Relative to the Construction Design Standards section we have observed what appear to be a substantial number of engineering inconsistencies which make us seriously question adoption of this particular body within the ordinance. It is our considered opinion that the Town may be exposing itself _. to a significant liability question by practicing professional engineering without the benefit of a registered professional engineer. We sincerely suggest Council further consider this particular segment of the ordinance before final adoption. Respectfully Submitted, . David Green, Zoning Chairman -.

The number of modifications and changes from the exis- ting subdivision regulations are substantive, and will have a critical effect on the total real estate and construction industry in our community.
