Responsibilities
The Planning Board is a local government body, composed of volunteers responsible for guiding the municipality’s growth by creating and enforcing land use plans, review of development proposals and advising elected officials on long-term community development, ensuring it aligns with public health, safety and welfare. It manages the comprehensive plan and holds public hearings, as needed, and makes decisions based on ordinances and community needs.
The Board performs and updates a comprehensive plan as defined in 30-A MRSA, Section 4324. The Board conducts planning studies and prepare reports, make recommendations, advocate local and State public policies, and advise the citizens and Municipal Officers of planning and community issues pending for consideration or discussion. The Board may take such actions either at the volition of the members or at the request of the Municipal Officers or voters assembled at the Town Meeting. Refer to the Planning Board Ordinance for specifics regarding scope, organization, powers and process.
Board members serve terms of three years and are appointed by the Select Board.
