What do I do if I receive an abutter notice?

A Notice of Public Hearing advises you that your property is within 200 feet of a proposed subdivision or site plan application. The Notice will advise the date of the public hearing, the parcel under consideration, and a general description of the project. At the public hearing, you will be given an opportunity to comment on the project. If you wish to ask questions or see the application prior to the date of the public hearing, contact the Planning Office. Generally, only one Notice is provided and you would need to attend the meeting or call the Planning Office to find out if the hearing has been continued, or if there will be any site walks.

If you are unable to attend the hearing, the local cable access channel (Ch 17) routinely shows replays of hearings. You can also obtain a copy of the approved minutes on the Planning Board page.
