The article also amends provisions of the by-law regarding <br /> appeals of Building Inspector violation decisions which were disapproved by the Attorney <br /> General in his decision on the wind power by-law as approved at the October 2007 Town <br /> Meeting. <br /> with <br /> -0 <br /> Motion made to dispense witn reading of article 12 passes at 8:52 PMI* <br /> The Board of Selectmen recommends approval by a vote of 5-0. <br /> The Finance Committee recommends approval by a vote of 7-�0. <br /> Planning Board voted at a Public Hearing held on April 16, 2008, 4-0 to recommend <br /> approval. <br /> Motion made by Selectman George Green: <br /> Motion.- I move Article 12 be voted as printed in the warrant, with the exception of the phrase, <br /> "or take any other action relating thereto". <br /> Motion passes unanimously at 8:53 PMO <br /> 21 <br />
