Town Planner’s report:
Suh/ Lee, 31 Mill Street
Mr. Whitehead reported that although the Board approved a site plan for a house in July, 2007, it has transpired that the applicant did not obtain approval from the Conservation Commission in relation to wetlands (despite his agent making representations to the Planning Board about discussions on the matter). An application is now being made to the Conservation Commission and if the design needs to be changed, the matter may come before the Planning Board again.
