1. The meeting was called to order by Chairman Guyse at 6:05 p.m.
    
2. There were no Public Comments.
    
3. Motion by Onofrio to approve the Minutes of the December 5, 2007 meeting as presented; second by Franek; carried by a voice vote of 5 ayes.
    
4. A suggested version of the Implementation Element was discussed and revised to fit the needs of the Kildare Plan.  The revised version will be included in the draft copy of the Comprehensive Plan.
    
5. A Documentation section will be part of the Plan.  Onofrio will print out and add the demographic and statistical data used in preparing the Plan.   Also included will be copies of the ordinances, resolutions, surveys and other documents pertaining to the Comprehensive Plan's preparation.
    
6. As discussed in the December meeting, the Plan requires projections of population and households for the next 20 years in 5 year increments.  These figures have been incorporated into the Issues and Opportunities and Future Land Use elements and will also be included as charts in the Documentation section.
    
7. Guyse submitted the completed Land Cover map and Franek discussed the problems he is having in creating a Future Land Use map. Without zoning, it is difficult to predict how owners will use their property.  Many small tracts have been sold as vacation/retirement property.  Franek will incorporate subdivided areas that are expected to be residential into the map for now.  This part of the Plan will need to be reviewed and updated on a regular basis.
    
8. The next meeting will be Wednesday, February 27, 2008 at 6:00 p.m. Onofrio will update the working draft with all changes to date and furnish a hard copy to members before the next meeting.  At the meeting, members will go through the plan element by element to be certain all requirements have been met before proceeding.
    
9. Motion by Franek to adjourn; second by Guyse; carried by a voice vote of 4 ayes. The meeting was adjourned at 7:35 p.m.

                                                                                     Respectfully submitted,

                                                                                     Beth Onofrio,
                                                                                    Acting Secretary
