Summary

Resident David Lopez asked the board to schedule public hearings on the 2026 comprehensive plan later in the season so seasonal residents can participate; the town indicated a May hearing is likely with additional sessions to follow.

David Lopez, who identified himself during public comment, urged the board not to rush the comprehensive-plan public hearings. He said many residents need additional time to digest the 200-plus-page draft and urged the town to consider holding hearings after Memorial Day so seasonal property owners can attend.

The supervisor answered that the earliest the board could set a public hearing would likely be May 18, with subsequent hearings after Memorial Day as needed. The board said it will post documents and allow for multiple hearings and follow-up meetings to ensure broad input.
