Commissioners debate conduct and property‑sign dispute; chair refers matter to select board
Summary
A lengthy exchange during old business turned into an accusation and rebuttal session about members approaching private property and acting without board authority; the chair said the matter belongs to the select board and asked participants to provide documentary evidence.
Near the end of the meeting the commission devoted a sustained period to a procedural dispute involving signage and allegations that one or more members had acted outside their assigned duties. Participants debated whether a zoning board member had approached private property and represented the board without authorization; speakers disagreed about who had provided documents to others and whether proper procedures were followed.
The chair repeatedly emphasized that the underlying matter is now in the select board’s hands and asked anyone with documentary evidence to submit it for review. Multiple participants said they would provide paperwork after the meeting. The exchange included sharp back‑and‑forth about roles and process but produced no formal motion from the planning commission; the meeting then moved to a motion to adjourn.
