Planning Board

The Open Meeting Law requires public bodies to create and approve minutes in a timely manner. A “timely manner” is considered to be within the next three public body meetings or 30 days from the date of the meeting, whichever is later, unless the public body can show good cause for further delay. The Attorney General encourages minutes to be approved at a public body’s next meeting whenever possible. The law requires that existing minutes be made available to the public within ten days of a request, whether they have been approved or remain in draft form. Materials or other exhibits used by the public body in an open meeting must also be made available to the public within ten days of a request. 

The Planning Board ensures compliance with Chapter 41 of the General Laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The Planning Board also acts under the Norfolk Zoning Bylaw and the Planning Board Rules and Regulations for the Subdivision of Land and Site Plan Approval. The Planning Board is primarily responsible for Subdivision of land, Site plan approval, and the Scenic Roads Act Hearings.

Meetings are generally held on the 2nd Tuesday of each month.
