Starksboro planners add footnote treating a duplex as one dwelling unit for density calculations
Summary
The Planning Commission voted to add a footnote to density tables stating that for density calculations one duplex will count as one dwelling unit, aligning town tables with state allowance for duplex placement.
The Starksboro Planning Commission on May 7 moved to clarify density tables by adding a footnote that counts one duplex as one dwelling unit for purposes of density calculations. The motion was made by Luke McCarthy and recorded as passing unanimously.
Commissioners discussed that state statute allows duplexes wherever single-family homes are allowed, and the footnote is intended to remove inconsistency in the bylaw density charts. The change is a clarifying editorial item to be incorporated into the use tables distributed to the Selectboard with the compiled bylaw draft.
