THE STERLING PLANNING BOARD, CHAIRED BY SELF-DEALING DEVELOPER WEASEL CARL CORRINNE, TOGETHER WITH ITS TALKING SOCK PUPPET TOWN PLANNER, SEEK, DISHONESTLY AND MALICIOUSLY, UNDER THE GUISE OF MAKING INTERNAL SITE PLAN HOUSEKEEPING REGULATIONS, WHOLESALE CHANGES TO THE ACTUAL SITE PLAN ZONING BY-LAWS THAT THE PLANNING BOARD CAN GUT LATER

Folks, under the TOWN OF STERLING’S EXISTING ZONING BY-LAWS the Planning Board has EXPLICIT AUTHORITY to formulate and adopt internal/housekeeping SITE PLAN regulations.

HERE IS THAT STERLING ZONING BY-LAW PROVISION—

§ 301-6.4.8. 

Regulations. The Planning Board may adopt and from time to time amend reasonable regulations for the administration of these site plan guidelines.

BUT, in a DISHONEST, DECEPTIVE, MALICIOUS PLOY, the Planning Board and Town Planner want 2025 Sterling Annual Town Meeting voters to REVISE THE STERLING ZONING BY-LAWS SUBSTANTIVE SITE PLAN PROVISIONS THEMSELVES AS A FIRST STEP TOWARD A TRULY EVIL SECOND STEP TO BE TAKEN LATER BY THE PLANNING BOARD.

Here is the DISHONEST, DECEPTIVE, MALICIOUS OPENING PARAGRAPH ISSUED BY THE PLANNING BOARD’S TALKING SOCK PUPPET, THE TOWN PLANNER—

“Planner’s Explanation: The Zoning Bylaw’s current Site Plan provision authorizes the Planning Board to adopt Site Plan Regulations, which the Board has not done to this point. Revising the Site Plan section of the Zoning Bylaw will enable the Planning Board to include design guidelines in its new set of Site Plan Regulations. Further, much of the content of the existing bylaw can be moved into the regulations.” ————————————————————————————————

The “Site Plan Regulations” referred to are intended to be INTERNAL, HOUSEKEEPING REGULATIONS DEALING WITH FILING PROTOCOLS, CONTENTS, NOTICES, ETC., NOT SUBSTANTIVE CHANGES TO THE ZONING BY-LAWS THEMSELVES.

SO WHAT FOLLOWS THE DISHONEST, DECEPTIVE, AND MALICIOUS TOWN PLANNER’S/PLANNING BOARD’S OPENING PARAGRAPH, ABOVE???

ANSWER—WHOLESALE CHANGES TO THE SUBSTANTIVE SITE PLAN ZONING BY-LAWS THEMSELVES!

AND HERE IS THE REALLY EVIL, MALICIOUS PORTION OF THE BENT TOWN PLANNER’S EXPLANATION—

“Further, much of the content of the existing bylaw can be moved into the regulations.” ————————————————————————————————”

YEAH, SO LET’S ALTER THE ACTUAL ZONING BY-LAWS SITE PLAN PROVISIONS THEMSELVES AND NEXT MAKE THEM PART OF THE PLANNING BOARD’S INTERNAL REGULATIONS SO THE PLANNING BOARD CAN GUT THEM LATER WITHOUT A TOWN MEETING VOTE.

NEED MORE PROOF THAT THE PLANNING BOARD AND TOWN PLANNER ARE LOW ENOUGH TO BLOW THE BUFFALO ON A NICKEL???

DIDN’T THINK SO.

SHOOT DOWN THAT EVIL, MALICIOUS PROPOSAL AT THE 2025 STERLING ANNUAL TOWN MEETING.

See you at the Town Zoning Forum, Wednesday evening, 19 February 2025.
