Board discusses pursuing '10‑acre town' designation under Act 250 to ease small projects
Summary
The Londonderry board discussed whether to seek designation as a '10‑acre town' under Act 250 to simplify permitting for projects under 10 acres or 10 lots while retaining state review of critical areas like wetlands and stormwater.
Board members discussed whether Londonderry should seek designation as a '10‑acre town' under Vermont's Act 250. Members said that becoming a 10‑acre town could make it easier for smaller projects—those under 10 acres or under 10‑lot subdivisions—to obtain approvals while still preserving state oversight of wetlands, stormwater and erosion concerns.
The minutes record support for exploring the designation but do not show any formal vote or application to the state during the Aug. 19 meeting. Any change would require follow‑up action by the board and coordination with state Act 250 procedures.
