Trustee Paul Armstrong reported a Planning Board filing for five housing lots off Forest Street and proposed amending the town bylaw so developer contributions would apply to any housing development rather than only projects above five lots.

Trustee Paul Armstrong reported to the Kingston Affordable Housing Trust that a filing has been made with the Planning Board for a subdivision off Forest Street proposing five housing lots. He said he would like to see the town bylaw changed so that developer contributions to the town would be required for any housing development, not only for developments above five lots.

The minutes record the proposal as an item for future consideration; no formal motion, draft language, fiscal estimate, or vote on a bylaw change is recorded. The Trust did not set a deadline or assign specific staff to draft ordinance language during this meeting. The item remains at the discussion and direction stage pending follow-up.
