Procedure on Application for Finding and Determination
Upon receipt of an application by the Board of Appeals for a finding
and determination that a proposed construction, re-construction,
alteration or addition, including the site development relating thereto,
constitutes a desirable development in, and will not be detrimental to,
the neighborhood, and of a site plan, in duplicate, relating thereto,
under the provisions of Section 5, subsection (f), (h) and (i) of this
By-Law, the Board of Appeals shall within three days (Saturdays, Sundays
and holidays excluded) transmit to the Planning Board one copy of said
application and one copy of said site plan.
The Planning Board shall consider the same and submit a final report
thereon with recommendations to the Board of Appeals . The Board of Appeals
shall not make a finding and determination upon an application until it has
received the final report of the Planning Board thereon or thirty days
shall have elapsed since the transmittal of said copies of the application
and site plan to the Planning Board without such report being submitted.
The Board of Appeals shall hold a public hearing and, except as
hereinafter provided, shall take final action on an application within
forty-five days after the filing of such application with said Board of
Appeals.
Such final action shall consist of either (1) a finding and determina-
tion that said construction, re-construction, alteration or addition,
including the site development relating thereto, constitutes a desirable
development in, and will not be detrimental to, the immediate neighborhood,
or (2) a written denial of the application for such finding and determina-
tion, stating the reasons for such denial. A finding and determination
may be made subject to such conditions and restrictions set forth therein
as the Board may deem necessary to insure that the proposed construction,
re-construction, alteration or addition, including the site development
relating thereto, will be a desirable development in, and will not be
detrimental to, the neighborhood. If the reasons for a denial are that,
because of objectionable features, the proposed construction,
-27-
re-construction, alteration or addition will not constitute a desirable
development in, or will be detrimental to, the immediate neighborhood,
or both, the Board will indicate in its denial the respects in which the
proposed construction, re-construction, alteration or addition, including
site development, should, in the judgment of the Board, be changed so as
to eliminate such objectionable features.
In the event that the Board makes such finding and determination,
such construction, re-construction, alteration or addition, including the
site development relating thereto, shall be carried on only in strict
conformity with the application and the site plan on the basis of which
the finding and determination are made, and with any conditions and
restrictions to which the Board shall have made its finding and determination
subject .
The period within which final action shall be taken may be extended
for a definite period by mutual consent of the Board of Appeals and the
applicant . In the event the Board determines that the site plan and
evidence presented to it at the public hearing are inadequate to permit
the Board to make a finding and determination, it may, in its discretion,
instead of denying the application, adjourn the hearing to a later date
to permit the applicant to submit a revised site plan and further evidence.
The Board of Appeals shall file with its records a written report of
its final action on each application, with its reasons therefor.
