Abutter update — during the July meeting, members asked how an abutter is defined/determined. After follow up with the Town manager and Town Cousel, the following was confirmed: "Well there's no straight answer, but the usual answer is that it's property that either directly abuts a parcel or is adjacent across a street from the parcel. For some legal reasons (some liquor licensing, zoning etc.) it's extended further. The answer usually comes from some source of law. For zoning, it's technically an adjoining property or an adjoining property to an adjoining property within 300 feet.
