Consultants from Util outline scope and legal role of Concord master plan
Summary
Util consultants introduced their team, past projects and the master plan's dual function as a community vision and a statutory land-use tool; they emphasized early public engagement and mapping of growth, preservation and mobility.
Consultants from Util presented an overview of their team and what Concord should expect from a comprehensive master plan, telling the planning board the firm brings multi-disciplinary experience from New Hampshire and Massachusetts. A presenter said the firm is comfortable "at 30,000 feet" and at fine-grained design, and listed subconsultants including Nelson Nygaard, Niche and DHB.
The presenters stressed the master plan's legal role: "It's a legal document, it's something that is, codified in state statute," a Util presenter said, and added the plan must include a vision section and a land-use section. The consultants said the plan will combine data analysis, observation and public engagement, and will be tailored to Concord's unique needs and level of specificity.
