Board of Adjustments Meeting · 2026-05-27 · agenda_item

This item concerns proposed regulations for residential development in areas with wetlands. The proposal focuses on allowing homes to be grouped together on higher, dry land within a parcel. It also addresses the potential need for elevated walkways and bridges, including their approaches, for access. For any land that has been filled according to permits from federal and state agencies, the proposal would allow for permitted uses on those upland areas. This is currently under review by the Board of Adjustments. The project could involve site preparation for clustered housing, construction of elevated walkways and bridges, and potentially filling and development of previously permitted upland areas. Contractors specializing in site preparation, grading, concrete work, and bridge construction may find opportunities. Suppliers of construction materials and engineering services related to wetland development and site planning could also be involved. Engaging early in the review process allows businesses to understand the project's scope before formal bidding begins.
