Development Review Board
The Development Review Board (DRB) is the municipal body that, when required, is authorized and delegated to uphold and interpret the Bolton Land Use and Development Regulations (BLUDRs). It is also the board authorized to hear appeals from decisions of the Bolton Zoning Administrator. Its members are appointed by the Bolton Select Board.
The DRB reviews complete applications for proposed projects at public hearings. Such reviews may be for site plans, conditional uses, variance requests and/or subdivisions. The BLUDRs and state statutes set forth the criteria upon which the DRB makes its decisions. All public hearings must obey the open meeting law. This law does, however, allow quasi-judicial boards, such as the DRB, to deliberate in a closed session. The DRB may also reach a decision in a closed session, provided the decision reached is put in writing and made public.
All decisions of the DRB may be appealed by the applicant or an interested party who participated at the public hearing for the application. An appeal must be made within 30 days of the decision. All appeals are heard by the Vermont Environmental Court.
Please email the Planning and Zoning Administrator if you have any questions about zoning, obtaining a zoning permit, a proposed project that has been issued a permit or is to be before the DRB, or the zoning and subdivision approval or appeal process in general.
For more details, or if you are interested in joining the Development Review Board, contact the Town Office.
