CONSERVATION COMMISSION CONCERN Mr. Friel informed the Board that the Conservation Commission was notified of work done by the DPW on Sherman Street at the location of the Hellenic Nursing Home that has caused concern. The Con Com states that the work done by the DPW was not performed in the specific area previously agreed to nor consistent with a much narrower scope. There was very limited communication between the DPW and the Con Com.

These requests may be presented to the Board on either February 1ih or February 19th.
