The Planning and Conservation Commissions would like to invite you to attend a workshop related to the draft Natural Resources Overlay (NRO) proposed for the Land Use and Development Regulations.
The workshop will be held in the cafeteria of the Jericho Elementary School from 7:00 pm to 8:45 pm. Our hope is to take some time to explain the proposal and then take some time to talk about and interact with the draft. Below is a more detailed agenda:
1) Welcome
2) . Presentation: Jericho's Natural Resources Present and Future – 7:05–7:50 pm
a) Jens Hilke, from the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife, will briefly present the science behind the natural resources inventory, explain the work already done in mapping Jericho's natural resources and why it is important to Jericho and the state to protect the Town's natural resources.
b) . Members of the Planning and Conservation Commissions will review the details of the latest draft proposal for the protection of Jericho's natural resources in the Land Use Regulations.
3) . Breakout Group Discussions – 7:50-8:25
Attendees will break up into small groups to apply the draft Natural Resources Overlay to case studies to test the Overlay and to help refine the proposed standards.
4) Large Group Reporting - 8:25-8:40
The small groups will report back to the larger group about their findings, observations, recommendations and questions.
