During Monday’s Plymouth Common Council meeting, members reviewed the compliance forms for five companies, found them to be in substantial compliance, and approved each one for continuation of their current tax abatement.
The city council also approved a new definition for In-Home Child Day Care Services. New legislation was passed this year and goes into effect July 1st. City Attorney Jef Houin for the city to comply with state law the modification was needed.
House Enrolled Act 1102 revises the definition of childcare home to allow providers to serve more children, with restrictions on the number of infants, for more hours without requiring a license. It increases the number of children from 6 to 8, not including those who live in the home and are receiving care.
The Plymouth Plan Commission sent a favorable recommendation to the city council to approve the amendment and the council unanimously passed the change.
A second amendment to the city’s zoning ordinance also received a favorable recommendation from the Plan Commission. This week the city council approved a modification under the Historical Overlay District. Any changes in the historic overlay district required a review by the city’s Technical Review Committee (TRC) regardless of if there was a direct impact on city services. The change will allow the Plymouth Building Inspector to review the requested change in the historic district and confirm that it complies with the district. He can approve it without going before the TRC. The building inspector has the power to bring any concerns with requests to the Board of Zoning Appeals.
