Responses to the proposal in addition to support are requested <br /> no later than September 6, 2002. <br /> The Selectmen agreed to refer the matter to the Board of Appeals and <br /> Zoning Board of Appeals for additional continent. <br /> Draft#I —October 7, 2002 Town Meeting Warrant: <br /> Draft#I of the October Town Meeting Warrant was presented to the <br /> Selectmen for initial review. The Town Planner and representatives of the <br /> Zoning Board of Appeals will be invited to attend the next scheduled <br /> Selectmen's Meeting for discussion of warrant articles applicable to their <br /> department. <br />
