Motion passes unanimously at 9:02 pm Article 19 To see if the Town will vote to amend Chapter 172-5 of the General Bylaws as follows: Amend the language of subsection (A) (1) as follows: Replace the phrase "an Administrative Review Level I " with "a permit" Preface the existing language of Subsection (A) (2) with the following: "Any person filing a Notice of Intent application and/or a request for an Amended Order of Conditions with the Commission must, after being given written notice by the Commission of the time and date of the required hearing, notify all abutting property owners within 100 feet of the boundary of the property on which the work is proposed, according to the most recent records of the Assessors, including owners in another municipality", or take any other action relating thereto. Submitted by the Conservation Department Explanation: The Conservation Department no longer has an approval procedure called "Administrative Review Level 1 ". Replacing this phrase with "permit application" accurately reflects the current procedures. The existing language in Subsection (A)(2) must include this prefacing language as it is required under the Massachusetts Wetlands Protection Act (310 CMR 10.05(4)) and thus must be reflected in the local bylaw. 97
