Planning Commission begins review of bylaw changes to allow housing on Raptor Lane
Summary
Chair Gay Squire urged the Planning Commission to start work on zoning bylaw changes to permit housing on Raptor Lane after a Housing Committee and Town Manager RFP was sent to three interested parties.
The Town of Dorset Planning Commission on July 1, 2025 discussed starting changes to the town zoning bylaw to allow housing on Raptor Lane. Gay Squire, chair, said the commission should "start thinking about needed changes" after a Housing Committee and Town Manager request for proposals was recently sent to three interested parties.
Commissioners did not formulate specific amendments or vote on language at the meeting; instead, the discussion served as an initial direction to begin considering bylaw edits. The record shows the Housing Committee and Town Manager circulated an RFP to three interested parties, prompting the commission to anticipate zoning changes will be needed if any proposals move forward.
The item was noted under "Other business" and will return for more detailed drafting and review at a future meeting. No formal action was taken during the July 1 session.
