January 27, 2010 – The Minutes of the January 27, 2010 Minutes were reviewed and amended. They were put on file as it was a workshop and a quorum was not present at that Meeting.

C. OLD BUSINESS

Continued Work on Article 5 – State and Committee Revisions in the Shoreland Zone – At this time, the Committee continued reviewing the work on the amendments to the Shoreland Zone contained in the July 2, 2009 version of the Acton Zoning Ordinance while referring to the State of Maine’s Guidelines for Municipal Shoreland Zoning Ordinances.

The work this evening began on page 69 and ended at page 87 and will be continued at the Committee’s Meeting of February 18, 2010.
