Council refers Agricultural Conservancy Trust rule changes for planning-board input and feasibility review
Summary
The council voted to refer proposed amendments to the Agricultural Conservancy Trust's rules and regulations for further staff feasibility study and planning-board comments before a public hearing.
The Little Compton Town Council voted to refer proposed amendments to the standing rules and regulations of the Agricultural Conservancy Trust for additional review and public vetting.
Councilors and town staff said the Agricultural Trust provided a clear redline and a matrix of planning-board comments that helped clarify the changes under consideration. The council directed the town solicitor and staff to prepare a feasibility review of operational implications at town hall and to solicit the planning board’s input on items the planning board recommended that the trust did not adopt.
Council members said they wanted to ensure questions raised by the public and the planning board could be answered at a scheduled public hearing rather than holding a hearing while staff were still resolving outstanding operational issues.
The council approved the referral unanimously and asked for a memo summarizing planning-board comments and staff feasibility findings before setting a public hearing date.
