Planning board flags map and appendix errors in comprehensive plan update
Summary
The Barre Planning Board reviewed an updated comprehensive plan draft and requested specific corrections — including renaming a listed church, adding missing water-district legends and broadband mapping, and providing Appendix B (survey results) before the board issues a recommendation to the town board.
The planning board reviewed an updated draft of the town's comprehensive plan and returned several targeted comments for correction before the board forwards the document to the town board.
Board members pointed out naming and mapping errors: one member noted "Westbury United Methodist Church" should be listed as "Westbury Church," and other participants asked for missing water districts and a legend to be added to several maps. Members also asked that broadband coverage locations be shown on the plan's maps and that electricity routing to Maple Street be clarified.
Several members debated whether to include public-survey results in the main plan text; one member said they did not want the public survey percentages included without viewing Appendix B. The Chair told staff that Barb should incorporate the planning board's corrections into a revised draft and resubmit it so the board can confirm changes before forwarding the plan to the town board. "We should see appendix b before we make our recommendation," the Chair said.
Next steps: staff will rewrite the corrections and resubmit the updated draft, including Appendix B, for the board's review prior to any recommendation to the town board.
