Planning Board Business:
T. Austin informed the PB that there were a number of signs along ST HWY 28 that did not have permits and that he would be asking for the compliance of the property owners prior to taking formal enforcement action. The PB concurred and asked T. Austin to work with Mr. Sallinger, regarding the ‘Jamaican Dreams' farm stand at the P&C intersection-it's unsafe and not in compliance with the approved Site Plan for that property; T. Austin stated he would do so.
