The cadence of the <br /> review process would be revised to have the Planning Board make its recommendation prior to the public hearing. <br /> Notices would be mailed to nearby property owners and a sign(s)would be posted;this revision will notify nearby <br /> property owners of potential changes much earlier in the process. Although the Planning Board meeting would <br /> not be an official public hearing,the public could address the Planning Board (the existing requirement for written <br /> comments only is not proposed to continue in this revised process)and the Planning Board can take all public <br /> comments into consideration when making its recommendation. <br />
