An Act relative to planning boards' approval of subdivision plans.
Be
it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court
assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 81U of chapter 41 of the
General Laws, as appearing in the 1996 Official Edition, is hereby amended by
adding the following paragraph:—
In any city or town which has accepted the provisions of this paragraph, in the
case of approval or disapproval of a definitive subdivision plan by action of
the planning board, the planning board shall send notice of such approval to
all persons that they were required to give the initial notice of the public
hearing and shall inform all persons of their right to appeal and the time in
which such appeal must be filed. The petitioner who seeks approval by reason of
failure of the planning board to act within the time prescribed shall notify
the city or town clerk in writing, within 14 days from the expiration of the
approval period required in Section 81U or extended time, if applicable, of
such approval. That notice shall be sent by mail to all persons that were
required to receive the initial notice of the public hearing and it shall
specify that appeals, if any, shall be filed within 20 days after the date the
city or town clerk received such written notice from the petitioner that the
board failed to act within the time prescribed.
