He emphasized that the planning board dedicated significant time to\u00a0public workshops\u00a0and previously invited the council to work in a\u00a0collaborative partnership. Penta took personal offense at claims that the planning board ignored\u00a0last-minute suggestions, arguing that such requests must follow a formal, documented process rather than being &#8220;thrown in&#8221; at the end. He urged the Town Council liaison, Shawn Faber, to advocate for more\u00a0professionalism\u00a0and better communication to ensure the project reaches completion without\u00a0inter-board finger-pointing. Ultimately, the Planning Board leader believes the Town Council must match the\u00a0rigorous work ethic\u00a0of the staff to successfully modernize the town&#8217;s long-standing land-use regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Fractured Partnership: Planning Board Response to the PUD Debate\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vZtdiRedcgA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Related Posts:<\/strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/townunderground.com\/?p=11798\">Video: Town Council First Reading: Planned Unit Development Ordinance Amendment, 4\/6\/2026<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the 4\/8\/2026 Planning Board meeting, Vice Chairman of the Planning Board, Jeff Penta,\u00a0expressed frustration regarding the\u00a0Town Council&#8217;s\u00a0handling of revisions to the\u00a0Planned Unit Development (PUD) on Monday night.
