Three public hearings were schecu._ed for this meeting but due to the absence
of members to make a full board, the hearings had to be postponed.
Mm. Charles Hatch, appearing for Mr. Lawrence Stahley, one of the petitiners
asked if he could please explain his client's case to the memoers present.
The members agreed.
Mr. Hatch explained that although the land in question had never been
recorded, there had been conveyances as late as 1954. Mr. &Mrs. Stahley
now wished to purchase two lots and entered into agreement on April 2nd
and the new amendment to the by-laws was paseed by the Board on April 27th.
Therefore, the Stahleys are caught in the middled.
The Board informed Mr. Hatch andMr. Stahley this case would have to be
reviewd after a public hearing which would be held on August 25th at the
expense of the Board.
The meeting adjourned at 9 :O0 p.m.

transfer. Mr. Hatch told him they could not draw this up as there were unrecorded.
