When submitting an application to the Planning Board, why are multiple copies of the application, site plans, floor plans and elevations required?
When an application is filed with the Planning Board two full sets of all materials submitted are kept on file in the Planning Board Office. In addition, the Town Clerk’s Office must maintain one copy of all application materials submitted. The Planning Board must also forward one full set of all materials submitted to each member of the Planning Board and to other appropriate Boards for their review and comment. Depending on the type of filing, materials may be forwarded to 5 to 10 different Boards/Departments in addition to members of the Planning Board. Therefore, depending on the type of filing, the applicant must provide between eight and eighteen copies of documents. The number required for each type of filing is clearly outlined on the procedures page of each Application packet.
