Current
Regulatory Audit - The Planning Board has
worked with the Upper Valley Lake Sunapee Regional Planning
Commission to conduct a comprehensive regulatory audit. The
purpose of conducting this regulatory audit is to ensure that
the Master Plan, the document that is meant to guide future
land use, is actually being implemented through the existing
land use regulations. UVLSPRC reviewed all of the town's documents
and assessed how the policies work together as a system and
found inconsistencies and gaps. They have created a list of
recommendations for the Planning Board giving us guidance
on what needs improvement. To see the draft document click

This is a very comprehensive document that gives us recommendations
for bringing our ordinances and regulations into line with
the Master plan. We will begin working on this in the fall,
in the hopes that we can bring the issues before the town
at the 2009 Town Meeting.
Ballot issues at Town Meeting 2008 - At Town
Meeting on March 11th, the townspeople voted to pass the Floodplain
Management Ordinance and all of Land Use Ordinance additions
