  • The Staff Review Committee does not conduct formal site walks or public hearings like the Planning Board does. Members of the public are welcome to attend Staff Review Committee meetings but must understand that these meetings are not public hearings and comments from the public are taken at the discretion of the committee.

    All decisions made by the Staff Review Committee must be unanimous; if a vote for an application is not unanimous the application must go to the Planning Board, where votes are not required to be unanimous.

  • If you have received an abutter notice this means a development is proposed on a lot that neighbors or is across the street from your own lot. It is recommended abutters or those concerned call or visit the Planning Office to review the application as soon as possible.

    Any comments, questions or concerns should be made in writing and submitted to the Planning Office so the Staff Review Committee can be made aware of possible issues that may exist.
