10. Public Discussion
Margot Jellinek pointed out that Compo has been in town for approximately
30 years, and they are in violation with the Federal and State. She sug-
gested the Planning Board look through the Board of Health's minutes since
there are pages which describe how Compo is in violation with codes. She
also said that if Compo stays in the Industrial Zone, the Planning Board
has no control, and a site plan would not be required.
Chairman Seifert informed/reminded the board members that they have to
review the applications for Planning Director and pick their top five
candidates. The top three candidates will get interviewed by Chadwick.
Interviewing may start after all board member's selections are submitted.
