Committee: wait on BDR until conservation restriction likely approved
Committee members discussed scheduling the BDR (biological/delineation report) and agreed it would be inefficient to complete the BDR before the conservation restriction is likely to be approved by the state. Veronica advised there is "no point in doing a BDR if you're not gonna have an approved CR," and noted BDRs are typically included as an exhibit in the CR and required before final signing.

Members said the BDR should be queued and ready once the back-and-forth with state reviewers makes approval likely; depending on timing it could be as soon as October, December, or next spring, contingent on town council review and state submission timing.
