Ken also gave an update of the Business Route, including two development projects that are going through a private development group. (AWT = Abby Thomas) Property across from Commerce Drive, part of the property is in the Town, rezoning and proposal for annexation, Alex to send annexation kit to Ken. R-1 buffer specifically requested next to Twin River Trail, in consideration of the current neighborhood and residents. Considering a new subdivision, lot sizes similar to Twin River subdivision. GPUD (general plan unit development), next stage - Council opinion to leave R1 or rezone if needed. Industrial Drive area / CR 10 also Abby Thomas’ property, M-1 zoning can be business retail. Need to place some development controls along SR 15 and how businesses present to the road since it is an entry point into the Town. DPUD follows (lot sizes), landscape amenities, Council can review all of the M-1 uses and say all but....... (ie: RV storage lots). This could potentially go to construction (first four lots) in 2024. Also consideration for Future Rd, it was suggested that the property owner at A-1 corner of Lot 8 (possible renter) should be included in future conversations.

TOWN MARSHAL Mike Albin - Flock Safety Marshal Albin introduced Andrew Blanchette, to speak to a new license plate recognition (LPR) reader system referred to as flock safety. This system is used for alerts such as: Amber alerts, Silver alerts, etc. stolen vehicles, criminal activity (bank robbery), many local towns/cities are using this system. Proposing a 5-camera system to create our 'net', would like to have nine cameras eventually. These are solar powered with a battery backup, covered by yearly subscriptions. Such subscription would also cover weather damage, such as hail. This is a two-year contract. Marshal would like to start with the five cameras to get comfortable with how it works and the ins and outs of the system, before adding the additional four cameras. Cost wise: The Flock Safety Platform for the first year is $15K. Standard Implementation fee for five cameras at $650/ea is $3,250. 1st year subtotal is $18,250. There is an annual recurring fee of $15K. So the first two-year contract total is $33,250.00. Marshal has budgeted for this system. MOTION TO ADJOURN made by Andrew Medford;seconded by Cathy Burke. All in favor. Meeting adjourned 8:33pm _________________________ ___________________________ Jeff Beachy, Council President Cathy Antonelli, Clerk-Treasurer
