What is a "Notice of Decision" and when is it used?

Written notice of the Board’s decision must be sent to the applicant, the Code Enforcement Officer, municipal department heads, and Town Council within seven (7) days of the decision. The Conservation Commission, Planning Board, and the Port Authority where appropriate, are to be included for zoning adjustment appeals. The vote of each member must be part of the record. The written notice of the decision must include the Board’s Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law. In the case of denials, the statement of findings must include the reason for the denial.
