Planning commission reinstates 2006 open‑space calculation for PUDs, drops 60% set‑aside rule
Summary
The commission voted unanimously to revert the PUD open‑space calculation to the 2006 approach—measuring set‑aside land as a calculation of building rights—after reviewing past regulations and finding it clearer than the 60% set‑aside rule.
The Starksboro Planning Commission voted May 21 to revert the planned unit development (PUD) open‑space requirement to the town’s 2006 approach, removing the standalone 60% set‑aside rule.
Commission discussion centered on clarity and administration of open‑space requirements. Members reviewed former zoning language from 2006 and determined that calculating set‑aside land as a function of building rights yields clearer results than an across‑the‑board 60% set‑aside. Luke McCarthy moved to revert to the 2006 regulations regarding set‑aside land in a PUD; Dan Kuzio seconded. The motion passed with "All in favor."
The action directs a draft revision to the working bylaws to replace the 60% metric with the 2006 calculation method; the commission assigned review follow‑up to Dan Nugent.
