Selectboard flags TRORC Tier 1b maps over Act 250 concern
Summary
Fairlee officials said approving TRORC Tier 1b maps could allow up to 50 housing units in the Village without Act 250 review; the board expressed concerns and will review next steps with regional planners.
Peter Berger told the Selectboard that Two Rivers-Ottauquechee Regional Commission (TRORC) requested approval of Tier 1b maps. Berger said board members expressed concern because the Tier 1b classification could permit siting of about 50 housing units in the Village without triggering Act 250 hearings.
The minutes do not record a formal vote on the Tier maps. Board members asked for further review; no timetable or decision was recorded in these minutes. The entry signals the Selectboard will treat this as a regional planning and land-use issue requiring follow-up with TRORC and possibly additional public discussion.
