                                   General Bylaws
                             Effective December 8, 2025
           Where no special permit is required by the Town’s Zoning Bylaw for the keeping or
           raising of animals for which application is also being made under these regulations,
           the Health Director shall not act on the application until more than 14 days have
           passed since the mailing of notice to Neighbors. If at the end of that period the
           Health Director has received written comments whereby the owners of a majority of
           the Neighboring Properties have expressed objection to the application, the Health
           Director shall schedule and hold, within 30 days of the deadline for receiving
           Neighbors’ comment, an administrative hearing for the purpose of taking public
           testimony regarding the proposal. The Health Director shall give written notice of the
           time and place of the hearing, not less than 7 days prior to the hearing, to the
           applicant by certified mail, to Neighbors and parties in interest by mail, by posting
           with the Town Clerk, and by publication once in a newspaper of local circulation.
           Failure to hold an administrative hearing within the specified time period shall be
           considered to constitute a constructive grant of approval of the application. (7) Exception
