DESIGN REVIEW TEAM
click here for agendas and minutes
Officially appointed in 2006, the Design Review Team (DRT) holds regularly scheduled meetings to review site development applications submitted or proposed to be submitted to the Zoning process. The Canton DRT works to positively impact the future development of the community from a perspective of aesthetics and design considerations. Many recommendations are made through the DRT review process to enhance and/or preserve the character of the town.
The DRT functions to assist businesses with the design aspects of the zoning approval process in advance of the public hearing, with the intent of saving applicants time and money. Design Review provides a mechanism for designs to be developed with Town input prior to the submission of a final site design by an applicant. The early review of building and site design is strongly encouraged to occur prior to the filing of an application before much design money has been spent. The DRT collaborates with applicants using the standards and guidance represented in Section 69 of the Canton Zoning Regulations.
The DRT consists of five (5) members who meet monthly on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 5:30 at the Library/Community Center at 40 Dyer Avenue. The members include an architect, a landscape architect, two members who have education, training or experience in a design oriented field and a member of the Zoning Commission. The Land Use office provides technical and professional support services to the DRT. The public is invited to attend all meetings of the DRT.
