t Page 10. el. Hanson: 'r That' s a problem we are running. into'. who does get involved with them?" I was very much..in favor with the Board of Appeals - when we. discussed this bask quite a ways ago that the Board of Appeals should not have a preliminary nofficial hearing. If the guy-'wants to cone in and the guy - wants soim =answers , but h.e. doosn"t' want to have to go through the format, he just needs a couple of directions and -..the next thing that happens is that he goes in there and they tell hire something informal- ly and the next thing it is g spe.l' all of a sudden. when .you have a hearing you follow it there is no way around it, that' s. the way it" s got to be . Who is going to., direct the Appeals Board that this is how it is going to be. This is the problem e are having with the Appeals Board right now." Mr. woods : ." I bought this property subject to obtaining permits , when I got . the building. permit I assumed that' s all here was to it. Because they' told me I did not need- a special permit.

Terry: " Special. permits -are required for anything in this town, any use., Just look at the zoning by--laws ss' are everywhere. That i a special permit.

Mr. Woods :: Your losing sight of what or how this thing started and what should be resolved. They said I did not need a- special permit, r sel.. Terry: I understand that. But I don' t understand what exact-ly. the Board of Appeals position is on this and I 'm sort of 'in the dark, okay. " Mr. Woods : All of this October 14 letter, I mean your interpreting it the it the sane way I 'm interpreting it, it' s this Design Review Committee* sel.. Terry: Yea, okay, do you have any problem with that?" Mr. Woods : Lot me think. The Design review Committee slid not start until october, I 've been trying to get this permit since March. Do you have a problem trying to recognize that -And I don' t want to sound rude but I would like to get right to the point.
