All interested persons will be given the opportunity to be heard either in person or in writing . By Order of the Planning Board Carol W . Sczepanski, Town Clerk Published : July 13 , 2000 " Susan Beeners said that her recommendation is, that based on the hypothetical map presented for sketch plan review that she requests the Board to consider it generally meeting the criteria of a clustered subdivision. Members of the Public : Sarah Hollyday - 58 Bald Hill Road - asked Susan to clarify what she had just stated relating to cluster subdivision. Susan Beeners explained to the public that there is a mechanism in the subdivision regulations where you can show hypothetically that you might be able to divide the land into the conventional form of 150' or 250' minimum frontage . That establishes how many lots you might be able to place on that property . That permits the Planning Board to consider approving an alternative plat where the frontage might be less than 150' . 8 Debbie Benson - 58 Bald Hill Road - was confused by the hypothetical map as it is not the issue on the table tonight .
