Zoning Amendment: Appeals

This article has been submitted at the Request of the Windham Planning Board in an effort to educate the public on the zoning ordinance amendments that are being recommended by the for 2012 Town Meeting.  A series of articles will be published each week leading up to Town Meeting on March 13th.  Each article will provide a summary of one or more zoning amendments being proposed. 

By Laura Scott

Amendment #1 is to the Appeals Section of the Zoning Ordinance (Section 904).  This Amendment would clarify that appeals to the Zoning Board of Adjustment need to be made within 30 days of the issuance of the decision of the Planning Board and within 30 days of the decision being issued by the Administrative Officer.  This amendment will ensure that those aggrieved by a decision of the Planning Board and/or Administrative Officer understand the timeframe in which an appeal needs to be made.  This was recommended by the Planning Board 6-0. 

For more information on this Amendment, or any of the other Zoning Amendments, please visit the Planning Board page of the Town web site (www.windhamnewhampshire.com) or contact the Community Development Department at 432-3806.
