Any use listed in Section 2230, Use Regulation Schedule, or
in other sections of this bylaw as requiring Site Plan Review.
|
In some cases, a proposed project may require only Site Plan
Review by the Planning Board prior to receiving a Building Permit
from the Building Commissioner (additional permits may also be required
from other Town Boards, such as the Conservation Commission or Board
of Health). However, it is likely that a proposed project may also
require a Special Permit from either the Zoning Board of Appeals or
from the Planning Board. Where the Planning Board serves as the Special
Permit Granting Authority (i.e., Special Permit applications for Solar
Electric Installations, for common driveways, for the Water Shed Protection
District, and for Planned Unit Developments), it shall consolidate
Site Plan Review into the Special Permit process, applying the Special
Permit procedures and timetable for decision. Where the Zoning Board
of Appeals serves as the Special Permit Granting Authority (i.e.,
all other uses requiring a Special Permit under Section 2230, Use
Regulation Schedule), the two Boards may coordinate their reviews
of the application or each may proceed separately.
|
It is important to note that no Building Permit shall
be issued by the Building Commissioner and/or no Special Permit or
variance shall be issued by the Zoning Board of Appeals without the
written approval of the Site Plan by the Planning Board (or
the passage of 60 days without the Planning Board taking action on
the application). Conditions imposed by the Planning Board shall be
incorporated into any Special Permit or variance.
|
Public Hearings are required for all Site Plans filed. The applicant
shall obtain a list of abutters, being all "parties in interest" as
defined in G.L. c. 40A, s. 11, from the Deerfield Assessor's Office,
and shall attach the list to the application when filed. At least
fourteen (14) days prior to the day of the Public Hearing, written
notices shall be sent by the administrative staff by certified mail
at the applicant's expense to the parties in interest. Legal notice
of the public hearing shall be published at the applicant's expense
in a newspaper of general circulation in the town in each of two (2)
successive weeks, the first publication to appear not less than fourteen
(14) days prior to the day of the Public Hearing. Notice of the Public
Hearing shall also be posted in a conspicuous place in Town Hall for
a period of not less than fourteen (14) days before the day of such
hearing.
|
The Planning Board may require narrative assessments of the
on-site and off-site impacts of the proposed project, including traffic,
drainage, noise, and other environmental factors. The Planning Board
may require that such narrative assessments be prepared by qualified
experts at the applicant's expense. The Planning Board may, upon written
request of the applicant, waive any of the technical requirements
of Section 5430 or 5440 where the project involves relatively simple
development plans.
