Town planner advancing contract with MAPC for Dover tree-preservation bylaw
Summary
The committee heard that the Town Planner is working with the Town Administrator to finalize a contract with MAPC to develop a Tree Preservation Bylaw; approvals and signatures remain outstanding.
Committee members received an update on the Tree Preservation Bylaw development: the Town Planner is coordinating with the Town Administrator to finalize a contract with MAPC to begin work on a bylaw.
The minutes state, "The Town Planner is working with the Town Administrator to have the contract with MAPC obtain final approvals and signatures." The record does not provide a timeline for when MAPC will begin drafting language, nor does it record any vote to authorize spending; the update is a status report rather than a final decision.
Committee members listed the bylaw development among their 2025–2026 priorities but did not set additional deadlines during the March 18 meeting. The committee will likely revisit the contract status and next steps in future meetings.
