Review of Minutes: The Board reviewed the minutes for the meeting of August 14, 1989.

Planning Director: a. Revised Schedule for Processing Subdivisions: The Board discussed a proposed schedule of Planning Board meetings through February, 1990, calling for approximately three meetings per month; two dealing with land regulation matters, and the third meeting devoted to planning matters. Also discussed was a draft standard report form for the processing of subdivisions, RD or CD developments, that would track required Planning Board actions, and would establish a date for an early substantive and conceptual review by the Planning Board about mid-way into the 90 day review period, and if everything appears to be on track, including input from the Engineering Department, a hearing date can be set. If it appears, as a result of the substantive review, that there are fundamental problems with the application, the applicant can be informed and provided with an opportunity to request an extension of time for action by the Board to correct any problems with the submission. b. Montessori School: In response to a question from the Chairman, Mr. Bowyer reported that, as per the last meeting when the Board expressed willingness to meet with the applicant if they wished to make a presen- tation to the Board, he had talked with a Montesorri representative a few days later. The representative thought a September meeting would be moot, since it was anticipated that they would have filed for a building permit by that time. PLANS NOT REQUIRING APPROVAL UNDER THE SUBDIVISION CONTROL LAW 211. Form A/89-7. Orchard Crossing Subdivision. Kirksev: The Board reviewed a plan changing the type and number of dwelling units at the end of Orchard Crossing Lane, from eight dwelling units contained in four buildings on a single lot, as shown on the approved definitive subdivision plan and as granted in the special permit with site plan review, into four building lots, containing four single family dwelling units, that conform to the frontage and lot area require- ments of the zoning district. The Board discussed whether this plan could be endorsed as not requiring approval under the Subdivision Control Law.
