Planning Board advances some zoning amendments, tables others.

Planning Board · Meeting of March 5, 2026

Chairman Carl Corrinne, citing the absence of a town planner and concern about overwhelming voters, moved to advance a subset of the 12-page amendment package. Vice Chair Eric Newman and Michael Temple opposed the narrowed scope, but the board voted 3-2 to proceed with minor amendments and the senior housing bylaw while tabling the two remaining proposals.
