Review Planning Board Agenda: The Council expressed concern about several items. Regarding the Agel Cormen building, the Council wished to make the Planning Board aware of the City's desire to obtain O'dell Parkway and for the road to be placed on the official map. If item #6 was in the interim zoning area, Council wanted to remind the Planning Board of the Boyle study and the need for Council approval for all permits in the interim zoning area. (It was later found to be located north of Swift Street and just outside this area.) Regarding the Pizzagalli subdivision on Hinesburg Road the Council reaffirmed its concern to protect possible options for later development on an I-89 interchange. Councilman Cimonetti emphasized the need to reserve a right-of-way for a City street adjacent to the interchange to access Kimball Avenue without using Old Farm Road. 5. Executive Session At 9:45 Mike Flaherty moved and John Dinklage seconded to enter Executive Session for purposes of discussion of contract negotiations and Dorset Street litigation. After executive session, no action would be taken except adjournment. Motion passed unanimously. 6.
