Residents press board for shoreland studies on community center ramp; selectboard promises to check permitting
Summary
A resident asked whether the town conducted shoreland/environmental studies for the community center ramp and parking work within the 75-foot shoreland zone; board members said they would check permitting and post plans online.
During public comment a resident asked whether the town had conducted shoreland or EPA-related hydrology studies for the community center ramp and adjacent parking work, saying the project sits within the shoreland protection zone and urging the board to post any studies and calculations. The board said the project had gone through the CEO (code enforcement officer) and that the RFP and project drawings are posted on the town website under closed RFPs for the community center ramp.
A board member said federal environmental review generally applies only to federally funded or permitted projects and that a small ramp would likely qualify for a categorical exclusion, but the board agreed to check and post supporting paperwork. The resident pressed for visible documentation; the board committed to looking into the permitting trail and to share findings on the website.
