Planning commission approves agenda and minutes, schedules follow‑up work ahead of May hearing

The commission opened the Feb. 25 meeting with routine procedural business: the agenda was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote, and the commission approved the Feb. 4 meeting minutes after a brief correction on the vice‑chair line. The commission declined to approve closed‑session minutes because only three voting members were present.

Before adjourning, commissioners instructed staff to prepare a GIS‑based recommended zoning map, to redline the land‑use table text and definitions (draft sections 02/9011 and 02/9043), and to prepare permit‑condition language for home day cares, home occupations, tasting rooms and certain temporary events. Staff said the commission should be ready to hold a public hearing in May, subject to any state action that might change the town’s residential zoning authority.

The meeting ended after a motion to adjourn passed by voice vote.
