Henchy: You will be changing the use of the property. The Planning Board needs to have the information
kept up to date. Different uses have different impacts on the Town.
Barnard: The existing permit is for retail on the first floor and an apartment on the second.
Allard: Would like to see the Board recognize the first floor and the basement as retail.
Tubman: Motioned to continue the hearing until Mr. Allard could supply the certificate of compliance from the
Conservation Dept. and supply a letter from Building Dept. stating the issues were resolved. Second by
Barnard. All Aye.

McMullen: Motioned to endorse the plan. Seconded by Tubman.
All Aye. 5-0-0
Other Business:
1. Discussion regarding the job description for the Town Planner:
Henchy: Had spoken with Ms. Pierce and she requested a change to the job description that would add the
following language: "to help the Planning Board if requested".
Taylor: had no problem with the description as it stood
Barnard: felt the credentials needed to be tightened up - is this a technical job -what kind of experience is
required?
Henchy: what about the job description for the clerk? With the increased hours how will the time be broken
down and will there be enough time for both the Planner and the Board? Mr. Henchy asked the Board if they
were comfortable with him talking with the Town Administrator about these issues. All Board members were
ok with this approach.
McMullen: Motion to adjourn. Seconded by Tubman.
All Aye.
