EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:

The study session provides an opportunity for the Planning Board and community to review the initial concepts and provide the applicant and staff with suggestions and direction for possible improvements to be incorporated into the future Development Plan and Design Review plans for Planning Board review. No action or decision on the plans by the Planning Board is needed or recommended at this time.
