                                                There seems to be a

                                                in your email, one of

                                                <p class="MsoNormal">a)
                                                  As Jeff noted, after
                                                  the close of the
                                                  public hearing the
                                                  board has ninety days
                                                  to take final action,
                                                  final action being the
                                                  making of the
                                                  decision, the vote on
                                                  the decision, 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.</p>

                                                <p class="MsoNormal">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

                                                  (public notice,
                                                  notice to abutters,

                                                  Is changing the number
                                                  of units allowed by
                                                  the
                                                  decisions substantive?

                                                  As for a constructive
                                                  grant, there is a
                                                  defined procedure that
                                                  the applicant would
                                                  have to go through in

                                                  without a
                                                  decision being filed
                                                  with the town clerk.
                                                  If this procedure is
                                                  followed and the
