Subject: FW: todays meeting summary
Dear Sean,
Jay and I reached out to Karen last week asking for a meeting with her prior to planning hearing to
review the as submitted plans, answer any question and make sure she had a clear understanding of the
revised design submitted to the town which resulted in a meeting today. I believe the outcome was
positive.
At today’s meeting We also agreed to a couple of additional concessions in addition to the planning
commission revisions that have been submitted to you already.
which are: reducing the sizes of the windows on the west side. We also reviewed and explained the size
of the windows on the south side which you will see in the below summary.
Please see below summary sent to attendees.
Kind Regards
Mark
