My thought process has been that we tell abutters and interested parties that materials are available for review. If we don't have materials then how can they review them? If the item is not a public hearing, we require all documents in hand at MINIMUM 48 hours in advance so the agenda can be prepared. We use an agenda management software so all supplemental items become "attachments" for anyone to access.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#0000ff"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif;font-size:large;color:#0000ff">2) We have not had to use all of the resources available to the Planning Board to ensure compliance. Typically site meetings for resolution. Sometimes a letter from the Planning Board has a bit more weight. Last option is a demand for them to appear before the Planning Board. We haven't been required to go much further than that. </div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><font color="#a64d79" face="tahoma, sans-serif"><b><img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?id=1B6j3ietT62Ha2z-7cZV8TtzXLczsUs35&export=download" width="96" height="95"></b></font><div><font face="tahoma, sans-serif" color="#0000ff"><b>Michelle R.

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello All - On behalf of the Northborough Planning Board, the Board has requested I pose the following questions:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1">
<li class="gmail-m_747226974404930108MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">If your Board requires applicants to send materials in advance of the next meeting, how many days in advance do you require the information? If the material is not sent in advance
of the meeting, does your board automatically continue the hearing to the next meeting and if so, do you notify abutters in advance of the date change? Is this requirement regarding submission of additional information contained in your Planning Board Rules
and Regulations? Do you find requiring a deadline effective in that once a firm’s project is continued for not submitting the additional information in a timely manner they are more compliant on the next project? (This is for material after the initial public
hearing.)<u></u><u></u></li></ol>
<p class="gmail-m_747226974404930108MsoListParagraph"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<ol style="margin-top:0in" start="2" type="1">
<li class="gmail-m_747226974404930108MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in">Regarding the adherence of site plan and/or special permit conditions, I’m assuming you find applicants generally comply with the conditions found in the decision. If an applicant
does not comply, do you utilize Chapter 40 Section 21D and enforce your bylaws and conditions through non-criminal disposition? If so, have you found this to be effective or do you find the applicant paying the fine as opposed to complying with the decision?
I assume most communities have the staff meet with the offender on site, explain the situation, and generally the situation is resolved. But for situations of non-compliance do you find the non-criminal disposition effective?<u></u><u></u></li></ol>
