The Town Board closed a reconvened public hearing and adopted amendments to Town Code Chapter 340 addressing wetlands and watercourse protection.
The board received a memo from Mary Desmond Abrams (Spencerman LLP) dated Sept. 1 and discussed distribution to the Conservation Board and staff. Several board members recommended retaining the definition of "critical environmental area" in the draft, and the lawyer's suggested edits were reported as incorporated into the version before the board. A motion to adopt the law with the necessary textual change (to restore the critical-environmental-area definition) passed by voice vote.
Board members thanked Conservation Board members and staff for their work on the recodified law; the town will publish the adopted local law and update its conservation submission checklist and master fee schedule according to the version the board approved.
