What order do the boards go in?

First the Building Department approves or denies. A denial letter sends the job to the Zoning Board. Next comes Planning Board site plan review, then the Architectural Review Board, depending on the size of the project. Final plans go back to the Building Department. Subdivisions go to the Planning Board first.
