Planning Board approves edits to stormwater management bylaw and refers legal edits to counsel
Summary
The board reviewed a revised stormwater bylaw packet, identified a duplicated paragraph and recommended removing two sections to the rules-and-regs; members voted to approve the draft with legal-counsel edits and deletions and to aim for placement on the spring town meeting warrant.
Members reviewed a revised stormwater management bylaw in the packet and identified a duplicated paragraph (section 4(c) appears twice) and items that town counsel recommended be moved into rules and regulations. Chair (unnamed) and Member (speaker 2) discussed timing and outreach; the chair noted that the bylaw will be circulated to conservation and the Board of Health for comment.
Member (speaker 2) moved that the board approve the draft with the recommendation that legal-counsel edits be incorporated and that the redundant paragraph (section 4(c)) be deleted; the motion was seconded and carried. The board indicated the change is intended to prepare a placeholder for spring town meeting rather than finalize the bylaw that evening.
The board did not adopt final language that night beyond approving the edits and referral to counsel, and the transcript records the board’s intent to solicit additional agency comments before presenting the bylaw at town meeting.
