Home produce and products: maybe reference the Homestead Law

connections. Maybe change add: all residential building being permanent?
45
Districts: Business- “The planning board has the responsibility to request an impact analysis from the
46
business.” Should this be moved to another section?

Business Occupancy Permit Application: correct the wording everywhere so that it is accurate to the
48
actual application.

CMRED: remove from lots district with the exception of Map R2 Lots 11 and 11-2

Special Event Facility Ordinance: ZBA met with Allrose Farm regarding an adjustment to the maximum
52
number of attendees from 125 to 150, which they approved. Take out the limit on attendees, event days
