Warren
"The Town of Warren has the Sugarbush Airport that is open for anyone to utilize. As such, we do not address airstrips in our zoning regulations as we feel the need is already met. If it is not in our Town regulations, then it is not permitted. In the case of the State allowing something that is not in a municipality’s regulations, it is my understanding that the municipality is allowed to be stricter than the State in not allowing it. The exception to that is those things such as alternative energy and communication towers which the State regards as in the “public good”. In my opinion, a private airstrip does not fall under something that would be considered “in the public good”.
