Planning & Zoning Commission

The Planning and Zoning (P&Z) Commission writes and enforces the town’s zoning and subdivision regulations, which enable the town to maintain its identity as a beautiful, historic, sparsely developed municipality.   The commission also considers and reviews any special permit requests that residents may apply for, and makes a final decision whether or not to approve such requests.
