<p class="MsoNormal">Hi everyone, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m wondering if anyone may have an example to share of a decision that grants Site Plan Approval while denying a Special Permit? In Stow, this is typically a combined decision. The Planning Board would have good reason to deny the Special
Permit component, though with very few legitimate reasons for not granting Site Plan Approval this could be a tricky decision to draft. If any towns have an example of an SPA denial, that would be helpful as well.
