Every vote, in order
Refer petitioned Article 29 to the Planning Board for a public hearing
To refer petitioned Article 29 to the Planning Board for a public hearing.
From the minutes
“MOTION: To refer petitioned Article 29 to the Planning Board for a public hearing. Motion by: Dan Horgan Seconded by: Peter Smith Discussion: Selectman Post said that she believed it was the first time the Board had to refer a petition. Mr. Whritenour said that the Planning Board was tasked with making a recommendation at Town Meeting, and if the Board did not refer the petitioned article to the Planning Board within fourteen days of receipt, then that might impair the Planning Board's opportunity to make a recommendation. Ms. Williams stated that this allowed the Planning Board to fill out one of the forms that must go to the Attorney General as to when the petitioned article was received, and then when it was given to the Planning Board to schedule the public hearing, and it would need to be done within 14 days. She said usually Zoning articles were generated from the Planning Board, but since this particular article was petitioned, the Board of Selectmen would need to formally give it to the Planning Board. Vote: 4 ayes; 0 nays. The motion passed unanimously..” (Motion: Horgan, second: Smith)
