Summary

The Select Board approved rezoning Lot 20-20-33 (Parsons Lane) from Village Residential to Village Business after a public hearing in which Dorset Field Club general manager Rob Beuth said rezoning would bring zoning consistency around the property.

The Dorset Select Board held a public hearing and approved an amendment to the Zoning Bylaw to rezone Lot 20-20-33 (Parsons Lane Dorset Village) from Village Residential to Village Business.

Rob Beuth, general manager of the Dorset Field Club, said the club owns surrounding parcels and that the rezoning "would make the zoning district consistent." After public hearing procedures the Board voted to approve the amendment; the motion passed with four yes votes and one abstention (Frank Parent).

Board members said the rezoning aligns the recently purchased property with adjacent club holdings and will simplify future use consistent with neighboring lots.

What it means: The rezoning changes the regulatory district for that parcel and removes a zoning inconsistency between the field club parcel and surrounding club-owned land. The vote was recorded as four in favor, zero opposed, with one abstention.
