CCRPC PAC reviews FY23 UPWP; members discuss parcel-update practices and other business
Summary
Regina Mahony reviewed the draft FY23 UPWP, noting Bolton projects were excluded and South Burlington's technical-assistance request was reduced to about one-third due to staffing limits; the committee discussed parcel-update approaches and staff requested Act 250/Section 248 updates.
Regina Mahony, Planning Program Manager, reviewed the draft FY23 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) and explained that all land-use projects were included except for Bolton, and that South Burlington’s technical assistance request was reduced to about one-third of its original ask because CCRPC staff hours are limited. Mahony said transportation requests were accommodated within available funds.
During the members items open forum, Eric Vorwald asked how other towns handle parcel updates. Committee attendees relayed that Essex performs parcel updates in-house using a GIS staff person while Hinesburg contracts annually with NMERC and pays through the assessor’s office; Regina Mahony said CCRPC has not performed routine parcel updates in the past.
Joss Besse asked PAC members to email Regina Mahony and Taylor Newton with any updates on regional Act 250 and Section 248 projects so staff can track projects on the horizon.
Votes at a glance: The PAC approved the March 23, 2022 minutes. Darren Schibler moved to approve; Eric Vorwald seconded. The motion passed with one abstention from Ravi Venkataraman.
