Planning board approves special permit for A1 Drilling at 725 Quaker Highway
Summary
The planning board waived a full public hearing and granted a special permit allowing outdoor storage at 725 Quaker Highway for A1 Drilling; the applicant said the site stores drill parts and steel but no hazardous materials; the motion passed by voice vote.
The Town of Uxbridge Planning Board voted to waive a full public hearing and approve a special permit for outdoor storage for A1 Drilling at 725 Quaker Highway.
Brian, who participated remotely and who identified the site address as 725 Quaker Highway, told the board the location has a long history as a contractor yard and that the proposed use is consistent with past activity. He said the site stores drill parts and steel but does not keep explosives or hazardous materials on the premises: "We're storing, like, drill parts, drill steel, drill bits, nothing hazardous," he said.
Staff reported there had been no record of a prior special-permit procedure for outdoor storage at that parcel but noted the use historically existed on the site. After brief discussion, a board member moved and another seconded a motion to waive the public hearing and grant the special permit for outdoor storage; the board voted by voice, with members responding "Aye." The applicant thanked the board and left the meeting.
The approval is limited to the special permit for outdoor storage as presented; the board did not attach separate site-specific conditions in the hearing record beyond standard permit requirements. The board recorded no roll-call vote tally in the transcript; the outcome was a voice vote reported as 'Aye.'
