Planning board schedules site visits, flags training requirement for members
Summary
The board scheduled site visits for two pending applications (85 Woodrove Lane and 23 North Upper Narrows), confirmed a March 11 work session and asked members to complete newly mandated planning‑board training; staff will circulate training links and track certificates.
The planning board scheduled two site visits for next Wednesday: the 85 Woodrove Lane property and 23 North Upper Narrows Road, with participants meeting at the municipal parking lot at 6:00 p.m. and the walk starting at about 6:15 p.m. The board said site visits help members gather consistent factual information but emphasized they are fact‑gathering sessions and not decision hearings.
Staff also reminded members that recent state rules require planning‑board training. The board will circulate links to available courses, including a $35 ‘Right to Know’ webinar and a planning‑board training offered by MMA; staff will pay registration fees and collect completion certificates for the town record.
Members noted other items that may be on upcoming agendas (a downtown hotel proposal and additional applications) and asked staff to circulate materials ahead of meetings to ensure the council and public can attend and review.
