Commission hears updates on Emrick Meadows, Pleasant View housing, and local logging

The commission reviewed several land-development updates. Members said the TRC raised numerous concerns about Emrick Meadows (road access, fire and public-works issues) and learned the applicants lacked required state permits for entrances onto the state road; members noted the town’s feedback will be considered by state agencies. For Pleasant View, commissioners noted prior zoning and housing-board appeal activity; one member said the housing board of appeals overruled a zoning denial and that construction by New England Flower Farms appears to be starting.

Members also observed logging activity along a Robinson Road parcel and recommended checking the select-board meeting recording for the landowner name and additional detail. No formal votes or town-level enforcement decisions on these development items were taken at the meeting; commissioners agreed to monitor permit outcomes and report back if the matters require commission input or action.
