Planning Board discusses conditional approvals, legal follow-up and compliance role
Summary
Members discussed how to handle conditional approvals when conditions are unmet and the potential role of a compliance officer; legal counsel had been consulted but had not yet provided guidance.
Tamworth Planning Board members discussed how to address conditional approvals when conditions are not met or when new information arises after approval. Andy Fisher reported he had approached legal counsel for guidance but had not yet received a response; the minutes record that the board lacks a follow-up mechanism for checking compliance.
The board considered assigning follow-up duties to a compliance officer if the town hires one. Legal counsel suggested that such an officer could be tasked with monitoring conditions and answering questions from applicants and the public. Board members discussed the practicalities of assigning those responsibilities and agreed to continue exploring options at a future meeting.
No formal action or vote was recorded on creating the compliance officer position at the work session.
