Other procedural actions
- Several solar applications were untabled, then re‑tabled or continued because applicants or agents were not present: 25DashA005 (59 Barnacle Road — tabled to next meeting), 25DashA006 (38 Mariners Lane — tabled), and 24DashA144 (859 West Yarmouth Road — tabled). Committee motions were made to untable and then to re‑table these items for a later meeting because applicants were absent.
- The committee approved minutes from the Dec. 9 meeting by voice vote.
Notes on voting and records: The transcript records voice votes (“Aye”) for approvals but does not consistently record individual member roll‑call names for each tally. Where amendments were agreed, the committee asked staff to record the specific changes in the decision text and to notify applicants of follow‑up submission requirements.
