Canale and Domnitz, had walked the site. Mr Domnitz recommended that the
Planning Board limit its review to subdivision issues and not speculate on
wetland issues that should be handled by the Conservation Commission.
Later in the meeting, after the Executive Session, Chairman Joyce Miller of
the Conservation Commission, was present and expressed concern about both the
Garfield street and Denver Street subdivision plans. It was agreed that the
Conservation Commission and the Planning Board should work together on these
subdivision plans particularly at the Preliminary Subdivision stage. It was
agreed that the applicants should stake out the edge of the wetlands and the
projected road alignment. It was also agreed to schedule a time when members
of the Conservation Commission and the Planning Board together can walk each
site. That should occur when a preliminary subdivision plan has been submit-
ted.
