<p class="MsoNormal">Here’s one for you: Our current zoning bylaw allows for Minor Site Plan Review applications to be discussed and approved by a Development Review Team made up of town staff; myself, Building Commissioner, DPW Director, Police, Fire, BOH,
etc. A member or two of my Planning Board has questioned the legality of this. I have not seen anywhere where this is not legal. Does your town/city allow for the approval of minor site plan reviews by town staff, or are they all done by your Planning Board?
