An application or petition for a special permit may be brought
by a property owner, agent or prospective purchaser who submits certification
of property interest and authority to file such application for the
area of land comprising the application locus.
It is recommended that an applicant meet with the Planning Board
staff and Building Department prior to submitting a special permit
application to discuss site plan requirements and design objectives.
The applicant should provide a concept plan (for discussion purposes)
for said meeting. A pre-application conference is to assist in the
identification of issues and in determining information necessary
to meet the requirements of the Zoning Bylaw for the application.
If determined necessary by staff and requested by the applicant, the
Planning Board may hold a pre-application conference at any regular
meeting of the Board.
Full compliance with these regulations may be waived by the
Board, provided such waivers are deemed to serve the public interest
and are not conflicting with MGL c. 40A.
The provisions of these rules and regulations are severable.
If any provision is held invalid, the other provisions shall not be
affected thereby. If the application of these rules and regulations
or any of their provisions to any person or circumstances is held
invalid, the application of these rules and regulations and their
provisions to other persons and circumstances shall not be affected
thereby.
