Planning board authorizes chair to sign approved plats and plans
Summary
Members voted to change the planning board bylaws to authorize the chair to sign approved plats/plans on behalf of the board (in line with RSA 6:74:37); the board will pursue formal edits to subdivision regulations at a public hearing.
The Nottingham Planning Board voted to add language to its bylaws authorizing the chair to sign approved plats and plans on behalf of the board. Members reviewed RSA 6:74:37 and discussed a clear, short signature block ("Planning Board approval, Town of Nottingham, Chair, date") to make processing and recording more efficient.
Board members said the change will speed final plan processing and reduce the burden of assembling all members for signatures. A motion to add bylaw language authorizing the chair to sign approved plats/plans "in accordance with RSA 6 74 37" passed by voice vote. The board also agreed to prepare formal subdivision‑regulation edits (including adjusting the signature block) and hold a public hearing to adopt those changes.
