Road Report: Damian Bollerman, interim Road Supervisor, reported that some weeds have been cut to give better visibility on some corners. Robert Ryan said he wanted to have 3 employees allowed for each business. Dave Erley said it was important to have a good definition for employee, especially the difference between full—time and part-time emps. Bruce asked to have it sent back to the PC to have employees included and to write a definition for “employee.” Joan asked the TC to recommend the number they wanted. Dennis Willigan said that if every lot were allowed 3 employees, the residential character of some neighborhoods would be destroyed Joan Sangree pointed out there are no limits on the number of businesses per lot and the cumulative impacts could be very large. Bruce observed that Bailey Lane could have a very large number of employees if each business were allowed three employees. John Groo, who operates Synergy Co. on Bailey Lane said that he already has 12 employees or 6 full-time positions. [Ed. Note: Bailey Lane mayjust need to be zoned commercial] Dave suggested that some of the businesses be required to upgrade the roads so there isn’t so much dust.

Valley View Points.”The web address is: www.gj.net/~talldave Dave welcomes e—mail comments.
