Town Plan Discussions and Development Applications

Hi everybody-

Matt Boulanger here. When I'm not providing staff support to the Planning Commission, I also staff the Historic and Architectural Advisory Committee (HAAC). The HAAC provides comment and guidance to the Zoning Administrator and the development review board (DRB) regarding development proposals in Williston Village and within the Design Review District, which is the Taft Corners area as well as commercial property fonting on Williston Road, Route 2A, Industrial Avenue, and Marshall Avenue.

The HAAC has also begun looking at the chapters of the current Town Plan (The 2011 version) to determine if they, as a group, would like to make any recommendations for changes. last night, we looked at the Land Use chapter of the plan. 

The HAAC also reviewed a pre-application proposal for a project called Cottonwood Crossing, on the former driving range Property next to Maple Tree Place. As currently proposed, this project would include 268 dwelling units and about 100,000 square feet of commercial space. This makes it the largest single project that has been proposed in Williston since Finney Crossing.  The entire application can be viewed at the planning and zoning offices, but here's an overview of the proposal:





















The pre-application hearing for this project will be held on October 13, 2015 in the town Hall Meeting Room at 7:30 PM.
