ACTION ITEMS:
· Decision - SP2008-05 MCGI Site Plan Extension
Mr. Themelis read the letter from Attorney Bennett. The letter was requesting to add two additional conditions to the decision. Attorney Bennett stated that the two additional conditions were more for the protection of the town to insure compliance with DEP and to continue the previous conditions from the earlier decisions.
Mr. Themelis then read the testimony, findings and conditions of the decision, including the two additional conditions. An error in condition #8 that still included the word Special before Permit was found. This error was corrected and a new document was made available to the Board.
Mr. Themelis made a motion to grant a two year extension of the Permit SP2005-03. Mr. Kane seconded the motion. Mr. Marston voted nay. All others voted Aye.
· Scotch Pine Farm
The Board reviewed a sketch plan from Mike Blood, owner of Scotch Pine Farm, showing parking locations at his restaurant business. Mr. Blood is proposing to add an additional seasonal business, using a large tent for outdoor functions at the farm. He wanted the Planning Board to determine whether he would need a permit from them for this business proposal. The Board determined that he indeed had adequate parking for an additional business but that the use of the large tent for functions of up to 150 people warrants a minor site plan review to insure public safety and compliance with other zoning. Mr. Blood will be informed that this will be required once he receives approval from the Board of Appeals to extend his non-conforming use.
· SP2000-04 Common Driveway As-builts 118-120 Heald Street
The Board was told that certificate of compliance had been issued to Mr. Bisson for the work done at 120 Heald Street. The Board agreed that the as-builts could now be accepted. The Board voted unanimously to accept the final as-builts for the common driveway.
