Commission discusses regional planning meeting takeaways and resources on tower policy
Summary
Members reported a contentious regional meeting where towns discussed review timing and survey extensions; commissioners also said they would share materials from Annette Smith’s group (Vermont for a clean environment) about towers and past cases to help prepare.
Commissioners summarized a recent regional planning meeting in which one representative requested extra time to review lengthy application materials; discussion touched on the time required to read materials and complete surveys. Members said the regional commission had useful material on legislation and examples of how other towns handled tower proposals and agreed to share a printed mid-year report and other resources.
One commissioner offered to scan and circulate a packet of materials and suggested the commission might consult those materials and similar examples when framing questions for an applicant or preparing town-plan language. Members noted the need to verify whether the printed materials have been updated since their 2022 report.
