Scenic road consents are governed by M.G.L Chapter 40, § 15C and General Bylaw, Chapter
90, Scenic Roads. It should be noted that most roads within the Town of Harvard have been designated as scenic roads. A complete list can be found in the General Bylaw, Chapter
90, Scenic Roads.
Before the Board can decide on an application for a scenic road consent, a public hearing must be held as described in Article
IX of this chapter. The Board may hold a joint hearing with the Tree Warden. If a joint hearing is held, advertisement of the hearing shall indicate that a joint hearing of the Board and the Tree Warden is being held.
Within 14 days of its vote, and prior to the end of the forty-five-day
period, the Board shall file a copy of its decision with the Town
Clerk.
A decision of the Board may be appealed in accordance with MGL
Chapter 249, Section 4.
