Planning Board

The Planning Board is a citizen board made up of five regular members and two alternate members appointed by the Select Board in order to implement the recommendations of the Comprehensive Plan by regulating development practices. With the assistance of the Town's Planner, the Planning Board reviews proposals for subdivisions, private ways, commercial site plans, and shoreland zoning permits. In addition, the Planning Board may make recommendations to the Select Board regarding potential changes (amendments) to the Consolidated Development Ordinance and the Shoreland Zoning Ordinance.

Current projects under review (where an application has been filed) are available to be viewed online by clicking this link.

If you intend to communicate with members regarding a current matter being considered by the Planning Board please be advised of this limitation: Ex parte communications are a particular concern because they involve an opportunity for one party to influence a decision maker outside the presence of other parties and off the record, violating due process requirements. Please route your comments or questions through the Town Planner.
