has developed some possible conditions for consideration by the Planning Board. Please note that there
are still on-going discussions with the Applicant related to the January 16, 2023 Memo from the
Engineering Department. The Applicant may be providing some minor revisions to address these changes
prior to the Hearing and some conditions may need to be modified or possibly eliminated.
The remaining issues with the Engineering Department have been resolved with the Applicant through the
