LSPA is hosting a site plan interpretation workshop on Saturday, April 5 for Zoning and Planning Board members from Towns across the Lake Sunapee Watershed.
They are invited to participate in presentations and discussions and to practice with specific examples and scenarios. Facilitators will include engineers from Right Angle Engineering, experienced past and current Zoning and Planning Board members, staff from watershed towns, and LSPA watershed staff.
The following topics will be covered:
- The impacts of decisions made by Planning and Zoning Boards on water quality – LSPA staff will give a brief overview
- Basic information that all Zoning and Planning Board members should be aware of – New members can hear what experienced members wished they had known when they first started
- How to interpret site plans and apply state and local regulations
- Similarities and differences among towns in zoning and planning approaches
Please share this information with any current or past Zoning & Planning Board members. We also welcome Conservation Commission members and anyone considering serving on a town board in the future. We look forward to productive discussions in a collaborative setting. |
