Links to Planning and Zoning Board minutes

We've removed the links to the town's site because they keep changing the url. We have provided a link to the town's web site on our homepage ( see link at bottom of page ) and from there you can find the links to the meeting minutes of each board. Be aware though, some dept's haven't updated meeting minutes in months. )
If you click on the dated minutes links, which you will notice are not in sequence and which have been edited recently, you will get a new page with a written transcript of what took place at each meeting with regards to this project. The transcripts are not verbatim, only what chairperson Margaret Sharra deemed important and therefore, not all information is included in the minutes; thus the records are really incomplete.

Of particular interest is the Zoning Board minutes of 5/31/07, to wit, no abutters were notified as per law and only one family attended because someone attached a note to their front door informing them of the meeting.

It's amazing to read those minutes and realize that elected and appointed officials appear more interested in catering to a developer than to observe the desires and wishes of those in the community they serve.

In this day and age with thousands of homes being foreclosed weekly one wonders why a Board wouldn't want to make sure vacant properties weren't occupied before adding to the list of available properties. Foreclosed and vacant homes can create a blight on a community only surpassed by the blight this developer creates at every site he attempts to develop.

I never knew our town even had a website let alone that you could actually read about what goes on at these meetings. Thank you for sharing this with all of us.
