Trust agrees to revisit inclusionary zoning draft, to review bylaws from Groton and Dunstable

Trustees agreed to reexamine an inclusionary zoning draft that had been prepared when Aaron was on staff about two years ago. Members said the planning board currently has an elective inclusionary policy (one unit per 10+ homes) but it has not been enacted; they tasked trustees to gather existing verbiage, Aaron's draft, and examples from nearby towns to refine language.

Veronica Kakel said it was time to bring the draft back for discussion and recommended asking planning to review the language or hold a joint meeting. Trustees assigned Karen and Lauren to collect Groton and Dunstable bylaws as reference materials and asked staff to pull Aaron's earlier draft so the Trust could prepare recommended wording for the planning board and potential public hearings.
