After public and Board comments, attorney Windholz informed the Board
that:
1) The Town has indicated that, while this routing process
includes EPURA review, the building permit can still be
issued.
2) Windholz met with Tov/n attorney Greg White and the Town
has taken the position that the east access is resolved.
The Town will take full responsibility for that
determination.
3) It is not EPURA's business whether therehas or has not
been compliance with Town codes. According to attorneys
White and Windholz, it is still the Town's responsibility
for building permits, enforcement of Town codes, etc.

been issued by the Town and, also, referred to attorney White s
letter giving his legal opinion on OutlotG, and, action taken y
