Town Of Alford

Any person who wishes to appear before the Town Of Alford Planning Board shall file at the Town Offices, a Notice requesting that the matter be placed on the agenda for a meeting of the Board on one of its scheduled meeting dates. (Regular meetings of the Planning Board are held the 2nd Wednesday of each month at 7:30p.m. at the Afford Town Hall, 5 Alford Center Road.)

Said Notice shall be filed at Town Offices no less than one week prior to the date of the scheduled meeting. If no meeting date is specified, the matter noticed will be placed on the agenda for the next scheduled meeting, subject to any time limitations arising out of previously noticed or scheduled matters. The Board will accept any form of notice reasonably intended to give it notice of the nature of the matter that the applicant intends to bring before the Board; provided, however, that the Notice shall, at a minimum, make reference to any By-law that the applicant believes may be relevant to the matter noticed and the location of the property at issue.

If the applicant intends to present any documents at the hearing in connection with any application, such documents shall, to the extent practicable, be either attached or listed in the Notice. The Board may, in its discretion, agree to hear any matter not previously noticed. In deciding whether to hear such a matter, the Board may consider any exigent circumstances, which the applicant believes, should excuse the filing and time requirements.
