The floodplain bylaw update is intended to incorporate four revised flood insurance maps and maintain residents’ eligibility for required flood insurance coverage. The backyard-chicken change is only a recommendation to the Town Council, not a final approval; it would allow chickens in residential areas under new rules. The Board also approved a five-lot plan, rescinded a previously unused subdivision approval and covenant, and postponed two Westwood Estates matters.
