Earth Removal Bylaw Committee · Meeting of June 25, 2026
Plymouth's Earth Removal Bylaw Committee finished its line-by-line review of a working draft, cutting the outline from 468 lines to 364, and appointed a subcommittee to reconcile the revised text with existing zoning rules. Eight members attended the June 25 meeting; the subcommittee comprises Love Albrecht-Howard, Ed Conroy, and Richard Serkey. The committee prioritized removing discretion from the Building Commissioner on Special Permit decisions to streamline permitting.
The work comes after a contentious June 24 Selectboard meeting in Cedarville, where citizens voiced opposition to sand mining projects at 71 Hedges Pond Road and the Sheridan development, citing destruction of natural resources and nuisance conditions.
