------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Background: The Jamestown Conservation
Commission under the leadership of Chris Powell is urging the Town
to move away from Cluster Development regulations for new
development and adopt Conservation Development regulations. Their
efforts resulted in the hiring of former Town Planner and author of
Jamestown's first Comprehensive Plan, Tony Lachowicz to develop
the language changes necessary in the three documents mentioned
above. The RI Department of Environmental Management has embraced
the Conservation Development idea and offers these documents for
review.Click here for overviewpage.
