The Development Review Board (DRB)’s role is to apply and interpret the rules, regulations, and guidance of the State of Vermont and the Town of Monkton to subdivision projects, changes to parcels, some uses of property, and waiver applications. All permits, use applications, subdivisions, boundary line adjustments, waivers, etc., begin with the Zoning Administrator. Some types of applications are then referred to the DRB.
The DRB makes every effort to conduct its work fairly and consistently in accord with the rules, regulations, and guidance of the State of Vermont and the Town of Monkton, as documented in the Unified Planning Document (zoning), the Monkton Town Plan, and state law. Where there is flexibility within that framework, as applications are evaluated, we seek to balance the interests of landowners and of the community as a whole.
The Development Review Board (DRB) meets on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month. Meetings are at 7:30 p.m. in the Monkton Town Hall and on Zoom. It is recommended to check the Town Calendar as meetings may be canceled if there are no hearings or other scheduled business for a certain meeting. By contacting the Zoning Administrator or DRB in advance such meetings can be kept on the calendar, to allow for Public Comment. Our email address is: drb@monktonvt.com
