The hazard plan identifies risks such as dams, culverts, washouts, landslides, and other natural disasters, along with possible mitigation projects. The housing overlay proposal meets the stated capacity and acreage requirements, but the Planning Board did not issue a favorable recommendation because its vote was tied. The Select Board did not vote on the housing proposal at this meeting; the matter remains for Town Meeting consideration.
