Orchard Card Company continued to May 28 as owner works payment plan with city
Summary
Orchard Card Company Inc. told the commission it is on a payment plan with the city and has made multiple payments; the commission continued the matter to May 28 so tax, special-permit and licensing issues can be resolved.
The commission continued an informational hearing for Orchard Card Company Inc., DBA Orchard Card Company Inc., at 421 Main Street in Indian Orchard to May 28 so the owner can provide documentation of a city payment plan and finalize any special-permit and licensing requirements.
Owner Edward Betso (transcribed as Edward) told the commission he is on a payment plan with Springfield Revenue Services and has made multiple payments, describing himself as "ahead of the payment plan." He told the commission the plan's final payment date is April 12, 2027, and he reported having paid partial amounts on multiple lots. Commission counsel and members reminded him that licensing cannot be completed until tax obligations and any special permits are resolved and that the city council handles special-permit scheduling.
"The payment plan is, saying, 04/12/2027, final payment," Betso said. Commission counsel asked Betso to bring payment-plan documentation and receipts to the license office; the commission gave Betso until May 28 to return with paperwork and to coordinate with the license office and, where needed, city council for special-permit scheduling.
Ending: The license office will work with the applicant and Revenue Services; the commission will review the applicant's documentation at the May 28 meeting.
