Minutes of the Regular Meeting of Council Monday, February 19, 2018 Page 4 . Planning and Zoning - We met last week and reviewed the Beecher's Brook stream bank stabilization project which we will be voting on on March Stn Council President Saponaro asked, can we do a clarification on that? They are only voting on the riparian setback? Mr. Marrelli replied, yes. The project requires them to work in riparian setback and that requires them to get permission from the Planning Commission. Mr. Williams asked for clarification on the process from one committee to another committee. Mr. Marrelli replied, our rules require that the Plamling Commission has to authorize anyone that works in a riparian setback. The Sewer District had to come in and get permission from the Planning Commission to work in the riparian setback for the stream bank restoration. Is that clear or no? Mr. Williams replied, it's clearer. Thank you. Mr. Marrelli stated, they are not allowed to work in the setback without permission. We had to give them permission to work on our property. Mr. Williams stated, thank you. Council President Saponaro stated, and I clarified that because we have on our agenda easements that are not the same as the riparian setback. I did not want there to be confusion between the two which we will have discussion on. That was part of the reason why I interjected and clarified that it was for the riparian setback rights which is what the Planning Commission is going to be voting on on March Stn Mary Betsa (Council) - On Friday, February 16th, the State Auditor held House Bill 9 Training on Open Records and Public Meetings in Reserve Hall.
