The board also voted 4-0 to endorse the 180-page Open Space and Recreation Plan prepared by Beals and Thomas, with the addition of the word "healthy" to the letter of support regarding community quality of life.
Vice Chair Brewer raised concerns during discussion about protecting town-owned land, specifically suggesting rezoning Wheelwright Park to "Open Space" status to prevent future municipal developments such as cell towers.
