Planning board debates class‑3 landfill approvals and seeks clearer rules in land‑development code rewrite

Board members used the meeting’s board‑comments period to revisit recent approvals for class‑3 landfills and express concern that some orders did not restrict operations to vegetative waste only. Several members said the way approvals were written could allow future owners to seek broader solid‑waste operations. Staff said one of the two recent approvals included a condition limiting the use to vegetative waste while another did not, and that staff will confer on whether to file an appeal or seek clarifying conditions.
