Next on our agenda are the Preliminary drawings for the Riding Academy on 16 Berry Street. McIntyre
wanted it to be known that they have not officially filed this 40B project at the Zoning Board of Appeals
Department yet.
McIntyre went on to say that in all the years that she has been doing 4013's she has never entertained
discussing a 40B without it being officially filed.
McIntyre felt that it should not have been put on the agenda at this point, since it is just preliminary
drawings.
Two members of the audience asked to speak regarding 16 Berry Street.
Pat Lavery, of 259 Campbell Road asked the Board why it got on the agenda. McIntyre explained to
Lavery the difference between a Discussion and Public Hearing and it is up to her discretion if it should
be discussed, but since it is only a preliminary there is nothing to discuss. McIntyre stated that once it
gets submitted officially to the Zoning Board it will be different and the public can make comments.
Gene Sullivan, of 28 Stonewedge Circle walked up to the podium and asked if this Board had plans to
make comments to the Board of Selectman regarding the 40B project. McIntyre responded not yet, since
it has not been officially submitted to the Board.
