Chairman Faiman stated that two requests had been received by the Board for rehearings. (See file). One was from the applicant, the other from an abutter who was not notified of the original hearing. He explained that it would be up to the Board to decide whether a hearing could be considered legal when the applicant excluded an abutter and the application for a Special Exception was denied.
Mr. Mitchell stated that it seemed unfair to throw out all the previously heard evidence and call the meeting illegal when the Board had assumed, when making its decision, that abutters who were not present had no objection to the project being discussed.
Mr. Klein agreed with Mr. Mitchell.
Mr. Parker stated that in the past, if an abutter was excluded, a rehearing was held.
Mr. Mitchell suggested holding a rehearing to consider new evidence, which in this case would he an abutter, and not throwing out the previously heard evidence. Mr. Parker stated that a technical error was made and it would seem proper that the Board should hold a rehearing because of this error.
The Board discussed who would bear the cost of a rehearing in this case, since the applicant made the error.
| MOTION: | Mr. Parker moved to hold a rehearing due to a technical error which was committed by Mr. Crosby in that he did not present a correct abutter list. Mr. Crosby will pay the costs incurred in renoticing the rehearing, including filing and abutter notification fees. The motion was seconded by Mr. Tuttle and all voted in favor. |

The Board clarified that this rehearing would constitute a continuation of the previous hearing and all evidence thus far presented would be carried forward and considered at the rehearing.
