[Massplanners] Special permit - certificate of compliance?

[Andrea Adams]

Good Morning, Karen:

It can vary.

In my experience, it was a team effort between the Planner, and the
relevant Building Inspector, or the Building Commissioner.

It can also include the DPW (concerning storm water requirements or roadway
improvements), or another specialty staff.

For example, when I worked in Watertown, the Sustainability Planner would
verify if required vehicle charging stations have been installed.
