Consultation with a Planner, Development Engineer or Building Inspector

Who do I schedule an appointment with?
Planning - Questions related to critical areas, wetlands, shoreline, zoning, and vegetation removal.
Building - Questions related to your building plans and construction requirements.
Development Engineer - Questions related stormwater, road approach, utility apps, and geohazard areas.

To meet with all three regarding your project proposal schedule a consultation through the online permit center with planning and the all departments will be present to answer your questions.
