Do any of your Planning or Zoning Boards have a policy of refusing to hear applications from developers who have outstanding development issues? For example, a developer who applies for one project while he has outstanding issues on another (not building according to plan etc.) and not rectifying the problem after being warned by the town.
How about refusing to hear ZB applications from owners who are delinquent on taxes or have housing code violations?
As a more general question: How much does "builder reputation" come into play with land use decisions, and where is the ideal balance between common sense enforcement against bad builders and maintaining a fair playing field?
