Francestown Planning Board votes to send updated flood hazard regulations to public hearing
Summary
The Planning Board revised proposed changes to flood hazard language to align with federal guidance and unanimously voted to send the revisions to a public hearing after follow-up with the Office of Planning and Development.
The Francestown Planning Board voted May 19 to send proposed updates to the town’s flood hazard language in the subdivision and site plan review regulations to a public hearing. The board said the changes reflect recent federal guidance and that the Office of Planning and Development had provided recommendations used as a starting point.
Sarah Pyle moved to take the proposed language to a public hearing, and Chair Gerri Bernstein seconded. The motion passed unanimously. Board members said they adjusted the draft language to better fit Francestown’s needs and will follow up with the Office of Planning and Development for clarification and to explain the board’s revisions.
The next procedural step is the public hearing; the board did not set a hearing date in the minutes. The board’s action keeps the regulatory revision on track for public review and further comment.
