Planning Board

The Planning Board is a dedicated group of volunteers. The Board meets the second Tuesday of each month at 6pm at the Town Hall to conduct regular business. Meeting Agendas are posted in the Times Record, on the website, and at the Town Hall. The Planning Board meets at other times as necessary and conducts ordinance review workshops throughout the year. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving commercial development, subdivisions, home occupations, and projects in the Shoreland Zone along with reviewing and suggesting amendments to the Development Review Ordinance & Land Use Ordinance. For meeting times, contact the West Bath Town Office at 443-4342, or check scheduled meetings.
 
The Planning Board works closely with Code Enforcement Officer Jonathan Beane, who holds regular office hours Monday through Friday 8:30am to 4pm. If you have questions or need assistance with presenting a project for review by the Planning Board please contact CEO Beane at (207) 443-4342.
