Conservation Commission · Meeting of February 17, 2026
Tisbury boards coordinated on floodplain protection standards, agreeing to implement updated minimum requirements now and defer higher standards to next year. The Conservation Commission, Planning Board, and Zoning Enforcement Officer determined in a joint meeting that the two proposed changes (removing references to old maps and shifting the floodplain director role to the Conservation Agent) will proceed after a March 6 Planning Board hearing, according to Planning Board Clerk Ben Robinson, while more comprehensive standards will be developed next year to allow community input. In separate business, the Conservation Commission determined that a bank path safety project at 48 Howard Street will require an Amended Order of Conditions, judging the applicant's proposed stone steps inadequate for the steep slope; the Commission scheduled a February 24 site visit to re-evaluate.
The Commission also continued hearings on a proposed boat shed at 52 Mill House Way and a salt marsh mowing enforcement order at 30 Ashtons Way.
