Planning Board forwards by‑laws change on meeting time to Town Council
Summary
The Planning Board voted 5‑0 to forward a proposed by‑laws amendment removing the requirement that the board meet in the evening for quasi‑judicial items to the Town Council for consideration on May 14, 2026.
Mr. Young moved and Mr. Breen seconded a motion to forward a proposed amendment to the Planning Board by‑laws (Article III, Section I) that would remove the requirement for evening meetings when the board hears quasi‑judicial items. The board approved the motion by consensus, 5‑0, and staff will transmit the amendment and recommendation to the Town Council for its May 14, 2026 meeting.
The change was described by staff as procedural and intended to give the board flexibility in scheduling. Mr. Lear, Planning & Development Director, had noted earlier in the meeting that the proposal is among several items scheduled for Council review on May 14. No public testimony or further conditions were recorded in the minutes; the Council will receive the board's recommendation and may modify or adopt the amendment.
