Planning Board

Planning Board Information

Planning Board meetings are typically scheduled for the second and fourth Thursdays of every month and commence at 7:30 pm. All meetings are open to the public and at certain points of each meeting, open for public comments or questions. When the Board convenes for work session or committee matters, public input (at the Chair's discretion) may be limited.  The fourth Thursday meetings are typically when Subdivision and Site Plan applications are formally heard, together with the Board's regular business.  Formal action on applications, master plan amendments and/or ordinance reviews, may be taken at any of the Board's properly advertised and noticed meetings. Site Plan and Subdivision applications and checklists are available for downloading here.
