The Planning Board is responsible for reviewing applications for certain shore land zoning permits, for reviewing and approving subdivision plans, and for periodically reviewing and updating our local ordinances.

In 2005 the Planning Board issued 6-shore land zoning permits - for one new residence, two foundations, one concrete slab, one deck and one for a frost wall. Although, there were several CEO permits issued that do not need Planning Board approval.

Over the years, the townspeople have adopted ordinances as a way to help govern the future growth of the Town in everyone's best interest. Our Ordinances are not meant to restrict landowners from using their property; rather they exist to assure that the use of that property will not adversely affect the Town as a whole or harm any current or future neighbors to that property. These Ordinances are reviewed regularly to see if changes are needed to keep them up with the current needs of the town.

The Planning Board meets on the fourth Thursday of each month. If you have any concerns, we urge you to come to any Planning Board meeting or to contact the Town Office to have those concerns addressed. The public is welcome and encouraged to attend and offer comment on any matter before the Board.

Respectfully submitted.

Al Tempesta, Jr.
Planning Board, Chairman
