At the start of the Nov. 18 meeting the Gardner Zoning Board of Appeals accepted a verbal same-day request to withdraw a variance application by NH Signs for property at 4 Oak Street.

Board Member (Speaker 2) moved to accept the applicant’s withdrawal "without prejudice." The board voted by voice and recorded the motion as approved.

Later in the meeting the board reviewed administrative business, including missing signatures and often-misfiled minutes from previous months; members agreed to reprint and finalize outstanding minutes. Near the end of the meeting, members thanked board member David Anthea for his service; Anthea said he had submitted his resignation to the mayor and intended December to be his final attendance. The board moved to adjourn and closed the meeting.

No further formal actions or conditions were recorded in the minutes beyond the withdrawal motion and administrative follow-up.
