Lakeville conservation commission sends stormwater bylaw memo to planning board, defers minutes and adjourns
Summary
The commission approved a draft stormwater management bylaw memo for transmittal to the planning board (date changed to Jan. 28), deferred approval of meeting minutes, and adjourned the Jan. 27 session.
Nancy Yates, chair of the Lakeville Conservation Commission, said commissioners approved a draft memo on a proposed stormwater management bylaw and will send it to the planning board for review.
Mark Minton, Lakeville’s conservation agent, worked with the chair on a draft memo that commissioners said had not yet been circulated widely. Members discussed clarification of definitions in the draft (including terms such as 'alter' and 'land disturbance') and whether the commission should hold a joint meeting with the planning board. The commission decided to transmit the memo and to await the planning board's response before scheduling a joint session.
Commissioner Mark Knox moved to approve the memo for transmittal with the date corrected to Jan. 28; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. Commissioners then voted to postpone approval of the meeting minutes until the next meeting because a key reviewer was absent. A motion to adjourn carried and the meeting ended.
The transmittal sends the commission’s suggested changes and questions about definitions to the planning board for further consideration; the planning board will determine whether to pursue a bylaw amendment, hold a joint meeting with the conservation commission, or take other action.
