Planning Commission approves Tunbridge Agricultural Society bathroom relocation with floodplain conditions
Summary
The Commission approved plans to move and rebuild bathrooms near Floral Hall for the Tunbridge Agricultural Society, shifting the structure 4 feet away from the river and requiring specified flood vents and a post‑construction inspection certification.
The Tunbridge Planning Commission approved an application from the Tunbridge Agricultural Society to move and reconstruct bathroom facilities near Floral Hall, provided the project satisfies floodplain requirements. The minutes record the structure will be shifted 4 feet to the left (away from the river); the project does not increase the building footprint and is not in the mapped floodway but remains inside the floodplain and therefore must include flood vents sized to allow water passage. Alexis Nevins, identified as the Central Vermont Floodplain Manager, conducted a site visit.
A motion to approve the plans, contingent on an inspection certification after construction to verify compliance, was made by AF and seconded by Shane; the motion passed (tally not specified in the minutes). The approval is conditioned on the inspection certification; the minutes do not record a roll‑call or detailed vote counts.
