This step states that the <br />Town Planner may make the draft decision available to the applicant and the public <br />for review. <br />RH asked if it was necessary to use the words "will" and "shall". <br />CR pointed out that he is not supposed to give out copies of the decision but rather copies <br />should be requested in person from the Town Clerk, <br />JS spoke highly of a document, authored by Professor of Law, Mark _Bobrowski,-that he <br />found helpful as an explanation of the site plan review process. He suggested adding it to <br />' the Town's website. CR said that he would try to provide a link to it. <br />\ \ Serverl \ elderser\ Schloth\ CPDC\ Final Minutes\2005\ Feb28_2005_FINAL.doc <br />
