NEW!
We are excited to announce all Planning Board Applications are ON-LINE!
*Note: Applications must be submitted no less than 3 weeks before a scheduled meeting date, with an Abutters list, so they may be legally noticed. All applications, except for Approvals Not Required, require an abutters list for 300 feet. Click here to apply for the abutters list. |
All scheduled Planning Board Public Hearings will be listed on the Planning Board’s meeting agenda for that date. Agendas are posted at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting date. Public Hearings may extend over several Planning Board meetings. Please note that Public Hearings may also be continued to a future date at the request of the applicant with little advance notification. In this event, all efforts will be made to update the posted agenda in advance of the scheduled hearing date. You are encouraged to check the Planning Board’s page on the town website for any revisions to the agenda, including a continuance of a Public Hearing to a future date. Planning Board meeting agendas can be found in the right-hand column.
The updated Master Plan was approved at the Fall Town Meeting! You are welcome to review the plan and let us know if you have any questions or would like to get involved with seeing the plan become reality.
