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 />

Thanks to the 2009-2010 board members: Barbara<br />

Freeman (vice-chair), Travis Dezotell, Deane Geddes,<br />

Bruce Healey, Bill Weiler, Jim Powell (ex-officio, board<br />

of selectmen), Alison Kinsman and Ron<br />

Williams (alternates). Thank you also to<br />

Ken McWilliams (planning consultant),<br />

Linda Plunkett (recording secretary), Meg<br />

Whittemore (recording secretary), and<br />
