Robert Sherrn, Conservation Agent, was present also. 7:00 FIELM POINT LIMITED TE P Pre-application conference for Whitings/ Quashnet. Doug Storrs representing Fields Point. They are attempting to have the OSID bylaw work toward a single family project also. Plans were reviewed. The property line goes to the center of the river.
