Vice Chair Jameson opened the public hearing upon the application.
Mr. Paveglio and Douglas & Kate Hall, of Lane Road, were present.

Other Business:
There was discussion regarding signage on Route 4. Two letters were presented that are to be sent to the owners of Lugg Plaza and Bobcat of NH regarding the signage upon their property. Both letters were approved for submission, and shall be signed by the Chairman of the Board.
There was related discussion about the pallets of wood pellets at Tractor Supply as well as enforcement of the sign and lighting ordinances.
