Turnburry Hill. Otis Brown: The Board discussed a letter from Mr. Brown asking that the Board waive a requirement of the Special Permit and Certifi- J cate of Action so that the Building Commissioner can issue occupancy permits for two of the dwelling units in the development. Prior commitments of two residents will force them to move out of their present residences before the requirements of Item 12 under General Conditions of the Certificate of Action have been met, allowing them to move into their homes in Turnburry Hill. The Board was unsure whether or not a formal amendment to the subdivision plan and a public hearing would be required to waive Item 12 of the General Conditions.
