The group then discussed how the Town may go about updating and reviewing the Town's master plan and whether the master plan should be adopted or whether it should be merely accepted by the Town Board. 1 and Mr. Boraczek were asked their opinions on the Mr. Kalos n P matter of increasing the size of the Zoning and Planning Boards. It was Mr. Kalos' feeling that the Planning Board should be expanded to seven. His decision was based on the type of application that may come before the Planning Board, which would require additional expertise. He was concerned though , over the increase in the length of terms to seven years and the lack of rotation. With respect to the Zoning Board, Mr. Kalos- felt that increasing the membership to seven may be too cumbersome in view of the nature of many of the applications that come before that Board. Mr. Boraczek concurred with Mr. Kalos' feeling. The group then discussed the current special permit procedures and the delegation of the special permit approval to the Planning Board or Zoning Board. After further discussion, it was decided that no final decision would be made at this time on any of the land use items.
