Town of Bristol – Notice of Public Hearing
Zoning Regulations
The Bristol Planning Commission will hold a public hearing on December 17, 2013 at the Bristol Town offices in Holley Hall at 7:00 p.m. to consider the adoption of an amendment to Bristol’s Zoning Regulations to create a new Zoning District, proposed as the Bristol Pond Camp District. This hearing will be held pursuant to 24 V.S.A. §4441. This notice is issued pursuant to 24 V.S.A. §4444(b).

The purposes of the revision are to:
• Create a new zoning district acknowledging the pre-existing camps on Bristol Pond and allowing for very limited and appropriate improvements to those camps or lots.
• Protect the scenic, natural and historic qualities that make Bristol Pond unique.
• Make the definitions, consistent with State of Vermont Water Supply and Wastewater Rules and the Exemptions to those regulations outlined in 10 V.S.A. §1974.
• To update the approved zoning map of the Town of Bristol to include a new zoning district
The proposed regulations include the following new provisions which the Planning Commission feels are noteworthy:
• Adjust the land use density in the new proposed district along a small portion of Bristol Pond to match and allow for limited improvements to the seasonal and primitive camps that exist in the proposed district.
• Maintains natural resource protection areas along Bristol Pond by providing for a 100’ buffer zone between development and the Pond;
The above is a summary of the principal changes. The proposed regulations affect a small portion of the existing Conservation District on the shore of Bristol Pond that is proposed to be changed to the Bristol Pond Camp District. Copies of the proposed amendment may be obtained or viewed at the Bristol Town Offices, Holley Hall, South Street Bristol during regular business hours and on the town website (www.bristolvt.org).
