Accepted Agricultural Practice RegulationsThe AAPs are the base level of management required for all farms in Vermont. They are designed to be easy to implement, low-cost solutions for addressing water resource concerns. In April 2006, a revised AAP Rule was adopted. For example, a 10-foot vegetated buffer is now required along surface water. There are also new provisions for mortality burial and composting and for the management of livestock on pastures where access is given to surface water. |

Zoning Administrators HandbookVermont Land Use education and Training Collaborative's handbook for Zoning Administrators is a valuable tool in understanding zoning issues. Zoning is the most common land use tool in Vermont. Based on a town plan, zoning encourages the appropriate development of land in ways that the voters and local officials have approved. It is done purely to protect the public health, safety and general welfare of the residents. In order to preserve the rights of the individual property owner, competent administration and even-handed enforcement of adopted zoning bylaws is essential. These objectives can be realized only if administrative officials have a clear understanding of the relevant legal requirements and limitations of the zoning process and a willingness to adapt the regulatory framework to fit local needs. |
