<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:.5in">As a veteran of the Zoning Reform movement – at least two decades old – I believe that most observers agree that broad change to MGLc 40A is very unlikely in the foreseeable future. ANR has been a foundational
matter for homebuilders and other developers, so use of your zoning bylaw to regulate larger ANR subdivisions is unlikely.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> However, you might consider seeking Town General By-law requiring review by the Bd of Selectmen and Bd of health before any building permit is issued involving land which has been subdivided via DNR in the past five (three,
or ten?) years, and requiring a note to that effect on any ANR plan for an aggregate of more than five (three, or ten?) lots – note that it must include serial ANR plans to come under the numerical threshold. The public interest in reviewing curb cuts, groundwater
quality and public water supply would, I suggest, make such a bylaw defensible.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The legislation that you are referencing is from several years ago and is no longer in play. There are currently no bills this session that deal with ANR reform. As you can imagine, comprehensive zoning reform is difficult because it’s
complicated and generates immediate opposition given its size, scope, and subject matter. APA-MA and MAPD have filed legislation this session relative to zoning reform, two of which received hearings: codifying a framework for site plan review and lowering
the voting threshold for all zoning amendments (which is written as an opt-in for municipalities unlike Housing Choice). <u></u><u></u></p>
