"We don't want to aggravate the town," said Thomas Sadin, who resigned from his position on the Planning Board during Wednesday's meeting. "If there had been a low turnout at the vote last week, it might have been a whole different story. But, a significant portion of the town showed up and we have to take that seriously."
