Planning Board discusses applicant checklist, fee-refund policy and town well roof
Summary
Board members agreed to create an application checklist to streamline reviews; members confirmed a recent application fee refund was handled and recommended adding refund policy to Planning Board procedures. A separate concern was raised about a split town well roof possibly under State easement.
Charles Underhill suggested the Planning Board compile a checklist of required items for applications to reduce repeated rounds of review; Chip Current agreed and said he will prepare one. Members said a checklist could save time and reduce the number of meetings required for minor site-plan applications.
Charles also reported he had contacted the Budget Committee about the Capital Improvement Plan and asked whether a recently withdrawn application’s refund had been handled; Chip said the refund was resolved and recommended adding a formal refund provision to Planning Board policies. Separately, Leo Traverse raised that the Town well roof has split; Chip said he believes the well sits in a State easement and that responsibility may lie with the State, while Vince Edwards suggested the Fire Department might make some use of the structure.
