Conservation Restriction Committee · Meeting of October 19, 2026
Townsend's Conservation Restriction Committee targeted a Nov. 12 public presentation on the Squanacook Meadows conservation restriction. Members learned the state's Oct. 1 deadline does not apply to the filing submitted Sept. 30, and the state asked for a cleaner copy. The state gave no review timeline.
A member said the baseline report must be in place at signing and is best done before snow. The committee settled on 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the library, pending a room reservation, and a PowerPoint rather than a handout. TASA's quilt raffle sells tickets at $5 each or five for $20, with a Dec. 6 drawing.
Members approved minutes 4-0, set the next meeting for Nov. 9, and adjourned at 7:15 p.m.
