Administrative Officer’s Report to Selectboard February 26, 2018
Discussion Items:
1. NRPC has submitted the South Hero Hazard Mitigation plan to FEMA. I do not know when FEMA will review and/or approve the plan.
2. Martha would like to buy the old zoning office HP Officejet printer which was replaced last year with a larger Epson printer that can scan/print pages up to 11x17ins. Current price of a comparable printer at Staples is from $69.00 to $89.00. I have asked the Clerk and Listers if they need it. I understand the Highway Department is all set.
-Planning Commission: Final review of the draft Regulations continues. In addition, the Commission is reviewing draft language for a sign ordinance – sign regulations will be removed from the Development Regulations and replaced by a sign ordinance. I have another meeting with NRPC this Thursday, March 1st, to continue making final edits of the document. Hopefully, the PC can schedule public hearings in the Spring.
-Development Review Board: The sketch plan hearing scheduled for Feb. 28 has been cancelled. Recent decisions are posted on the Board outside the Zoning Office.
Respectfully submitted,
Martha Taylor-Varney, ZA and Asst. to the Selectboard
