BPC Sponsors Talk by Brewster's Town Planner

Jon Idman, the Town of Brewster’s Director of Community Planning and Land Use Management and Town Planner, conducted a presentation to a group of BPC members and friends at the Brewster Ladies Library on Wednesday, March 12. He provided a thorough overview of the role of the Brewster Planning Office within the framework of the town’s government. He stressed the fact that all planning for town projects is a “systematic, open, broad, collaborative, dynamic, and creative process that involves everyone in the community.”

Jon touched on his role on the Water Resources Task Force that takes an integrated approach to water quality planning of the marine, pond, and freshwater resources of Brewster. In this capacity, he has been involved in amendments to the Water Quality Protection District zoning bylaws that will be on the Spring Town Warrant for voting on May 5. The purpose of these amendments is to provide clarity and better understanding of the document.
