So, they endorsed the plans without the owner having satisfied all conditions for endorsement?

I would agree - go through the same procedures as an original application: notices to abutters and owners, publication, and hearing.

Thank you

I would recommend a CYA approach and hold the hearing. Leave nothing to chance.

Sorry, I should've clarified.  The Plan was never recorded and is not on record.  Its been 7 years, no covenant/surety, but I have a set of endorsed mylars upstairs that were never provided to the owner because of conditions to be done prior to endorsement.

Still need a public hearing?

Planners,

Does the Planning Board have to hold a public hearing to rescind a defunct subdivision?
