The court order required the Planning Board to adjust its original decision regarding the access modification on Telegraph Hill Road. The Board was instructed to reduce the height of tree and brush clearance, a decision that the Fire Department supports as it meets the minimum standard. This modification was the sole issue brought to court, and the Board promptly complied with the order, voting unanimously to make the necessary changes.

Another topic was the future of the short-term rental bylaw, which was indefinitely postponed during the town meeting. The Planning Department is preparing to reconvene the working group to address public concerns and potentially reintroduce the bylaw in April. The team is set to resume efforts after the holidays, with a possibility of scheduling a preliminary meeting in December.

Additionally, the Board discussed the recent town meeting outcomes, where the Mr. Cod bylaw and other related amendments were approved as recommended in the warrant. These amendments are now awaiting review by the Attorney General’s office, with feedback expected by late February. Concerns were expressed over last-minute amendments proposed during the town meeting.
