SUBDIVISION AND WETLANDS APPLICATION FOR THE NEUMAN PROPERTY ON HILLANDALE ROAD: Mrs. Cynthia Watson, 20 Hillandale Road, came forward and told the Board that her property is adjacent to the proposed application to be discussed on June 25, 1996. She requested that the proposed application be held from the public hearing agenda until the Environmental Protection Agency issue is resolved. She explained that the stream running through 24 Hillandale is part of the E.P.A. clean-up. Attorney Powell said the Board's ultimate decision should consider all the various issues that will be raised regarding the subdivision. By law the applicant is entitled to a public hearing, but the Planning Board's recommendation does not dictate what the Board's ultimate decision will be. At this point, since the public hearing has been scheduled and the notices have been sent, the Board must proceed. Ms. Watson reported that the E.P.A. took nearly two years and spent approximately $4,000,000 on a clean-up, half of which was focused down-stream from the subject property. Trustee Strum restated the Board's situation. Since the clock has started in the public hearing process, the Board could keep the public hearing open until the E.P.A. completes its report assuming that it occurs within the 120-day time frame allowed to the Board by law. 2.
