On any lot bounded on more than one (1) side by such a way, the layout line that is to be the lot front shall be so designated in any application for a permit to build on such lot." or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by Planning Board Explanation: This article re aces the word "street" in the definition of front of line with terms referencing the layout of a public or private way because of the specifically limited definition of ".street" used in the zoning by-law, which could result in no clear method of determining a front October Town Meeting Warrant
