New Zoning Ordinance Proposed

Should the Town of Gilsum increase the minimum lot size in the Rural Residential District from two acres to five acres and the frontage from 175 feet to 300 feet?

"The Planning Board is proposing the change in response to comments and concerns expressed to board members.  A focus of concern - expressed over the past several years - has had to do with overdevelopment on town roads, many of which are stressed already. In addition to that, the Board recently adopted the Rural Character Conservation Plan (below), which identifies sensitive areas and makes a number of recommendations regarding their protection."

Read the proposed new ordinance - and don't forget to vote at Town Meeting March 9th!
