The Haverhill City Council endorsed two plans Tuesday to protect the city’s rural areas particularly those that could affect Haverhill’s water supply.
The first, introduced by Councilor John A. Michitson, called for a City Council Planning and Development Committee meeting to address the current zoning practices regarding residential growth in rural areas.
“I recommend that (Economic and Planning Director) Bill Pillsbury present the current zoning and protections to the Council and that the master plan consultant, Utile, present examples of what other communities are doing to manage residential growth in rural neighborhoods,” Michitson said.
