The planning board will not be proposing changes or<br />
additions to the <strong>Newbury</strong> zoning ordinance for the March<br />
2010 ballot. Nevertheless, the planning board, through<br />
two sub-committees will continue to work on amendments<br />
to the sign ordinance and construct a new ordinance<br />
addressing work-force housing. These, and possibly<br />
others, will be ready for the March 2011 ballot.<br />
The 2010-2015 Capital Improvements Program has been<br />
updated by the CIP sub-committee and approved by the<br />
planning board. The CIP is to identify and prioritize the<br />
town of <strong>Newbury</strong>’s capital improvements needs and to<br />
recommend a schedule for the funding, purchase, or<br />
construction of those improvements. Special thanks to the<br />
CIP committee: Ivor Freeman (chair), Ken McWilliams<br />
(planning consultant), Dennis Pavlicek (town<br />
administrator), Jim Powell (selectman), Ron Williams<br />
(planning board), and Ray Spahl (at large member).<br />
I would like to thank the members of the planning board<br />
who have served and continue to serve on the board. I am<br />
privileged and honored to have the opportunity to work<br />
with this proactive and resourceful group of individuals.<br />
