Barnard selectboard approves Twin Farms rezoning request

The Twin Farms rezoning request for commercial expansion has been approved by the Barnard Selectboard by a unanimous vote at their meeting on Feb. 18. 

Twin Farms, a luxury resort located on Stage Road in Barnard, had initially brought their rezoning proposal to Barnard’s planning commission. Twin Farms had submitted documentation requesting that one of the lots they recently purchased along Stage Road be rezoned for commercial use of one building. Steve Cota, planning commission chair, told the Standard last month that the proposed rezoning would create a “more contiguous commercial area for Twin Farms, and it would also clean up the boundaries for the town in respect to zoning.” At the time, selectboard member Richard Lancaster had added that the rezoning would “allow Twin Farms to expand if they needed to into that area and not have to piecemeal their requests.”

The selectboard’s vote to accept the rezoning proposal will become final on Mar. 11, unless a petition is filed with the town clerk by Mar. 10.
