Jim Mullaney presented the Board with final plans for this subdivision. The Board is still concerned about the location of the driveway. The town was also concerned with the issue of encroachment brought up by Mr. Mullaney. The surveyor for Canterbury Manor states that he is unaware of the encroachment and did not survey to the point of finding out that fact. The town believes that the stone wall is the lot line and until proven different that is the line the town will use.
Motion was made to accept the subdivisions with the conditions of driveway permit and septic/subdivision approval.

All other issues were presented to the town engineer and have been updated.
The Board would request operating hours not go beyond 8:00pm
