A little bit of information...

The Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) welcomes public input about projects. Interested parties have the opportunity to provide written letters of comment which will become part of the official case file, call/visit the office with questions, and attend public meetings. The files are available for viewing in the Community Development Office.

To make an official comment, please email, mail, or hand-deliver comments to the Planning Department. Interested parties are encouraged to comment, whether it be in support of or against a project. There might be 99 people with no objection and 1 person who does object, but generally the Board only hears the side of the objector.

If you are interested in past projects/cases you can find them filtered by decision type and fiscal year in the blue boxes above. 

Each project reviewed by the ZBA is given a Case Number. This number is to aid in the quick look up of projects. Here is what the parts of the number mean- Case Number XXY-ZZ : the XX notes the type of application - Special Permit (SP), Variance (VA), or Appeal (AP); the Y stands for the project number; and the ZZ is the fiscal year. 

Example :  VA15-18 would be a Variance, the 15th application received that fiscal year, received in Fiscal Year 2018.

If you are looking for an older case that is not listed above, please stop by Town Hall or request Planning Department files by emailing Melissa Adams at madams@ashlandmass.com
