The Rutland Town Planning Commission postponed consideration of a boundary‑line adjustment affecting parcels identified in the meeting record as belonging to Baird and Levin on McKinley after no one appeared to present the request. The commission took the action during its regular meeting on Aug. 21, 2025.

The motion to move the item to the next meeting was made after members confirmed no applicant or representative was present. Acting Chair Dana Peterson said the commission would “move that to the next meeting since nobody is here to discuss.” The commission subsequently agreed to reschedule the item for the next meeting.

Commissioners reviewed the proposal on the record and discussed its scale and prior related changes. Staff noted the adjustment would remove roughly 2.68 acres from Lot A and add that acreage to Lot B; one speaker described the transfer as “about 2 2.6 acres.” Members confirmed Lot B would increase from roughly 13 acres to about 16 acres and Lot A would shrink to roughly five acres. Commissioners also said both parcels currently appear to have no structures on them.

Members recalled that the commission previously approved a related boundary change earlier in the year and that an earlier “elbow” configuration had been corrected; record comments indicated that prior change was approved March 6. Commissioners asked staff to locate the prior minutes and maps so the file for this request can be reconciled with the earlier approval.

Commissioners flagged questions they said should be answered when the applicants attend: whether the change is intended to facilitate future development, how the acreage change interacts with floodplain or stream setbacks, and whether the adjustment should be treated as a minor subdivision under the town’s regulations. The commission’s discussion distinguished matters of fact and technical recordkeeping from land‑use decisions that would require later reviews: no rezoning or development approval was granted or discussed in the absence of the applicants.

Because no applicant appeared, the commission did not take a formal vote on the substance of the adjustment and instead postponed consideration and asked staff to invite the applicants to the commission’s next scheduled meeting on Sept. 11, 2025.
