There was a lengthy discussion between the board members and the public. The public had several concerns about storm water protection plan and a traffic impact statement, etc.. These issues were not within the jurisdiction of the Planning Board. Mike DeFillips raises concern about the overflow parking lot being only 50 feet from his property. He suggested they move the overflow parking lot down the road on the left hand side where there is a flat piece of level property.

adjourn the meeting till next month, July 5, 2016, to collect more information and work out details of operation of SUP. The vote was 6 ayes and 1 nay.
