<br /> 9:22 p.m. The Moderator explained that the Planning Board had noted a small error in the
<br /> published motion, which it wished to correct. It was in Section 2, where a "2" had been inserted.

<br /> motion was shown for members to refer to, and the correction was considered as the main
<br /> motion. There were no objections.
