At the February 22 Town Board meeting, the Town Board proposed a 180 day moratorium on actions requiring subdivision or site plan review, and on March 6th, the Board held a public information session and presented an overview of the moratorium.
The purpose of the moratorium is to review and if needed, propose revisions to the Town's Subdivision and Site Plan Review laws to help encourage energy efficiency, reduction in greenhouse gasses, water conservation, and development of on-site renewable energy.
The Town Board has scheduled a PUBLIC HEARING on the proposed moratorium for Wednesday May 10th at 7:00 pm at the Caroline Town Hall. This will take place prior to the regular scheduled Town Board Business Meeting.
Members of the public are invited to give comments or feedback about the moratorium to the Town Board. Comments are not to exceed 3 minutes in length, and will be recorded by the Town Clerk.
After the public comment period, the Town Board may discuss comments, raise other questions or concerns, and may voice their own opinions. The Town Board will make a determination if the moratorium is in need of revision or if it can proceed to a vote. If major revisions are needed, the law will be re-written as indicated and then presented to the public for review at a later date. If only minor or no changes are needed, the Board may amend the law at the meeting and may proceed to a vote at the public hearing, or may select another date to vote on the proposed law.

Printed copies of the proposed moratorium and related local laws are available in the bright green Town Notebooks located in Brookton's Market, Dandy Mini Mart, Speedsville Store and Caroline's Library (in the Town Hall office building) Copies are also available from the Town Clerk.
