CARLISLE — Planning Board's Municipal Vulnerability Preparedness Core Committee sunsets after approving final climate resilience recommendations. Julie Mercier, Town Planner, advanced draft language for the Historical Commission's Demolition Review Bylaw emphasizing deconstruction with a target of majority material reuse by weight, citing the Greenough Barn's 92.5 percent diversion rate. The committee unanimously recommended amendments to the Conservation Commission's Wetlands Bylaw adding flood risk and stormwater infrastructure language.
Mercier presented a culvert and catch basin infrastructure resilience framework based on the town's GIS-based inventory, recommending six actions from prioritizing high-risk repairs to pursuing grant funding. The committee voted unanimously to disband, with implementation continuing through Select Board presentations scheduled for March or April.
