The September 27 T.P.Z Members discussed the relevance of the Conservation Commission’s vote  regarding the application for the Cedar Mountain Development project.  The point was made that The application cannot be denied based solely on their decision. 

The statutes require that the TPZ give due consideration to the decision made by the conservation commission. The TPZ's decision must be based on their own regulations not the conservation commissions. The report of the wetlands commission is one of many factors in which the TPZ may base their decision. The TPZ has their own separate jurisdiction and the conservation commission has their own jurisdiction.

The general consensus was that the density of the housing proposed was excessive and should be reduced considerably.

 

  The TPZ meets again on October 12th and will continue deliberations regarding their vote to either approve or deny these petitions.
