Council approves permission for a subdivision ordinance draft to meet state requirements
Summary
The council authorized drafting a town subdivision ordinance, using either a template from Mike Hansen or a town-specific start; members voiced support and a volunteer will work on the draft with staff.
Council discussed the need to approve a drafter for a town subdivision ordinance required by the state. Mike Hansen indicated he had a starting point and could proceed. Board members confirmed they had previously signed an authorization and agreed to give permission for the drafting process.
The discussion emphasized that the work would not cost the town directly at this stage; Mike had indicated he would fund setup if necessary and the town could use a starting template. "We've got our own," a volunteer said, offering to use a starting point and work on the ordinance.
Why it matters: a subdivision ordinance is a foundational planning tool required by the state; authorizing a drafter begins the formal process of complying with state requirements and updating local land-use regulation.
Next steps: staff and volunteers will proceed with drafting and bring the ordinance back for review and approval.
