Board discusses woodlot rules and Don Blackton lot history amid partition concerns
Summary
Members reviewed ordinance language on woodlots and nonconforming lots, noted a definition window (1983–March 2018) for qualifying lots, and agreed to verify past minutes about Don Blackton's lot and whether subsequent amendments addressed prior subdivision actions.
Board members discussed the town ordinance language governing woodlots and nonconforming lots and recalled that new woodlots are not permitted while existing woodlots have a removal process. The definition cited in the meeting covered lots created between 1983 and March 2018 that can be used for sustainable forestry and agricultural practices.
Members referred to past minutes and to Don Blackton's lot as an example of where a prior action may have prompted revisions to the ordinance. A committee member suggested reviewing earlier minutes for the record and the board agreed to verify whether the regulations had been amended after the actions involving that property.
No changes to the ordinance were proposed at the meeting; the board flagged the item for further review and potential follow-up.
