SUMMARY:Public Meetings on New Act 250 Tiers - Windsor - October 29
DESCRIPTION:Last year\, the legislature passed Act 181\, which creates new land designation “Tiers” intended to change the Act 250 permitting process. “Tier 1” areas where growth is planned for and encouraged will have reduced or eliminated Act 250 permitting\, whereas “Tier 3” areas with important natural resources will face automatic permitting in most cases. \nThe Land Use Review Board (LURB) is responsible for developing the definitions for these Tiers\, and has just released a proposed plan for Tier 3 lands as part of their Tier 3 Rulemaking process. Their website also includes a Map Viewer that shows the proposed Tier 3 zones\, many of which lie in or near existing trail systems. The LURB is holding a series of public engagement meetings next week where Vermonters can ask questions and weigh in with their concerns. \nThe Vermont Trails and Greenways Council is pushing for clarification as to whether and how trails will be considered as part of Tier 3 Act 250 designations. Presently\, trail projects in the Vermont Trails System can disturb up to 10 acres of earth before triggering a permit\, though it is unclear if this policy – often referred to as Rule 71 – will persist if a trail touches a Tier 3 zone. We encourage trail folks to attend one of the following meetings to learn more and\, as appropriate\, communicate the negative implications of such a regulatory change. Take a look at the Map Viewer to see if and how your trails might be impacted. \nUpcoming public meetings: \n\nOctober 21 – Morristown Tegu Building Meeting Room\, 43 Portland Street\nOctober 22 – Rutland Regional Planning Commission Office\, 16 Evelyn Street (2nd floor)\nOctober 28 – Newport City Gateway Center Meeting Room\, 84 Fyfe Drive\nOctober 29 – Windsor Selectboard Meeting Room\, 29 Union Street
