Planning Board to consider housekeeping zoning amendment to align appeal period with state law
Summary
The board scheduled a May 28 public hearing on a proposed amendment to Title 16.2 to set a 30-day appeal period for final decisions by the Planning Board, Board of Appeals, and Kittery Port Authority to eliminate discrepancies with state law.
The Kittery Planning Board voted May 14 to schedule a public hearing on a housekeeping amendment to Title 16.2 that would establish a 30-day appeal period for final decisions by the Planning Board, the Board of Appeals, and the Kittery Port Authority.
Town Planner Max Zakian introduced the proposal, saying the change is intended to eliminate discrepancies between the town code and state law. Dutch Dunkelberger moved to schedule the May 28 public hearing; Lea Kaufman seconded. The motion passed, 6-0-0.
Why it matters: the amendment affects the timeframe for filing appeals of Planning Board and related decisions, which may change procedural rights for applicants and interested parties. The board did not adopt the amendment at the May 14 meeting; it only scheduled a public hearing to take public input and consider the change.
Next steps: the board will hear public comment on May 28 before taking any formal action.
