Planning Board Action: Before the Board makes its determination,
it shall review or have a consultant review the correctness of all
street information and compliance with the Town of Lunenburg Zoning
Bylaws. If, in the judgment of the Board, consulting services are
necessary or appropriate, the applicant shall be responsible to cover
the full cost of such services prior to the endorsement of the plan.
Where the physical condition or width of a way, from which the
lots shown on the plan have their access, is considered by the Board
to be inadequate either to provide for emergency services or to carry
the traffic which is expected, in the opinion of the Board, to be
generated by such lots, the Board shall determine that the plan does
require approval under the Subdivision Control Law.
Where the Board determines that in its opinion adequate access
(as contemplated by section 81M of the Subdivision Control Law) does
not exist, the Board shall determine that the plan does require approval
under the Subdivision Control Law.
(1)
If the Board determines that the plan does not require approval
under the Subdivision Control Law, the Board, without a public hearing,
will vote to endorse the plan. The Planning Board may add to such
endorsement a statement of the reason or reasons approval is not required.
(2)
The original copy of the plan shall be returned to the applicant,
who shall file it with the Worcester Northern Registry of Deeds and
return a receipt of filing to the Planning Board. The Planning Board
shall also notify the Town Clerk in writing of its action within 21
days of the endorsement.
(3)
If the Board determines that the plan does require approval,
the Board will vote to deny the plan and file a written statement
with the Town Clerk, and mail a copy to the applicant, of its determination
including its reason for denial.
