He told Ms. McAdams that she <br />would have to submit a plan showing the exact location of the proposed fencing and yard <br />run. Mr. Furbush asked how many parking spaces are provided. Mr. Nelson said that the <br />owner already has a Special Permit that calls for compliance with the required number of <br />parking spaces.

Mr. Nelson explained that the Board granted six- <br />month Extensions of the Variances earlier during the meeting. In 2009, the Board had <br />granted relief of 4 feet from the height variance for the Petitions. <br />Ms. McDonald asked why only one neighbor on her road received notice of the public <br />hearings. Mr. Furbush said that only abutters within 300 feet get notification in the mail. <br />He said that is why notice is also published in the newspaper two consecutive weeks in a <br />row and not less than 14 days in advance of the hearings. Ms. McDonald said that she <br />saw the notice as published in the paper. She repeated her question of why she didn't <br />receive notice in the mail.
