Interesting, not all that surprising. The local board is likely reacting to public complaints or potential complaints related to privacy, safety, etc. I have a couple of thoughts, for what it’s worth.
1. The board is required to hold a public hearing on the measure being considered. They are required to take into account public comments and input, which will be documented in the board minutes, before any decisions are made. If your really concerned and your neighbors feel likewise, attend the board meeting and voice your concerns.
2. If this is a municipal board, they have no right to impose restrictions on a property owners ability to operate a drone from their property, unless it can be proven to be a risk to public safety, runs afoul of zoning restrictions or is somehow labeled a public nuisance (i.e. it’s unreasonably noisy and a neighbor complains about it). Public safety would be a tough sell, unless the board can find local instances of drones hurting people or damaging property. I can’t imaging zoning restrictions would be an issue, and as your not operating commercially, not applicable in most cases anyway. So, all they really have would be defining the operation of a drone from your property as a public nuisance or disturbance of the peace. Again, a pretty tough sell and unlikely to hold up if challenged.
3. The board cannot restrict the use of the airspace over municipal property, but they can ban the take off and/or landing of a drone from the property they manage.
Just my 2 cents.
