Commissioner circulates draft swimming‑pool safety language; will present to Select Board and Trustees

Ludlow Planning Commission · August 18, 2026

Summary

Matthew Bellantoni circulated proposed swimming‑pool language focused on safety and retaining barriers; commissioners discussed next steps and agreed the draft should be shared with the Select Board and Trustees for further action.

Matthew Bellantoni said he circulated his draft language on swimming pools to board members and to Martha Harrison at MARC and said the primary objective is safety. "The whole idea is safety," Bellantoni said, noting he had reviewed approaches used by other towns and still favors requiring barriers around pools.

Chair Noah Schmidt recalled that the commission discussed the topic in depth previously and reminded members the proposal will need review by the Select Board and Trustees. Commissioners requested time to review Bellantoni's draft before that intergovernmental presentation.
