The Planning Board stated its concerns regarding the plan as follows: protection of the green belt easement; significant change in unit mix; and the question of whether the degree of change from the 1974 plan should be deemed "significant". The proponents responded to questions from the members and others in attendance regarding the abovementioned and explained reasons for the changes. Proponents stated site difficulties required relocating the clusters and thus intruding on the greenbelt; economic viability was the reason for changing the mix of unit types. The Planning Board will report to the B/A on the plans prior to the forth- coming hearing on December 30, 1976.
