Planning board considers signage and revocation language for special‑use permits
Summary
The Planning Board discussed requiring signage for special‑use permit reviews but tabled the idea after the Tug Hill Commission cautioned it could invite court challenges; members proposed adding a Section 680 E to clarify how an SUP can be revoked.
The Town of Vienna Planning Board discussed administrative changes to special‑use permits at its Nov. 13 special meeting.
Members debated a proposed requirement that a sign be posted in front of any property undergoing an SUP review. The board noted the Tug Hill Commission cautioned against mandatory sign posting because it can add procedural steps and has the potential to generate court challenges. Given those concerns, the board tabled the signage question for further study.
Separately, members proposed adding a new Section 680 E to the Zoning Law to clarify procedures for revoking an SUP. No formal vote was taken; staff and board members will consider language and potential procedural implications in subsequent drafts.
