Presenting the application was Ms. Colabattista’s daughter in law, Lynn Webster, who is an architect. Also present was Ms. Colabattista.
Miss Webster reviewed a site plan with the Board.
There were no abutters present nor correspondence received.

ND seconded the motion and the Board voted 5-0 to agree. RF pointed out that under Section 7.2.4 prior to the issuance of the Special Permit owner must submit an affidavit that the home will be continued to be occupied by the owner.
Respectfully submitted,
Peggy Ammendola
