Moldoff, AICP, Planning Director (American Institute of Certified Planners) Maureen Sullivan, Administrative Secretary To provide timely, professional, customer-oriented administration of the Town's land use and planning laws and to coordinate long-range planning services for the community. The Town of Salem's Planning Division consists of Planning Director Ross Moldoff and Administrative Secretary Maureen Sullivan. Our primary responsibility is administering the Town's land use controls, including subdivision and site plan regulations. This involves extensive dealings with the public, reviewing plans and proposals, signing permits, inspecting sites, and working with other Town staff, consultants, and applicants. We arrange Planning Board and Conservation Commission meetings throughout the year, and serve as staff to these citizen volunteers. Given Salem's population and development activity, the volume of this administrative work takes up most of our available time. Our other major responsibility is long-range planning for the community. This involves updating and implementing the Town's Master Plan, proposing new regulations to control land development, preparing planning studies and working on a variety of miscellaneous projects for the betterment of the Town. We are the Planning Board, not the Wait-And-See-What-Happens Board! ~ John Lukens (former Planning Board Chairman) Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. ~ Margaret Mead A good plan executed right now is far better than a perfect plan executed next week. ~ George S. Patton Growth is inevitable and desirable, but destruction of community character is not. The question is not whether your part of the world is going to change. The question is how. ~ Edward T. McMahon, The Conservation Fund
