PLYMOUTH — Earth Removal Bylaw Committee advances comprehensive bylaw redesign, approves prior minutes. The committee discussed creating an entirely new bylaw rather than amending existing regulations, following models adopted by municipalities like Mashpee, which establish a dedicated Earth Removal Committee as the authorizing body. Members raised concerns about enforcement gaps, citing significant contour changes at 71 Hedges Pond Road that violated existing restrictions.
The committee received bylaw change suggestions from Planning Board member Steve Bolotin and Planning and Development staff regarding consultant services and economic impacts.
