Committee tables flexible-zoning subdivision amendment because of time constraints
Summary
Proposed Amendment No. 2 (flexible zoning/subdivision) was tabled so staff and board can rework it; the committee voted to table the item.
The Alton Town planning board committee voted to table proposed Amendment No. 2, a comprehensive flexible-zoning and subdivision article (Article 300, Section 3.66), citing the scope of the changes and a compressed schedule for the warrant process.
Members repeatedly described the amendment as “a lot to digest” and agreed time constraints made it impractical to finish the review at the current meeting. Chair Tom Diveny and members agreed to defer the item; a motion to table Article 300 (Section 3.66) was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Paul Manzioni and other members said the nonconforming ordinance and larger structural changes should take precedence. The transcript records the committee agreeing to table the flexible-zoning article and revisit it in coming meetings as staff refines the proposal and ensures it fits the timetable for planning board and town-council review.
Staff will return revised language and a recommended schedule for future meetings. The committee indicated at least one more meeting would be needed before drafting is final enough to go to town council and then planning board.
