and the filing of the written decision with the town clerk. The board is required to file its written decision within 14 days of making the decision and the 14 days has to occur within the 90 day time period. Some boards make and vote on the decision within
the context of the public hearing and close the hearing after the vote. Other boards close the public hearing and then deliberate and vote on a decisioni at a subsequent public meeting (not a public hearing). Either way, the 14 day clock starts from the date
of the vote on the decision.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">b) There are a number of court decisions that clarify what modifications a board may make in its decision after having made the decision. The most important distinction the courts
have noted is that a board may make clerical corrections at a subsequent public meeting. However, if the modification is substantive and changes the result of the original decision, then the only way for the board to modify the original decision is to go through
a new special permit process (public notice, notice to abutters, public hearing etc.). Is changing the number of units allowed by the decisions substantive? The town needs to answer that question.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">c) As for a constructive grant, there is a defined procedure that the applicant would have to go through in order to claim constructive grant, starting with filing such a claim
after the 90 days from the close of the hearing expire without a decision being filed with the town clerk. If this procedure is followed and the applicant receives a constructive grant certificate from the town clerk, the constructive grant is based on the
original plans submitted by the applicant. There would be no board review, no changes to those plans, and no conditions on those plans.<br clear="all">

on the calculation on how many units were allowed under the bylaw. The Board wanted to amend the approval and correct the number of units. (Which is allowed per MGL 40A Section 14). The Town obtained an opinion from Counsel that they may correct the decision,

take "final action" within 90 days from the date of the close of the public hearing. And the "14 days" shall be part of the 90 days but not beyond the 90 days. This seems to contradict what our counsel stated that "final action" was to take place 14 days
