[Massplanners] abutter to applicant with multiple parcels

[Daniel Fortier]

My rule of thumb is to cast the widest net for Special Permits, so I would look at all their campus as one site and notify abutters and anyone else within 300 feet of that perimeter. As a 3A exempt project, Dennis had a non-site plan review procedure which did not involve a public hearing though and no notice was mailed to anyone.

fellows,

Thanks in advance for any guidance or references.  Thanks too for helpful answers to past queries.

Today.....In which cases are property owners considered abutters and thus required to be notified of Hearings:

abutters of the parcel(s) subject to the Hearing......?     This one's easy.....yes, of course....but what about:

abutters of adjacent parcels (to the subject parcel) owned by the same applicant/owner (in this case a non-profit 40A c3 institution)...?

abutters of non-adjacent parcels (to the subject parcel) owned by the same applicant owner...e.g off-campus housing.....?


Real situation, and much scrutinized process.

Thanks
