Scotland planning commission to revise zoning rules and allow 25-foot setback for 389 Devotion Road
Summary
The Scotland Planning & Zoning Commission reviewed discrepancies in interior-lot setback language and said it will pursue coordinated regulation revisions for a possible town vote in September or October 2025; the commission also indicated 389 Devotion Road may proceed with a 25-foot setback.
The Town of Scotland Planning & Zoning Commission on June 23 discussed a discrepancy in the town's zoning regulations concerning interior lots and setbacks and said it will pursue coordinated edits ahead of a potential town vote in September or October 2025. I. Kisluk reported the discrepancy appears in the regulations on pages 32 and 36–37 and recommended using a shared work file to collect edits from commission members.
The commission also noted that, for now, the project at 389 Devotion Road will be allowed to move forward with a 25-foot setback. I. Kisluk described the decision as an interim allowance while the commission resolves the regulatory language. The commission set an internal goal of preparing proposed revisions and a review package for public consideration in the fall.
The discussion focused on clarifying conflicting setback language and ensuring members can propose changes collaboratively. The commission did not adopt final regulatory text at the meeting; members agreed to continue work using the shared document and to schedule the item for a future agenda leading toward a town vote. The commission did not record a formal roll-call vote on the 389 Devotion Road allowance during the meeting.
