"IC Overlay District" approved under Article 27 of the October 1999 Annual Town p Meeting to become subsection 174-5.E. 4. An article submitted by the Board of Selectmen renumbering Subsection 174-79.B(7) of the Groundwater Protection District by-law to become Subsection 174-79.B(5). i 5. An article submitted by the Planning Board which would create authority for special permit modifications. Minor site plan changes could be done at a public meeting but without advertisement of a public hearing. More significant site plan changes, or changes to the text of the permit decision would require an advertised public hearing with notice to all abutters within 300 feet and full conformance with all special permit approval requirements. For changes involving an increase of 10% or less in building �•�` area or the area of land occupied by a particular type of use, the old zoning applicable to the property when the original permit was approved would continue to apply. For any larger change, currently applicable zoning standards would have to be met. No increase in the number of permitted dwelling units or in the rate of development could be allowed. It would also become possible for additional land to be included in a special permit, provided that currently applicable zoning would govern any development on the added land area, and to split a project between sections that would remain unchanged under the provisions of the zoning applicable at the time the special permit was issued, and sections that could be extensively modified under currently applicable zoning.
