He asked about the discrepancy <br />between the gross floor area figures on building permit applications and the Assessor's database. Mr. <br />Garber explained that the building permit figures were estimates provided by the builder entirely for <br />purposes of estimating fees, and were not checked (this is how it has to be done, as a practical matter, in <br />every community). The Assessor's data is field- measured. Mr. Mehr asked how the town would verify the <br />GFA if article 20 had passed, Mr. Garber replied that a system would have to be worked out with the <br />Building Commissioner. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 8:00 pm for town meeting N <br />Sara B.
