Planning Board sends Fairgrounds Road overlay amendment to public hearing
Summary
The Planning Board voted to send the Fairgrounds Road residential overlay district amendment to a public hearing at the December work session after reviewing lot-size and density changes intended to allow modestly higher single-family density where water/sewer are available.
Plymouth's Planning Board voted to move a proposed amendment to the Fairgrounds Road residential overlay district to public hearing after reviewing detailed before-and-after lot-size tables.
The amendment would reduce minimum lot sizes in portions of the overlay where water and sewer service exist, effectively allowing modestly higher single-family density along those corridors. Supporters said the change provides a useful tool for accommodating additional housing without broadly changing the underlying zoning; opponents did not press for immediate changes at the meeting.
Motion and vote: A member moved and another seconded to send the overlay amendment to public hearing at the board's December work session. The motion carried; the transcript does not record a detailed roll-call tally.
Next steps: The board scheduled the item for a first public hearing on December 4 (work session) and will review public comment and any technical revisions before putting the amendment to voters as required by local procedures.
Article notes: Vote outcome and scheduling reflect the board's recorded motion and stated dates in the meeting transcript; a precise vote tally was not provided.
