10. Announcements/Open Discussion/Comments:
Didn’t NEWNC and NEWRA vote against this in September or October? Has he changed anything? There used to be a NEWNC rule that someone could not come back for 6 months (or 12 I forget which one) if they were voted down and they had to address the objections of the council and their abutters.
.
Yes, Joyce! This property was on our agenda in October and we do have a year long moratorium on hearing a proposal again. However, this proposal is sufficiently different from what was proposed and presented to NEWNC in October in both the number of units and the operation of trash. Changes made were in response to the concerns of the Council regarding density (less units) and trash (trash room added), so we would like to hear it again to determine if NEWNC if this new proposal warrants NEWNC support.
Thanks Philip
