Form 299 Date: September 20, 2019 Attorney General’s Notice Pursuant to G.L. c. 40, § 32, as amended by Chapter 299 of the Acts of 2000 Town of Granville Case No. 9488 Annual Town Meeting of May 13, 2019 Articles # 25 and 26 Attorney General's Limited Au- thority to Waive Procedural De- fects in the Notice of the Plan- ning Board Hearing Pursuant to the provisions of G.L. c. 40, § 32, as amended by Chapter 299 of the Acts of 2000, if the Attorney General finds there to be any defect in the pro- cedure of adoption or amend- ment of any zoning by-law relat- ing to the form or content of the notice of the Planning Board hearing prescribed by G.L. c. 40A, § 5, or to the manner or dates on which said notice is mailed, posted or published as required by that section, then in- stead of disapproving the by-law or amendment by reason of any such defect, the Attorney Gener- al may elect to proceed under the defect waiver provisions of G.L. c. 40, § 32. Under those provisions, the Attorney General is conditionally authorized to waive any such defect. Defect Determined in Notice of Planning Board Hearing The Attorney General has de- termined that the planning board hearing notice relating to the above Articles failed to comply with the notice requirements for such hearing established by G.L. c. 40A, § 5. Section 5 provides in part (with emphasis added): No zoning…by-law or amend- ment thereto shall be adopted until after the planning board in a…town has…held a public hearing thereon…at which inter- ested persons shall be given an opportunity to be heard…. No- tice of the time and place of such hearing, of the subject mat- ter, sufficient for identification, and of the place where texts and maps thereof may be inspected shall be published in a newspa- per of general circulation in the…town once in each of two successive weeks, the first pub- lication to be not less than four- teen days before the day of said hearing, and by posting such no- tice in a conspicuous place in the…town hall for a period of not less than fourteen days before the day of said hearing. Notice of said hearing shall also be sent by mail, postage prepaid to the department of housing and com- munity development, the region- al planning agency, if any, and to the planning board of each abutting city and town…In cases involving boundary, density or use changes within a district, no- tice shall be sent to any such nonresident property owner who has filed such a request with the city or town clerk and whose property lies in the district where the change is sought.

Based on the materials submit- ted to this Office, we have identi- fied the following defects: The Planning Board hearing notice was not mailed to the Depart- ment of Housing and Com- munity Development or the Re- gional Planning Agency, as re- quired by G.L. c. 40A, § 5.
