Public Hearing Participation Guidelines
- Be informed of the process and the requirements of the Board. If you are commenting about a subdivision, please limit your comments to the review criteria.
By state law, the Planning Board must consider only certain criteria when reviewing subdivisions (76-3-608(a), MCA). These criteria include:
-Effect on agriculture and agricultural water user facilities
-Effect on local services
-Effect on the natural environment
-Effect on wildlife and wildlife habitat
-Effect on public health and safety
- Provide specific information about why you are concerned about the pending application, how the decision will impact the review criteria listed above, and provide suggestions on how to minimize or eliminate the impact.
- Respect the right of others to participate. Wait until the previous speaker has completed their comments before making your own comments. Do not talk over the person commenting or with other people in attendance.
- The public hearing is not an opportunity to question or accuse the applicant or their agent. If you have questions of the Board, the applicant or the agent, ask the question directly to the Board during the public hearing portion of the meeting. The Board will respond or request the applicant or agent to respond after the public comment portion of the hearing is closed.
- After the public comment portion of the hearing is closed, no further comments are allowed unless you are addressed directly by a Board member.
- You should expect the Board to make a balanced recommendation in accordance with its statutory responsibilities. The Board's ability to make reasonable and thoughtful recommendations is dependent on a fair consideration of everyone's interests.
