[Massplanners] AGO Dover letter to Dennis

[Hurley, Margaret (AGO)]

Since I have received many requests for the Dover Amendment letter I have attempted to post the letter here to the listserv. If that is not successful, I will send a direct copy to all who have requested one.

Thank you for your engagement on this issue and enjoy your weekend!

Margaret

Hello Chris:

We (the AGO) will be publishing a guidance document on this issue soon but in the meantime I can send you a letter we sent to the Dennis Planning Board.

Best,

Margaret

Hi all



Because of a difficult and controversial Dover application a few years ago, the Planning Board asked me to develop a review guide for a Dover-relevant site plan review process. I've stitched together a barely adequate draft based on caselaw and other fuzzy resources but was wondering if anyone has come up with a document that helps Planning Board members to understand what they can, can't, and shouldn't evaluate and to what thresholds.



Have a good weekend and Happy Holidays!
