Lennox reports 253 permits to date; commercial permit value reported higher than last year
Summary
Town staff reported 253 permits as of Monday, including 46 residential permits and 27 new-construction homes; commercial permit activity and reported permit values were cited as substantially higher than the prior year.
Speaker 3 briefed commissioners on recent permit activity, reporting: "We're at 253 permits as of Monday." Speaker 3 said 46 of those permits were residential and that the total included 27 new-construction homes (counting townhomes and twin homes). Speaker 3 also said there were seven commercial permits, and noted an eighth with the addition of a new fireworks stand.
Speaker 3 provided permit-value figures as reported to the commission: commercial permits were described in the transcript as "a little over 22,600,000.0," and residential permits as "8.9, almost 9,000,000." By comparison, Speaker 3 said that at the same time last year there were six commercial permits at about "227,000" and 116 residential permits totaling "not quite 5,700,000.0." The commission discussed lot counts and potential build-out, with participants indicating the overall development plan envisioned about 150 total units.
Commissioners greeted the update as positive growth compared with the prior year. No zoning changes or permit actions were taken at this meeting; the information was for oversight and planning. Speaker 1 and others asked staff to continue tracking permits and to prepare background materials for the January Main Street discussion.
Note on transcript figures: dollar amounts are reported verbatim as spoken in the meeting. The commercial total appears in the transcript as "22,600,000.0" and was presented conversationally; the commission did not provide a written docket or invoice in the meeting record to reconcile formatting or currency notation.
