submittal to the Planning Board. (See Attachment 3c.)
A formal application shall be submitted using
the form available from the Planning Office (Attachment 1), and shall be accompanied by:
A. A letter of intent detailing the proposal;

of the Americans with Disabilities Act signed by an architect or engineer.
