Discussion of procedures under new zoning law.

Currently the Town Attorney is in the process of reviewing the proposed new Zoning Law. It is anticipated that it will be adopted in the next couple of months. The new law will make the Planning Board the board doing the final approvals for site plans. A discussion was had among the Board as to how we will be handling the applications to make the review process more effective. New procedures being considered are: pre-planning meetings and documenting “Findings” to support conditions required for Planning Board approvals.

Adjournment.

There being no further business before the Board, the meeting was upon motion, adjourned at 7:26 p.m.
