[Massplanners] deadline for filing materials?

[Barbara Carboni]

Good morning all:

I know this was discussed at some point within the last year or two -

The Planning Board is considering adopting a policy to address the practice of applicants and others submitting materials right up to the time/date of a hearing, which is quite burdensome to our administrative assistant (as well as depriving board members a reasonable opportunity to review the materials).   The concept is that materials submitted after XXX would not be considered at the meeting.  There was discussion around what an acceptable interval would be - 48 hours before hearing; 24 hours before hearing; noon the day before hearing, etc.

Does anyone have a policy like this (or other strategy)? As previously discussed, it's easy to adopt a policy; not so easy to stick to it.

Thanks,
Barbara
