[Massplanners] Special Permit Decisions w/ Transitional Board

[Martha Taylor]

Hi Chris,

Both our Planning Board and our Select Board (which serves as the SPGA for
certain uses) have been in this situation a number of times over the past
few years and we have just re-noticed the hearing to effectively "push
reset" and allow all the Board members to participate in the proceedings
going forward.  We have not required the Applicant to withdraw and
resubmit.  All public notice requirements still apply.

Hope this helps.

Martha
