Commission schedules follow-up meeting to finalize sign bylaw draft and public notice
Summary
Facing a narrow window for petitions and public-warrant deadlines, the commission agreed to meet next Monday at 7:00 PM to finalize a typed draft of the sign bylaw and plan outreach and a public hearing; members discussed petition deadlines and select board processes.
Commission members debated whether to rush the draft onto the town warrant or to allow more time for public outreach and refinement. "We don't want that to happen without the townspeople," Committee member (S4) warned, urging careful public notice. Others noted the petition and warrant timeline and the difficulty of preparing a full, typed bylaw addendum in two weeks.
After discussing options (warrant article vs. regular public hearing), the commission agreed to hold an additional planning commission meeting next Monday at 7:00 PM to finalize the draft and coordinate public notice and any required select board steps. Members emphasized posting clear draft materials and wide outreach so residents could provide input before any final action.
