MARC to begin Municipal Plan update July 1; commission plans charrette, surveys and Farmer’s Market outreach
Summary
Planning staff said MARC will begin Municipal Plan updates on July 1, 2026 with a target adoption by September 2027; the commission discussed a June 15 joint‑boards meeting, a charrette, surveys (QR codes, tax‑bill inserts), and using Farmers’ Market outreach to solicit public input.
Erin Ladd told the Planning Commission that MARC will begin Municipal Plan work on July 1, 2026 and that she and Chair Noah Schmidt will meet ahead of a joint‑boards meeting scheduled for June 15. Ladd said there is funding in the budget for MARC to assist and that the plan should be ready to adopt by September 2027; she also cautioned about a single staff member making changes without board review.
Commissioners discussed outreach strategies: holding a charrette with posterboards, distributing surveys via QR codes, tax‑bill inserts or postcards, and taking a booth at the Farmers’ Market. Ed D'Ottavio volunteered to share questions used in a Cavendish survey as a model. The group emphasized targeted stakeholder outreach for lakeside property owners and other affected groups.
