“My intent is not to pretend I am an ARB person,” Mrs. Van Dort said.

The planners also considered the revision of the Comprehensive Plan, but did not make much progress. They decided to seek the help of the Historical Society in writing a history of the town. Mrs. Young noted that the Town Council wanted the plan to continue to include language saying the town is one in which “children can ride bicycles.”

Member Susan Parrish wondered if it should also include skate boards, and member Arthur Neufeld added that roller blades might also be included.

Member Stuart Willis noted that the town has been losing such basic services as grocery stores and gasoline and service stations but gaining facilities for the arts.

Mrs. Parrish said she felt that was a part of “the gentrification process.”

Mrs. Young said that when she first came into the community the service stations were “going broke.”

The planners noted that data from the 1990 census they had planned to incorporate in the plan will not be available until early 1992. Mrs. Young suggested that it would be possible for the planners to gather their own census information if members were willing to do the work. No one volunteered.
