of the public hearing as they just picked up their notice this date and did not have a chance to respond.  The notices were sent out on June 28th by the applicant, which is a fifteen-day notice.  Because it was generally felt by the board,  that this is a legally advertised hearing and notices were sent out in a timely manner, it is determined to be a legal hearing.  The Zennarios were contacted by phone by Planning Board member Dianne O'Neal; however, there were no specific issues that they could bring up for not approving the subdivision.  Mandy and Mary Jane believe that they were notified in the proper manner, they did not attend or did not respond and hearing should not be postponed for this reason. 

 

Dianne O'Neal asked about the section of land between the Fuchs property and County Route 6 and South Road.  Mandy explained that this section belongs to the County, who had a copy of the survey before the permit was issued for the driveway.  A motion was made to accept the maps showing proposed well, septic and house sites by Garret O'Connor, seconded by Dianne O'Neal.  All in favor.  So carried.
