Committee to work on Seasonal Communities Act compliance and forms tiny‑homes subcommittee

Chair Kate Kane read the selectboard direction that the planning board and zoning bylaws study committee determine the bylaws needed to meet the requirements of the Seasonal Communities Act and report back to the selectboard by Nov. 17, 2026.

"Chris Lambton moved to direct the planning board and zoning bylaws study committee to determine bylaws that will be needed in order to meet the requirements of the seasonal communities act and to report back to select board by 11/17/2026," Kane said as she read the selectboard minutes. Committee members discussed folding the work into the town’s housing production plan and recruiting volunteers to form a subcommittee focused on tiny homes and attainable‑lot language.

Members agreed to coordinate with the town’s housing‑production consultant, to circulate draft language via Slack, and to convene a small working group that could prepare a short memo describing what the town lacks to comply with the act.
