Sitting: James Regan, Robert Nelson and Edward Govoni. Jared West represents himself at this hearing. He is before the board again to seely Special Permit for his in-lav apartment. The Board denied him a special permit previously because Mr. Brem felt he himself misinterpreted the lav on this matter. Again, John Casey, an abutter opposes this natter if it is used as a rental outside of a family member. He asks the board how they enforce this matter—obviously the Board cannot make site visits to see who is living there. There has been a draft of new language for what constitutes ars "in-law"' apartment. The use of the word in-law will have to go by the wayside and"accessory structure' must be used instead, Linda Casey an abutter as well as Irving Lewis, of 7 Cutlass Lane, would like an explanation of the specifics of the by-laws. Mr. Regan informs them that if they are this passionate about the special permit by-laves they need to get themselves on the warrant and try to change things through the Ton Meeting. The Board can only work with the by-laves they have before them at present. The Board moves to grant the Special Permit to Ir. West. The motion is seconded. All agree, So moved.
