Revision action: - Explicitly reported the abstentions while noting the minutes' statement that the motion "carried." - Called out the apparent date inconsistency (Dec. 2, 2025) as present in the minutes and noted that follow-up with town staff is needed for clarification and full roll-call details. - Avoided using or repeating the ambiguous 'Chairman Andy Clark' fragment; used Jay Defoe as the board chairman per repeated references in the minutes. - Stated which items are not specified in the minutes (applicant name, staff report, detailed roll-call).
