Planning staff outlines new subdivision flowchart tied to state code; large-scale application underway
Summary
Staff explained a newly adopted subdivision code and flowchart required to comply with state law; commissioners were told a large-scale subdivision application (the Hops property) is underway and will trigger additional state-mandated steps, including soil sampling and other tests.
Planning staff presented a newly adopted subdivision flowchart and said the town updated its subdivision code to comply with recent state law changes. The flowchart outlines additional requirements for large-scale subdivisions, including soil sampling and other technical submittals.
Staff said the town used grant funds and shared consultant services (with multiple municipalities) to draft the code and that Jones Engineering and the town attorney were involved in preparing the flowchart. Commissioners were told an application for a large‑scale subdivision on the Hops property is in process and will follow the new flowchart.
No formal action was taken beyond informational acceptance; commissioners asked for clarity on who drafted the code and how the state grant offset costs.
