The chapters the town posts pre-date revisions it approved in June 2023, September 2023 and February 2024, which aren't posted as clean text. Check those changes with the town.
Tables (like use tables) may not copy cleanly, so check any table against the official code.

Conservation land shall be designed to provide buffers and to protect scenic views as seen from existing roadways and from public parks. Where the proposed development abuts a national forest or other public park, open space, wildlife sanctuary or preserve, a natural greenway buffer at least fifty (50) feet wide shall be provided within the development along its common boundary with said land, within which no new structures shall be constructed, nor shall any clearing of trees or understory growth be permitted (except as may be necessary for street or trail construction or fire safety). Where this buffer is unwooded, the Town may require vegetative screening to be planted at developer=s sole cost and expense and/or that the buffer be managed to encourage natural forest succession through >no-mow= policies and the periodic removal of invasive alien plant and tree species.
