Maine law does not require a Planning Board. If a town elects not to have a planning board the board of selectman become the permit reviewers.
Population of 743 men, women and children, with 10% unemployment, over $5,000 in planning board expenses, less than 20 new construction permits issued for the year.
Is there any reason that the CEO can not review all applications, and issue permits, expect those requiring review (those would go before the board of selectman).
A reasonable person would entertain that based on costs, town values and the number of permits issued that abolishing the planning board and having the select baord review the work of the CEO would be a smart move. It also would provide the select board with direct oversight with CEO and board, stream line the process and provide direct contact. Do you think this would make things simplified in government for you the customer?
