Tamworth Planning Board finalizes outreach as regulatory compliance ordinance heads to ballot
Summary
The Tamworth Planning Board prepared public outreach and a March 18 work session as it finalized a regulatory compliance ordinance that will appear on the ballot; the board emphasized the measure is not intended to be applied retroactively.
The Tamworth Planning Board discussed final preparations for a regulatory compliance ordinance that will appear on the ballot, and agreed to step up public outreach before the vote. Chair Anna Paddock said the ordinance is intended to take effect at Town Meeting and not be applied retroactively.
Why it matters: The ordinance covers regulatory compliance procedures that the Selectboard and Planning Board have been coordinating; several members said some residents had not received mailed materials, prompting plans for broader outreach and an explanation of the fee structure the Selectboard discussed.
Board members noted that Emily has prepared an explanatory presentation and encouraged posting it to the town website; Anna Paddock said she would share the presentation broadly through the Exchange and explore additional public sessions so board members can answer questions. The board also flagged that the Selectboard reviewed a fee tied to the ordinance and that the fee will be discussed further in upcoming meetings.
Next steps: The board scheduled a March 18 work session to review outstanding procedural items and outreach plans. The board reiterated that, as discussed, the ordinance is planned to commence at the Town Meeting and will not be applied retroactively.
