Re: ZBA Decision 058 -11 — Glidden, Tr. — Typographical error
Dear Catherine,
Attached please find the corrected first page to ZBA Decision No. 058 -11. After recording said decision,
it was noticed that the Nantucket Tax Assessor's Map number was inadvertently transposed. The Map
number should read: 73.1.3, not 73.3.1.
This is a technical correction that will not restart the appeal period.
Sincerely,
John B. Brescher
