[Massplanners] Who you gonna call, with a zoning related question?

[Michelle Tyler]

"Asking" information ---to me -- is different from asking for a
DETERMINATION.  So I'd say that a Planner could provide information subject
to final decision/opinion by whomever is charged with Zoning Enforcement
per a community ordinance or bylaw.
*Michelle R. Tyler*
*Director of Planning*
*Town of Randolph*
*781-961-0936*
*Please be advised that the Massachusetts Secretary of State considers
e-mail to be a public record, and therefore subject to the Massachusetts
Public Records Law, M.G.L. c. 66 § 10.*
