The Planning Board is looking for public input to several possible Zoning changes and adjustments to the Andover and Cilleyville Village Districts.
- The Planning Board has been in general conversations about business and housing growth for the town. This is consistent with our desire to maintain the rural atmosphere while recognizing the need to provide opportunities for the town to grow.
- It is time to upgrade and clarify the Village districts which are different than other areas in town.
- Permitted uses and lot sizes are different in the Village districts.
- The Village districts are more conducive to small businesses.
- The Town’s Master Plan states: “What is a Village Area? It is a compact area of small retail shops and service vendors, residences, multi-family units, schools, places of public assembly such as town halls of churches, and similar activities.” And, a priority states: “the village character of the three village areas should be enhanced…”
- All of us have a vested interest in properly and thoughtfully moving the town forward. Public hearings will be held on December 11, 2018 and January 8, 2019. Open discussions and idea exchanges will begin at 8 PM.
The Planning Board will guide the meetings with maps.
The Planning Board welcomes your participation and attendance. We anticipate good ideas coming forward from residents, business owners, the Proctor community, town boards, committees and commissions. Thank you for your thoughts and ideas.
