Planning Board 2/28/08 meeting

Thursday February 28, 2008
PLANNING BOARD meets at 7:00 P.M. in Council Chambers, 212 Main Street:
7:00 PM Public Hearing Proposed revisions to the Northampton Subdivision Regulations to adjust water, inspection, fees, and forms. These changes are technical but the primary effects are 1) improve fire protection in rural subdivisions but at the expense of making development in outlying areas more expensive and on some sites impractical; 2) remove a fire flow incentive for “cookie-cutter” subdivisions instead of open space residential subdivisions; 3) codify city practice of a partially privatized approach to inspecting subdivision constructions; 4) adjust fees to cover the cost of administration; 5) require applicants’ subdivision presentations are easily viewed by the board and the public.
7:30 PM Public Hearing Proposed revisions to add graphics to illustrate Northampton Zoning

Location: City Council Chambers, 212 Main Street
