Bartlett Planning Board will issue written notices of decision going forward
Summary
After reviewing RSA 676:3 language, the board voted unanimously to institute a formal notice‑of‑decision letter process for approvals and denials going forward; the change is procedural and not retroactive.
Reading RSA language into the record July 6, the Planning Board secretary recommended that the board provide formal written notices of decision for approvals or denials to avoid future legal exposure. Members debated whether the minutes suffice as the official written record and discussed the administrative burden.
The board voted (motion by David Shedd, seconded by David Patch) unanimously to add a notice‑of‑decision step to future applications; the process will not be applied retroactively to past approvals. The secretary said she would prepare a form letter consistent with the Planning Board Handbook and standard practice in other towns.
