restrict hours, prohibit 24 hour operations

Williams - the issue comes in with delivery of goods in the off hours, our hands are tied

Padula - how much time will it take to implement?

Padula - get involved with your school, make us proud make your parents proud

Cerel - I have worked hard behind the scenes to work on the decisions
They have had a history of confusing the closing of a hearing with voting on a project without due deliberation, the Planning Board has not hard experience with this type of project, I don't know of the developer has had experience with this type of project. The projects he show cased he did not develop. The project has been re-designed with input of the Town.
