Draft shoreland zone text amendments, maps set for Planning Board hearing July 21

The Planning Board will hold a public hearing on proposed amendments to the town’s shoreland zoning-overlay district. The district governs zoning standards for shoreland areas in town, and the amendments are meant to comply with state-mandated updates.

The hearing will be held at the board’s meeting on July 21, 2009 at 7 p.m. in the Town Hall chamber. A complete draft, along with proposed map amendments, is available on this Web site.

The board held a hearing on the proposed ordinance updates in April, but legal advertisements were not published in time to comply with state law.

Because the board needs to hold the hearing again, the town is taking the opportunity to provide larger excerpts of the proposed map changes, in more detail than the townwide map that was published before the April hearing.
