The Rutland Regional Planning Commission voted March 15 to send two separate letters to local authorities: one saying a proposed industrial tower in Plymouth does not conform with local and regional plans, and another supporting proposed revisions to the Killington resort parking project as conforming and of no significant regional impact.

The first action responded to a 60-day advance notice for a proposed industrial communications tower in Plymouth. Commissioners authorized Executive Director Devin Neary to draft and submit a letter describing where the proposal does not conform with the regional plan and the town plan. The notice indicated the tower would be about 173 feet tall. The commission’s regional committee had raised questions and recommended the full board send the letter requesting more information and explaining nonconformance. The board approved the motion by voice vote with no recorded oppositions.

The second action concerned a long-standing land‑use project at Killington. Committee materials noted the original regional review dated to a 2013 land-use permit; the current submission reflected wetland boundary changes and a reorganization of parking. An engineer from VHB answered committee questions about the timeline and outstanding permitting. The regional committee recommended a finding of conformance with the regional plan and no significant regional impact; the full board moved to send a supporting letter and approved it by voice vote with no recorded oppositions.

Both letters are procedural responses at different stages of review: the Plymouth item is a 60‑day advance notice (not a final application), and the Killington item is a re‑submittal of a previously supported project now altered due to wetland mapping. Commissioners discussed needing additional information for the Plymouth proposal and confirmed that the Killington applicant had addressed components of an earlier incomplete letter and secured A and R wetland permits.

The commission recorded the two formal motions and votes in its meeting minutes; staff will transmit the letters and follow up with applicants and towns as appropriate.
