Lenox to curb Planning Board power on zoning bylaw
Lenox officials plan to have town counsel Alberti draft changes giving zoning variances and exceptions authority to the Zoning Board of Appeals instead of the Planning Board. A Boston visit informed by Carter Lee warned of legal risk to the current bylaw. A curative bylaw to enforce past Planning Board decisions may be needed, with further bylaws after a town building code is adopted. The process could wrap in about two months.
