Summary

Members discussed a draft application form for Floodplain Overlay District work and asked staff to verify that the form aligns with bylaws and departmental requirements before returning with edits.

The board briefly reviewed a proposed application form for projects subject to the town’s Floodplain Overlay District. Members said the draft appeared comprehensive but asked staff to confirm that each required field and checkbox matches the town bylaws and to coordinate edits with the building inspector and other departments.

Chair Andrew Shepherd said the board could approve a tentative draft but expected tweaks after the form had been used in practice and after department feedback. The board agreed to return the item to a future agenda for any needed revisions once staff consolidated comments.
