From: Milton David Schroeder Jr Sent: Wednesday, August 5, 2026 12:12 PM To: Carmen Garcia Irizarry; Jessica Michaud Subject: Proposed Agenda Items for Next Ad Hoc Committee Meeting Dear Chairwoman Garcia-Irizarry, In preparation for next week's Ad Hoc Committee meeting, I would like to suggest the following agenda items for the Committee's consideration: * Review of the 2012 public hearing minutes and Town Council deliberations concerning the consolidation of the Planning and Zoning Commissions. * Discussion of Eric Treaster's letter, Ad Hoc Separation Comments (July 27, 2026). * Review of the Land Use Budgets 1998–2027 analysis. * Discussion of obtaining information from Connecticut municipalities that continue to maintain separate Planning and Zoning Commissions, including their reasons for retaining that structure. * Discussion of obtaining information from the Town's administrative staff regarding the workload and administrative implications of re-establishing separate commissions. * Discussion of obtaining information from the Land Use Department regarding Zoning Enforcement Officer (ZEO) certification requirements and any implications they may have for separating the commissions. I hope these topics will assist the Committee as it continues its evaluation of the potential advantages, challenges, and practical considerations associated with the Town's commission structure. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Dave Schroeder
