Mount Moosilauke catches the last of the daylight as dusk falls on Lake Morey in Fairlee, Vt., on Tuesday, Jan. 11, 2022. The Town of Fairlee is considering how it can use zoning to protect the environment. The Selectboard and zoning administrator are working together to change zoning regulations to allow for smaller homes on smaller lots, more “cluster development,” and keep contiguous tracts of land open. The town is also considering more restrictive zoning on lakeshore property. If approved, the new regulations would require a permit to mow a lawn near lakes Morey and Fairlee. (Valley News - James M.
