Planning Board approves one-day tent permit at 140 Causeway Street with 11 p.m. noise/time restriction
Summary
The board granted a special permit for a 30-by-70-foot tent for a private birthday event at 140 Causeway Street, conditioned on event hours and that police and fire have been notified; the board limited amplified/late activity to finish by 11 p.m.
The Town of Millis Planning Board on July 8 approved a special permit for a temporary 30-by-70-foot tent at 140 Causeway Street for a private birthday celebration, with a condition that the event end no later than 11 p.m.
The application filed with the Town listed the applicant as Eva Tina and the property owner as Jen Soretsky of Wendy Knob Farm LLC. The board confirmed that the fire and police departments had been notified; no written comments from those departments were reported at the meeting. The applicant told the board the event would begin at 4 p.m. and the applicant expected activity to end by 10 p.m.; board members agreed to an 11 p.m. cutoff to accommodate setup and teardown, and placed that time limit as a permit condition.
The applicant said music will include a 45-minute performance by family friends described as mariachis. A planning board member said that abutters had been mailed notice; the applicant said she had used the assessor's abutters list and that the property owner had already coordinated site maintenance and mowing.
The board closed the public hearing and voted to approve the special permit for the tent with the time restriction. No additional operational conditions were recorded beyond the end-time restriction and the requirement that event details be shown on the site plan if a sign or other fixtures are proposed.
