TOWN OF BREWSTER MINUTES OF PLANNING BOARD
REGULAR MEETING

Brewster Town Office Building
Chairman Henchy convened the Planning Board meeting at 7:00 pm in the Brewster Town Office Building
with members Taylor, Tubman, Pierce, Bugle and Barnard.
Chairman Henchy opened the hearing October 8, 2008 by reading the legal advertisements and making the

stated that during the hearing any member of the Board or interested party could direct questions through the
Chairman to a speaker relating to the proposal.
Other Business:
A. Review of Preliminary Comprehensive Permit Fee and Consulting Expenses for ZBA
-ZBA to attend the meeting to discuss
Present: Phil Jackson, Bob McClellan, Pat Edgers, Art Stewart, Bruce McGregor
Jackson: Discussed the recommendations to the ZBA prepared by D. Heaton. Of particular interest was the
comprehensive fee that the town charges for definitive subdivision and other permits. Currently the rate is low and
should be reviewed. The fees of the ZBA should be in line with the Planning Board fees. It can cost the
ZBA/Town anywhere from $2,000-10,000 for a professional review.
Barnard: Agreed that the Town should recover all the costs associated with reviews and that any consultant fees
should be added on top of the application fee.
A review of fees charged by other towns was undertaken along with a lengthy discussion regarding adjusting the
fees. The final consensus was as follows:
- ANR application fee = $300 + $100/lot
- Preliminary definitive subdivision fee = $1,500 + $100/lot
- Definitive subdivision fee = $5,000 + $200/lot
- Major definitive modification = $3,000 + $100/unit
- Road Name = $300
- Road Inspection = .75/foot
-Site Review = $500
- Lot release - no charge
In order for the fees to be increased the Board must hold a public hearing.
Bugle: Motioned to reset the fees and to hold a Public Hearing. Seconded by Barnard.
All Aye.
