Finney family cemetery special-permit hearing continued to Nov. 17 after applicant says professional drawings incomplete

The Land Use/Development Committee continued the public hearing on a special-permit application from Alan Finney to create the Finney Family Cemetery at 2 Finney Road until Nov. 17 at 6:30 p.m. The applicant informed the committee that professional site drawings required for the public hearing are not yet complete.

Committee members said they had received communications explaining that the Finney family is preparing professional drawings and that the family intends to return when those drawings are finished. No members of the public were present to speak for or against the application at the hearing.

Council members discussed possible dates and settled on Nov. 17 as the date certain. The motion to continue the public hearing carried on a voice vote. Committee staff advised that notices and the completed drawings will be required in advance of the continued hearing so the record is complete when the matter returns.

This continuance is procedural: the committee did not reach a decision on the merits at this meeting and will consider the complete application at the Nov. 17 session.
