About

The Development Review Board (DRB) conducts public hearings and renders decisions on development applications subject to the Town of Sheldon Development Regulations. The Development Review Board fulfills the statutory role of an “appropriate municipal panel” as defined by the State of Vermont’s Planning Statute in 24 VSA 117. The Board is comprised of seven residents appointed by the Selectboard.

If you would like to inquire about the status of an application or are interested in serving on the DRB, please contact the Zoning Administrator at (802) 933-2425 ext. 203, or zoning@sheldonvt.com.

Powers & Duties

The powers and duties of the Development Review Board are set forth in subchapter 10 of 24 V.S.A. 117; and in section 9.1 of the Sheldon Land Use and Development Regulations.

Please note: The public may not speak with a DRB member about the substantive content of a pending application outside of a hearing. Off-the-record or ex parte communications are prohibited because it is an opportunity for one party to influence a decision-maker outside the presence of other parties. When rights are at stake, this is a violation of due process, protected by the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
