Planning Board debates whether two‑extension limit in site plan review ordinance is too restrictive
Summary
Board members discussed that some projects have exhausted the current two‑extension limit and that the Appeals Board has sometimes granted additional time; the board questioned whether the two‑extension cap should be revisited. No vote was recorded.
Members of the Starks Planning Board questioned whether the Site Plan Review Ordinance's two‑extension limit is too restrictive after hearing that some projects have exhausted two extensions and later sought more time.
The minutes state the conversation arose from Appeals Board practice granting additional extensions for projects that had already used the two‑extension allowance, prompting the Planning Board to consider whether the cap should be revisited to accommodate project delays.
The discussion in the minutes notes the concern but does not record a motion or vote to change the ordinance; the board did not adopt an amendment at the July 3 meeting.
