Some folks may know that this spring, the Selectboard approved some technical changes to the Flood Hazard Overlay District.
There are some much bigger changes for the FHOD proposed. We had a public outreach session a few weeks ago. Frankly, it was poorly attended, which we interpreted as tactic approval for the changes we are proposing. It is posted at the Town website if you haven’t seen them yet. There are some parts of the regulations we are looking for FEMA approval on before we take the next step of a formal hearing. We will post more on that when we know FEMA’s decision.
With this post, I wanted people to know about a very important meeting regarding the Gateway District. The Gateway District extends from the Interstate exchange, along the north side of Rte 2., down to the Old Mann & Machine shop. The Planning Commission is considering making some changes to this district. We hope to make these changes soon.
Exactly what those changes will be, are undetermined. We are looking to the community for guidance on what their continued vision is for this district.
Please come and here some ideas about zoning changes and more importantly, share your thoughts.
We hope to see (and hear) you there.
