added to this section to provide input from both sides to represent things more fairly? Please <br /> add: No sewers, no restrooms, no sidewalks, no street lighting, and respect private property <br /> owners' property rights, to the feedback section. My personal feedback to be added, also: <br /> Infrastructure changes need to remain in line with the towns' rural character and the <br /> community's rural way of life. <br /> In closing, I do not mind having a subarea plan, if it is truly community led. But, if it can be <br /> used as a blueprint by the few on ways to get grants for things that affect the many, possibly <br /> against the will of the larger community, that is where my support abruptly ends. <br /> I do not know how, but there should be some sort of checks and balances added to prevent <br /> very small subsets of the community from having such massive impact on plans such as <br /> these in the future. A large portion of the community was unaware of what was being put <br /> into this plan (and I am certain many others are still unaware). It was said by the planners <br /> there weren't more than 10 people at any of the planning meetings over the last two years, <br /> until recently. This is a massive document that will last a decade -yet it was designed with only <br /> 10 community members' input up until the final weeks. I do understand that there was some <br /> outreach to encourage others to participate, and I place no blame for this, but it simply wasn't <br /> enough. It is vital that a certain percentage of community support be met before proposals <br /> such as these move forward. Easton may be small, but there was nowhere near enough <br /> participation no matter how we look at it. <br /> If we can't get a high enough percentage of support for a document or idea, maybe it should <br /> not move forward. I hope that if passed,future amendments to the plan require some <br /> significant amount of community support to be considered for adoption. 100 People, even <br /> 50. More than just 10. <br /> P.S. I also never got a mailer that was said to have been sent out. I am a property owner and <br /> lifelong resident - but no mailer with any information on the subarea plan. <br /> Thank you again for your time and attention to this matter. Your willingness to hear all sides <br /> and present alternatives is greatly appreciated. <br /> Please add this to the public record. <br /> Franny Castrilli <br /> Lifetime Easton Resident <br />
