LEPC12 Next meeting – December 19, 2019 at TBD
This double-header training will first review (5:30-6:30) how local land use bodies (DRBs, Planning Commissions, ZBAs) should be making decisions, and then will follow up (6:45-7:45) with a review of the powers of subdivision bylaws and the useful concepts of density and conservation subdivisions.
For many rural areas with little development, the subdividing of land is much more of a land use issue than types of uses. Creation of roads, house placement, strange lot lines and shapes, and protection of natural areas can all better be addressed in subdivision bylaws than usually under zoning.
Light refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP here by 10/11
Our region is participating in a housing study called Keys to the Valley. The Two Rivers-Ottauquechee Regional Commission, Upper Valley Lake Sunapee Regional Planning Commission, and Southern Windsor County Regional Planning Commission are partnering to better understand the housing challenges facing our communities and to develop strategies for tackling those challenges. Please join us to learn more about the project and share your experiences with housing issues in the region.
Following this talk, Deanna Jones will present on the Homeshare Project. The Thompson Center is training to be a Homeshare satellite office. Homesharing can be a rewarding way to find housing and connect people who are living alone and willing to share a home as long as they meet the basic requirements. Come to this talk to learn more on the benefits of homesharing.
