Applicant will check this point with ZBA. • Tom Fudala pointed out that current laws apply unless shown property is grandfathered. • Just for the record, Tom Fudala noted that this property is subject to ongoing Cape Cod Commission and State review. • Glen Harrington commented that the property was inspected by Board of Health and right now there is overflow from cess pool system.
