Candidates for Planning Board:
Members attend monthly meetings, during which they hear presentations, discuss pending applications, hear public comments, and vote on whether to approve or reject requests, and/or impose any appropriate conditions for approval.
Meeting preparation involves reviewing relevant materials provided by the Village’s Building Department, including the applicant’s submittal materials and any necessary background offered by the Village Planner. Members are required to make site visits to gain full understanding of each property in question; occasionally, they may need to perform additional outside or code research for certain applications. Preparation for each meeting typically takes about two to four hours.
Because the Planning Board renders binding decisions, a quorum must be present for each meeting. Therefore, regular meeting attendance is very important. Experience in the legal, engineering, architecture and/or the environmental industries all are helpful, but not requirements for serving on the Planning Board.
