At this stage of things, I'm going to disagree here. The Planning Board did a perfect job of specifying what was originally allowed and then followed up in their recommendation to the Building Commissioner that the modification, as suggested by the developer, not be approved. The Building Commissioner, working with the Town Council and with the support of the Town Manager and the Board of Selectmen, is going forward to implement the above decision. If there is a negotiation process involved, I am, so far, confident that the end result will be acceptable to the Town, the abutters, and least of all, to myself. The process under which this happened in the first place is in the process of being corrected: The new Building Code Enforcement Task Force will soon come into play and hopefully specify better procedures -- -Time flies like the wind.
