Summary

Chair Bob Nelson suggested that the town should require a special permit only for EV charger installations of four or more chargers; installations under four would not trigger the same permitting threshold, the board discussed.

Bob Nelson, chair of the Planning Board, proposed that the town regulate electric-vehicle (EV) charger installations by requiring a special permit only when an installation includes four or more chargers; installations of fewer than four would not require the same special-permit threshold.

The board discussed the concept as part of its priorities list; no changes to town bylaws or formal motion on the threshold were recorded in the minutes, and the item remains a topic for future discussion as the board develops its regulatory approach.

The board also noted that open-space and recreation plan updates remain a parallel priority being led by Liz Bouyea and Sarah Reynolds.
