Application was delivered to Land Preservation Department by real estate
broker, Enzo Morabito.
Discussion was held concerning property location, wetland area, its proximity to

to by Mr. Morabito was an issue. Consensus of the members was to pass on this
application at this time as the parcel is not necessarily suitable for open space or
farmland preservation.

application for open space preservation at this time. Motion carried 5/1 (Fred
Lee); Michelle Zaloom abstained.
