Planning Board decides Planning and Appeals boards will keep separate public notice policies
Summary
After a brief discussion on Sept. 4 the Starks Planning Board determined combining public notice policies for the Planning Board and Appeals Board was impractical and agreed each board will maintain its own, likely identical, notice policy.
The Starks Planning Board briefly discussed whether to combine the Planning Board and Appeals Board public notice policies and concluded that a single combined document was not practical. The minutes state both boards will instead have separate policies that are likely to be identical.
The minutes do not detail the substantive differences that made a combined policy impractical, nor do they record a formal vote; the determination is recorded as the outcome of a brief discussion. The entry suggests the boards will coordinate language so the policies are consistent but remain separate documents.
The minutes also record routine procedural items for the meeting: adequate public notice was given, a quorum was present, and no conflicts of interest were reported. The meeting adjourned at 9:15 p.m.
Next steps: the separate public notice policies will be developed or finalized through the respective boards’ processes; the minutes do not specify timelines or adoption steps.
