Chairman John Jarema and Carol Scott were also in attendance for this portion of the meeting. Chairman Jarema opened the meeting at 7:30 PM stating he had spoken to Town Councel regarding designating another individual as agent for the ZBA. Town Councel found this acceptable as long as duties did not conflict with the zoning administrator, or building inspector. Discussion by Mr. Jarema and Catherine Quimby then continued regarding whether there was a need for an agent in this issue. The Board then moved on to discuss the pre-construction conditions drafted for inclusion in the Special Permit. These issues were discussed by the Board and edited for final draft to be discussed with Town Councel. The Board then moved on to discuss the construction-phase conditions. Mr. Latham, Councel for the Petitioner, then requested copies of the draft be distributed to the attendees to enable them to better understand what was being discussed. Mr. Jarema granted this request, and the meeting then continued. After much discussion on the construction phase of the project between the Board and the Petitioner, the meeting moved on to discuss post-construction issues.
