Planning Board Schedule and Application Queue
Link to PDF version below
The Planning Board schedule for April through November 2024 is below. The Planning Board typically meets on the first and third Tuesdays of the month. This schedule can change based on Board workload, holidays and town elections, weather-related cancellations, member availability, and other factors. In addition to application review, the Planning Board has administrative duties, such as developing land use ordinance amendments. Some meetings – typically the first Tuesdays – address these administrative matters.
When the Planning Board has multiple applications in the queue, they and the Planning Office make the best effort to agendize these applications as soon as possible. Per the Board’s bylaws, the Chair prepares meeting agendas. Board workload, time-sensitive matters (e.g. public hearings, ordinance amendments), the lack of a quorum at a meeting, when an application was submitted, whether a site plan amendment might be major or minor, and other factors influence what is placed on an agenda and when. Submitting an application by a certain date does not guarantee it will be heard at a certain meeting. Applications lacking required information may be set aside until that information is provided.
Board members are citizen volunteers who volunteer their time not only at meetings, but also in preparation for meetings, reviewing agenda packets that are sometimes 100 or more pages. Accordingly, the number of items on any one agenda is limited to enable a thorough, focused review of those items. Meeting minutes and Notices of Decision (documents that list the Board’s findings, decision, and approval conditions for an application) also require time at meetings.
The Planning Board’s meeting agendas will be available approximately a week before the meeting. Applications and other public records submitted to the Planning Board may be viewed by any member of the public, by visiting the Planning Office during normal business hours. You may also visit our website at www.eliotmaine.org for meeting information and applicable forms.
