WARNING NOTICE OF THIRD PUBLIC HEARING
By Calais Planning Commission
To Adopt the Proposed Amendments to Calais Land Use & Development Regulations

Date: October 17, 2023
Time: 7 P.M.
Place: Calais Town Hall, Kent Hill Road, Calais, VT

The Calais Planning Commission hereby provides this notice of a public hearing to be held in accordance with 24 V.S.A.§§ 4384(d) and 4444 (Public Hearing Notice) for the purpose of hearing public comments concerning proposed amendments to Calais Land Use & Development Regulations as last amended in March 2017.

The Calais Planning Commission will present the proposed revisions and take questions and comments from the public.
The Calais Land Use & Development Regulations [LUDR] were adopted by Town Vote in March of 2005 with subsequent amendments in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014, and 2017.
The basis for these amendments started with the purpose of improving water quality and moved into the area of flood resiliency and includes addressing statutory changes and correcting and improving the language used in the regulations.

We are pleased to tell you that with this latest iteration of changes - and with voter adoption of these regulations, - the regulations will be compliant with the State Floodplain regulations for National Flood Insurance Program [NFIP] and will meet the State River Corridor standards for Emergency Relief and Assistance Fund [ERAF].

The full text of this warning with an index, the full text of the zoning regulations with amendments with simple markup tracking, and a draft of the report to DHCD and CVRPC can be found on the town website https://www.calaisvermont.gov/ under the Public Notice section or Planning Commission tab.
For further information feel free to contact Jan Ohlsson, PC Chair at jgohlsson@gmail.com

I would also encourage you to look at the excellent maps authored by John McCullough that are on the walls at the Town Hall where we meet. They show the proposed SHROD and depict how the Floodplain and River Corridor affect development in Calais.
