Planning board approves elective ultrasound studio at 86–90 North Street after licensing amendment
Summary
The board approved a special use permit and site plan for an elective 2D/3D/4D/HD ultrasound studio proposed by Tasha Crump at 86–90 North Street, and the resolution was amended to require operator licensing and training.
Tasha Crump received planning board approval July 4 to operate an elective ultrasound studio at 86–90 North Street in Middletown after the board amended the resolution to require that anyone operating ultrasound equipment hold the necessary license and training.
Crump told the board she plans to offer 2D, 3D, 4D and HD live ultrasound imagery for parents and families and sell related memorabilia. Planning staff and inspector Sixto (staff) and Building and fire inspector Michael Guattari said they conducted a site visit and had no outstanding issues.
Board member Mister Brito asked for more detailed interior site plans, such as locations and counts of machines or rooms. Staff replied the space is a typical small office building with minimal interior reconfiguration and that staff (Sixto and planning) were satisfied with current documentation; the board reserved the right to request more detail if needed.
Before the approval vote, the board moved to amend the resolution to add the requirement that the applicant confirm she and any staff have required licensing and training to operate ultrasound equipment; the amendment carried and the amended resolution was approved. Roll-call votes recorded in the transcript show: Mister Madden — yes; Mister Brito — yes; Miss Houston — yes; Mister Higbee — yes.
Planning staff noted that if the nonprofit (mentioned in another application) or other uses locate offices at the same site, additional review may be required for an expanded use.
