[Massplanners] [EXTERNAL] Floodplain bylaw implementation guidance

[Mariah Kurtz]

Erving seconds this. We have concerns about implementing this which we haven't felt have been adequately addressed for small rural towns who use cooperative inspection services.

If any small towns, particularly those in Franklin County, would like to have a call to discuss procedures and best practices around this, I'm happy to organize.

Whately is in the process of developing materials for implementation of
the Floodplain Bylaw and would appreciate any examples of application
forms, procedural guidance for applicants, and any enabling procedures
or regulations that your community has established - especially those
relating to separating out projects that pose minimal flood risk.

We would also appreciate hearing about any pitfalls of implementation
and practices that have proven helpful - especially from communities
like ours where the Building Inspector is not on the town staff and
can't serve as the Floodplain Administrator.

Judy Markland, Whately Planning Board
