Summary

The petitioner for a special permit to operate an indoor place of amusement at 34 Front Street asked to withdraw the application without prejudice; the council approved the request, allowing the petitioner to refile later.

The Springfield City Council approved a request to allow withdrawal without prejudice of a special-permit application to operate an indoor place of amusement at 34 Front Street.

A motion to allow the petitioner to withdraw without prejudice was moved by Councilor Edwards and seconded by Councilor Allen. Councilor Edwards and Councilor Allen explained that withdrawal without prejudice would let the applicant return at a later date without being barred by a two-year filing limitation.

The council voted by roll call to permit the withdrawal. No public testimony was recorded on the item during the meeting.

Allowing withdrawal without prejudice means the petitioner may refile the same application in the future; the council did not deliberate the merits of the proposed use because the application was not heard on its substance.
