The new Zoning Law was presented for public review on the 27th as scheduled. The committee, chaired by Mary Lentzen, has done an excellent job on this arduous task. May I be one of the first to say a hearty Thank You for improving the future perspectives for Lindley!
This is perhaps the most important document governing the town. It sets the guidelines that establish our future living environment. The effort they applied trying to incorporate all pertinent views, provide balance between the individual and the community, and incorporate all laws and regulations needs to be appreciated. The highest compliment that can be given is to read it looking for the total view it provides. (The plot line is a little weak and has a tendency to cause sleep involuntarily at times.) There certainly will be a point or two that will not match everyones' liking but that is expected in our multi-faceted society. Look at the depth and balance to see how it works to maintain Lindley as we know it.
This is a major improvement over the old Zoning Law which was not tailored to the Town's residents and was less than clear on many issues. (If you really want to go to sleep read the old one)
These folks were not compensated for this work. They spent many, many hours to include frustration and arguements to provide a major input on the Town's future. Read or scan all of it to see this and thank them when you get the opportunity!
