  • Planning Board Procedure Discussion:
  • The Form C Procedure document was reviewed by Joan briefly and the Board decided to review the procedure at the next meeting.
  • It was noted that a Planning Board new member binder should be created to provide to all members of the Board and any new members.
  • Discussion also occurred regarding successive Form As and the procedure by which these are reviewed and endorsed. Joan took notes regarding what kinds of control the Board does not have over Form As that they do have over Form Cs. Rich noted that it would be interesting to know what lots are left in town that have sensitive areas within them and where successive Form As would possibly be detrimental to the landscape. John noted there was discussion in the past about a limit on the number of Form As in a certain time period.
