Chaplin PZC approves L&M Logging timber harvest on two Route 6 parcels
Summary
The Chaplin Planning and Zoning Commission approved an L&M Logging timber-harvest application for two vacant parcels on Route 6 after staff presented an alternate skid-trail plan and members discussed access and best-management practices. The motion passed at the Oct. 8 meeting.
The Chaplin Planning and Zoning Commission voted Oct. 8 to approve a timber-harvest application from L&M Logging for two vacant parcels on Route 6.
PZC staff presented the proposal and explained the company plans to use an alternate skid-trail layout. Members noted the commission had approved a timber harvest for the same parcels in 2006 that never commenced; the current application comes from a different logging company and proposes different access arrangements. Discussion among commissioners focused on site access and adherence to best-management practices for timber operations.
Vice Chairman Doug Dubitsky made the motion to approve the application; Alan Burdick seconded. The motion carried with the members present voting in favor.
The commission did not record further conditions in the minutes beyond the discussion of access and best-management practices. The approval allows the applicant to proceed under the commission’s timber-harvest authorization process; any additional permits or inspections required by state or town regulations were not specified in the minutes.
The commission’s next procedural steps were not listed in the minutes; the record indicates the item concluded with the affirmative vote.
