Committee to rework summit camping rules; draft due at next meeting
Summary
Members agreed to reinsert overnight camping by permit into regulations and to rework summit-area rules—debating camping near the fire pit versus a 200-foot distance and considering designated sites with individual fire pits; Tom Kidder will draft updated ordinance language for the next meeting.
The committee agreed to return overnight camping-by-permit provisions to the regulations and to rework summit-area camping rules. Participants debated whether to allow camping near the summit fire pit or to require a 200-foot buffer from trails and fire pits, and discussed the possibility of designated campsites with individual fire pits as a compromise.
Tom Kidder was tasked to prepare an updated ordinance draft for the committee’s next meeting. The transcript does not show a formal vote adopting any final distance or designation; the matter was left for further drafting and review.
