Planning Board – Purposes and Duties 

The general purpose of the Planning Board is to provide for and guide the orderly growth and development of the community.

This is accomplished primarily through development of a Master Plan for the Town, the Zoning Bylaw, and the Planning Board’s Rules and Regulations Governing Subdivision of Land. The purpose of these administrative duties is to ensure the public safety, interest and welfare of the residents of the Town within the Planning Board’s functional areas as mandated by statutes and local bylaws and regulations. The Planning Board is responsible for the administration of the Subdivision Control Law pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws Chapter 41 and its Rules and Regulations, to provide ways that are safe and adequate for pedestrian and vehicular access.

The Board conducts meetings and public hearings in compliance with Massachusetts General Laws to review and consider subdivision plans and Approval Not Required (also called Form A or 81P) plans. The Planning Board also makes recommendations on the laying out and acceptance of public ways.

Another important function of the Planning Board is to consider and prepare amendments to the Town’s Zoning Bylaw. The Board conducts public hearings on amendments drafted by the Board and on amendments that are submitted to the Board by way of citizen petition or by landowners or other town boards through the proper procedures for submitting Town Meeting articles.
