The applicant would refile at a later date and new postcards would be sent to abutters. Mr. Zurlo joined the meeting in progress. 11 Lisbeth Street, Street Determination: Marissa Gray, attorney was present for the applicant. This application was reviewed and brought to town staff in June 2012. The house was located on a private way, but was not supposed to trigger the 50% demolition standard requiring Planning Board review for a street determination. In the end the structure required being torn down and reconstructed and when a Certificate of Occupancy was requested it was brought to planning staff for a street determination. The applicant believed the street was of adequate grade and construction. The closing for this property was scheduled for the end of October and time was of the essence in this matter. Board Comments:  The grade and width of the street were adequate, but some of the pavement was failing across the frontage of the house.  Lisbeth Street should be crack sealed for a distance of 125 Feet from the Lisbeth Street and Clelland Road intersection towards Massachusetts Avenue and the two areas of pavement at the top of Lisbeth Street should be cut out and replaced. This would need to be coordinated with and inspected by the Town Engineering Division.  The Board would waive strict compliance with the following provisions of the Planning Board’s Development Regulations and would grant the waivers for 175-68C(3)(a), Submission of a Definitive Street Construction Plan, 175-68E, Design Standards, and
