Bill w <br /> volunteered to serve as committee liaison with Planning for this purpose. Since we do <br /> not have much expertise or experience in plan preview, Richard and Charlie suggested Bill <br /> (or other members) also discuss plans with Building Department to get their insights. <br /> Richard and Charlie also provided anecdotal evidence of how the builders and developers <br /> x <br /> try to "slip things b "at various stages of the project. However, all departments are <br /> resolved to see that violations are corrected whether they have permits or not. <br /> Torn also suggested we review zoning by-laws to see if any changes may be necessary to } <br /> better address ADA issues. If so,he indicated a continued willingness to assist with <br /> drafting any articles necessary. <br /> The Massachusetts Office on Disabilities(NIDD) is conducting a training program for r <br /> Community Access Monitors in Harwich in October. This training is designed to provide <br /> local officials the tools necessary to assess and advise regarding access of all types in <br /> their community. This training should provide us the necessary knowledge to provide <br /> more comprehensive and efficient assessment of access in existing and proposed projects. t <br /> } <br /> Y <br /> S' <br /> } <br /> 'J <br />
