[Massplanners] [EXTERNAL] Re: Process to supersede previously approved plans?

[Michael McCarthy]

Similarly, we would have the PB issue a notice of decision on the “modification of a previously approved site plan” citing the revised plan by title, engineer, and latest revision date. Decisions and plan copies are distributed to all relevant departments involved with the project sign off. Approval is conditioned on the plans submitted for review.

We have a smaller scale procedure for minor revisions the PB empowers staff to approve, with a memo going out and into the case file outlining the revisions approved and the plans reviewed.

Usually te Building Commissioner would hold them to the plans cited on the most recent approved plans. If you ate concerned that this might not happen,  prepare a condition noting all previous plans are superseded.

Hello,

Do any of your communities have a process to cancel, void or supersede previously approved plans (such as site design review)? We have had one property come back three times over the course of this past year with two amendments to a previously approved plan, and finally a totally new plan for the same site because their original (and revised) plan(s) were denied by other agencies for various reasons. Our Planning Board Clerk pointed out that, technically, each approval stands for two years and is concerned that there may one day be a similar situation where an applicant could use a previously approved plan instead of (or in addition to) the most recently approved plan, when the Board's intention was of course only to permit the most recent version.

Thanks for any insights,

Corrin
