A board member made a motion the board send the draft language to the Selectmen with a recommendation that it be referred back to the Planning Board so the Planning Board can schedule a public hearing. The motion was seconded and the board voted in favor.
Planning staff and members said the draft language on updated floodplain maps appears near-final and that the Metropolitan Area Planning Council (MAPC) or its representative—referred to in discussion as “Bob”—is expected to attend the public hearing to explain the changes. Members said they reviewed a memo from MAPC that explained the draft language and that staff and the fire chief had discussed the changes.
The board did not adopt the floodplain amendment at the Feb. 4 meeting; rather, it authorized the referral process so the Planning Board can hold a public hearing and collect public comment.
