Fayston Conservation Commission backs broader trail standards in land‑use update
Summary
The commission reported support for Planning Commission land-use regulation updates that would broaden trail standards to adopt Vermont state guidance, and plans to draft a follow-up letter addressing public concerns about use of the term 'shall.'
Members discussed a Planning Commission update to land-use regulations that would expand trail standards beyond language that historically referenced mountain-bike trails. The proposed update would adopt Vermont state guidance and regulations to apply more comprehensive standards for trail building.
The minutes note some public concern about use of mandatory language ('shall') in the proposed regulations; the Fayston Conservation Commission submitted a letter of support and will draft a follow-up letter to address those public concerns. The minutes do not record specific opposing commenters or a formal vote on the Planning Commission changes.
