Mr. Tire responded that Old Barnstable Road needed to be re-surveyed, with unproved weather, and recommended a condition requiring completion of the survey and consultation with the Town Engineer prior to issuance of the building permit. Mr. Tye confirmed that an exhaustive water quality report had been submitted,though there was-question whether the wells would be rewired as the developed area would be just 5 acres. 11r.
