Colebrook Planning Board Report
December 31, 2010
As indicated by the statistics below, fewer applications than usual came before the Board. This allowed time to complete and approve the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). As explained last year, the CIP allocates a stated amount for major infrastructure replacement yearly in the hopes there will be enough funding available when needed to cover the costs of replacement. In November, the Colebrook Planning Board presented a Department Project Request listing to the Selectboard, along with recommended priorities, in the hope of facilitating decision making. It is understood by the Colebrook Planning Board the Capital Improvement Program is purely advisory in nature. Ultimate funding decisions are subject to the budgeting process and Annual Town Meeting.
Once again, the Planning Board budget is down for the coming year, due to a belief there will be only a small number of subdivision applications and building applications in 2011.
The Planning Board will focus its attention this coming year on the much-needed Master Plan update. Our meeting date remains the first Tuesday of the month, beginning at 7 pm, in the Colebrook District
Courtroom. Everyone is invited and encouraged to attend.
