Planning board reviews Congdon’s Donuts submission; no public hearing scheduled in transcript
Summary
The Planning Board began review of a Congdon’s Donuts submission, noted a recusal by a member named Steve, and heard staff comments about sidewalk and Route 1 determinations; the transcript records no formal vote to require a public hearing.
The Town of Wells Planning Board opened an agenda item on Congdon’s Donuts on Feb. 9 and noted that a board member named Steve recused himself from the matter. The board confirmed it would use materials in the second submission packet (dated Feb. 6) for review.
Staff reported they had received updated materials and identified outstanding notes and coverage that still needed to be addressed. Staff said some determinations — including sidewalk and Route 1 area issues — remain to be clarified and offered the option of scheduling a public hearing or making determinations at the meeting. Staff also said they had not received the same level of notice or emailed comments on the current amendment that had accompanied an earlier amendment.
A board member said a public hearing was not necessary, noting the business has been at the location “five or six years” and that nearby residential development is limited; the transcript does not record a formal motion or vote to waive a hearing. The applicant was addressed as Krishnam during the discussion; no formal action to approve or deny the submission was recorded in the transcript.
The transcript records that staff will continue to work with the applicant to resolve the outstanding items; no deadlines or permit decisions are recorded for Congdon’s Donuts in the Feb. 9 minutes.
