An amended flood plain bylaw easily passed at Town Meeting on Monday despite alleged inaccuracies regarding the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s flood maps.

The vote ends a three-year saga for the bylaw that started when key language was mistakenly deleted prior to a 2011 Town Meeting vote.

Residents whose homes are inside the FEMA boundaries must now purchase flood insurance.

Additional restrictions and fees apply as well.

Building home additions will be subject to federal guidelines, and it’s believed that selling homes in flood plains will be difficult due to the restrictions.

Voters at November’s Special Town Meeting had defeated a measure to reinsert language into the town’s flood plain district bylaw.

When Planning Board member Ben Bailey discovered that his home was within the new flood plain due to a surveying error he said FEMA should correct the maps. He expressed his dissatisfaction in board meetings leading up to Monday.

Had voters opposed the bylaw the federal funds would not be available in case of a natural disaster.

Bailey eventually supported the bylaw saying it would be unfair for residents to not have access to those funds if needed.

No one opposed the bylaw on Monday.
