Summary

The commission added language to the draft regulations prohibiting permanent residency in travel trailers and discussed wastewater as the primary regulatory concern.

Zoning Administrator Dennis Marquise told the Planning Commission April 16 that wastewater management is the primary concern with travel trailers, and the Board added language to the draft regulations to prohibit permanent residency in a travel trailer.

The change is targeted at preventing long-term habitation of travel trailers within town zoning where wastewater handling may not meet standards. The commission did not record any variance or permitting path for permanent residency in the minutes; the prohibition appears in the draft language and will be part of future review.
