At the Aug. 19 meeting the Governor's Board of Appeals accepted a written withdrawal from Sean Keane, 14 Temple Street, for a variance request related to driveway length and paving. The application was withdrawn because Keane’s contractor plans to obtain a paving permit and bring the driveway into conformance; the board accepted the withdrawal “without prejudice.”

The petitioner’s written notice said the variance was “no longer necessary and leaving the portion of the driveway beyond the standard 24 foot length of gravel,” and that “the company doing the paving will be pulling the permit for this paving in the coming months.” The board voted to accept the withdrawal without prejudice; the transcript records an aye vote and the chair closed that brief item.

There was no further discussion recorded and no conditions attached to the withdrawal.

Because the item was withdrawn without prejudice, the applicant retains the option to refile in the future if needed.
