Overview: In a recent Fair Haven Planning Board meeting, the board members unanimously approved an ordinance amendment aimed at increasing public transparency regarding project hearings. The amendment modifies Chapter 30, “Form of Notice,” requiring that future notices include both the lot and block number as well as the street address of properties involved in public hearings. This change was prompted by a staff member’s observation that the previous format, which only cited lot and block, could be confusing for residents who might not know their block number. The new requirement is designed to make it easier for citizens to identify and visualize the location of proposed projects.
