DRB continues hearing on Silas Clark waiver request to Aug. 11
Summary
The Bristol Development Review Board continued a waiver hearing for Permit #26-602 after staff said the Agency of Agriculture is reviewing whether the structure qualifies as a farm building; the continuation was scheduled for Aug. 11, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.
The Town of Bristol Development Review Board on July 28, 2026 continued the hearing on Permit #26-602, a request from Silas Clark of North Street for waivers to Village Residential accessory-structure dimensional standards under the Bristol Unified Development Regulations Article III, SECTION 380. Kevin Brown, who called the meeting to order, moved forward with the procedural step to set the next hearing date after staff described an outstanding jurisdictional review.
AZ Larsen, Planning and Zoning Administrator, told the board that the Vermont Agency of Agriculture is reviewing the status of Mr. Clark’s business and will determine whether the structure is a farm structure. "If it is determined to be a farm structure, the Agency will have purview over dimensional waivers; if not, the DRB will review the application," Larsen said. Because that review is pending, the board voted to continue the hearing to August 11, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. The motion to continue passed unanimously and the board recorded the continuation rather than making a substantive decision on the application at this meeting.
Next steps: the continuation is set for Aug. 11, 2026 at 7:00 p.m., when the DRB will consider the application if the Agency of Agriculture does not assume jurisdiction. No additional materials or votes on the merits were taken at the July 28 meeting.
