future Perfecto's site was almost completed today by 4:00 PM. Mr. Redfern said the Applicants
were granted by the Board a partial demolition and it appeared it was now a total demolition and
he thought the Applicants might have to come back before the board again.
Mr. Traniello also said that Atria Senior Housing is coming before the board again and that the
Town is trying to reach affordable housing through a monetary payment from Artis in lieu of six
units of affordable housing. He also said Artis must go before CPDC before they return to the
