Summary

On Dec. 18 the board voted 5–0 to file a written request with the Planning Board to review zoning around the Tannery property for a potential change to industrial zoning; no final zoning decision was made at the meeting.

Selectperson Adam Foster moved on Dec. 18 to file a written request with the Planning Board asking it to review the zoning around the Tannery property for a possible change to industrial zoning. The motion was seconded by Selectperson Sean Jones and recorded as passed 5–0.

The minutes note the motion grew out of a discussion regarding the Goodwin situation and the Tannery property; the Selectpersons did not make a zoning determination at this meeting but referred the matter to the Planning Board for review.

Why this matters: asking the Planning Board to review zoning opens a formal land-use review process that could change permitted uses at the Tannery site if the Planning Board and town follow through with amendments and public hearings. The minutes do not include any Planning Board schedule, public hearing dates, or specific recommended zoning language.
