said he felt many home owners, particularly retired couples, would prefer smaller lots which are easier to maintain. Professor Bogorad asked if the Selectmen had received a petition signed by residents of the area in question, in favor of a Zoning change from Planned District to Residential A. Mr. Whittlesey told him that the petition had been received and would be considered along with the recommendation from the Planning Commission at the time of the second hearing. Mr. D'Acuti moved that the first reading be accepted as read, and the proposed ordinance be submitted to the Planning Commission for their recommendation. The motion was seconded and the Board of Selectmen unanimously agreed to accept the first reading. AWARDING OF CONTRACTS Mr. D'Acuti, Chairman, took the chair for the awarding of the sewer construction contracts. Contract 2A of Phase 11 of the New Sewage Works, South Burlington, Vermont was awarded to the Pizzagalli Construction Company whose low bid was in the amount of $150,043.00. Contract 2B of Phase 11 of the New Sewage Works, South Burlington, Vermont was awarded to Ralph B. Goodrich, Inc., whose low bid was in the amount of $465,053.90. The contracts were signed by Vincent J. D'Acuti as authorized agent of the town, by Mr. Goodrich and Mr. Pizzagalli, contractors, by John T. Ewing, Town Attorney, and notarized and sealed by Mrs. Paquin, Town Clerk. MEMORANDUM TO MR. LECLAIR The Selectmen went over several matters on a memorandum from Mr. Douglas to Mr. LeClair. Referring to item 4 "correct zoning ordinances, Planned Area and Residential A for churches" the Board decided to activate the Town Government Committee to investigate and recommend any future changes in the area of ordinances. Concerning item 7, dealing with a future fire station, this is more or less a waiting matter to see what the Insurance Rating Board will forward after their survey. A general discussion was held on the balance of the items on the memorandum. There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 9:30 P.M.
