DISCUSSION ITEMS Potential Zoning Bylaw Amendments: •Floodplain Amy Maxner, Conservation Administrator: Presented proposed amendments to the Floodplain bylaw.National Flood Insurance Act(NFIP)was established in I968 to offer flood disaster relief in the form of insurance; federal govt. program administered by FEMA and available to residents of communities who voluntarily adopt and enforce floodplain management ordinances.NA participates in NFIP and has a Floodplain(overlay)District Bylaw, FEMA reviews community floodplain maps every 5 years; new Essex County maps are effective June 2024.New language is required to be included in local bylaws to maintain NFIP compliance. Draft amendments have been reviewed by our FEMA contact; minor edits noted our current bylaw has the incorrect effective date for the maps.Notable changes include designating a staff position as Floodplain Mgr., establishing a separate Floodplain Permit, identifying sources of information to be used as criteria for compliance; language and definitions to be revised. The proposed amendment has been shared with Town Counsel for her review. E. Goldberg: Inquired how smaller, i.e., small fence permits in the floodplain might be handled with homeowners. Cautioned that we don't want to add too many complexities for homeowners. J. Enright: Envisions this becoming part of the online permitting process, A, Maxner:Not all activities in the floodplain require attention from Conservation. There could be a gradation of permit types; FEMA does not regulate what that looks like. P. Boynton: Base Flood Elevation data is important to homeowners. What are we using for projects in areas lacking data?Does the cost fall on the homeowner to provide that and is it then the responsibility of prospective neighbors to recreate that information each time with an alternate engineer? A, Maxner: There are zones that don't have a base flood elevation assigned to them. This names sources of information the Building Commissioner can refer to in order to establish the ability to regulate the project or improvement(s)triggering review. In areas lacking adequate FEMA data,the private homeowner has engaged an engineer to do the evaluation and calculations to arrive at an elevation based on surrounding properties and other relative topography. J. Enrigllt: Alternatively, there's a process for homeowners trying to alleviate the flood insurance requirement. They Dire an engineer to acquire a Letter of Map Revision to demonstrate they are not in the floodplain. We would share this information with local abutters intending to also file. •Inclusionary Housing Re uirement J. Enriglit: Presented amendments to Part 13 Inclusionary Housing Requirement requested any feedback the Board may have. Advised the Board that a draft bylaw amendment to address Dover uses is being worked oil.

Goldberg: When Watershed Special Permit requests are received would it be possible to obtain current data focusing on the area(s)of concern? P.
