<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt">For projects in your towns that require
<b>BOTH</b> a Special Permit <i>AND</i> Site Plan approval, how many of you have just
<b>ONE</b> board (PB or ZBA) issue both permits at the same time?<u></u><u></u></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14pt">Right now in Sterling, a new business requiring both approvals often spend months with the ZBA getting their Special Permit, then another few months getting Site Plan approval from the Planning Board. I’m
trying to talk my boards into having one or the other issue both approvals.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
