Staff seeks Conservation Commission input on landscaping rule rewrite and native‑plant wording
Summary
Assistant Town Planner Brittany MacGilpin told the Commission she is rewriting broader landscaping regulations and requested recommendations on native-plant wording to incorporate into the draft.
Assistant Town Planner Brittany MacGilpin informed the Commission that she is drafting a broader rewrite of the town’s landscaping regulations and asked members to provide recommendations for language promoting native plants. The discussion is intended to inform the regulatory text and clarify expectations for plant selection in future site plans and PAD reviews.
MacGilpin asked Commissioners to consider specific wording that would encourage native species and better protect wetland buffers without unfairly restricting property owners. No formal motion was taken; staff will incorporate the Commission’s input into the draft and return with proposed regulatory language for further review.
