Summary

The Zoning Board recorded several procedural and substantive outcomes: it continued the Habitat hearing to March 12 and approved a continuation for Fashion Food LLC (Wendy’s) to Feb. 26; a requested insubstantial change for Brookhill LLC failed.

At the start of the meeting the board voted to enter executive session (roll call recorded ayes) for a litigation matter involving 809 Sandwich Road and 0 Sandwich Road.

Fashion Food LLC (identified at the hearing as Wendy’s) asked for a continuation; the board moved and seconded the request and approved the continuation to February 26, with two abstentions recorded on the motion.

The board continued the significant Habitat for Humanity hearing on Benjamin Nye Lane to March 12 to permit additional peer-review and coordination with town departments.

Separately, a motion to treat Brookhill LLC’s request to add a single bathroom in a garage as an insubstantial change (conditioned on Board of Health approval if necessary) did not pass; the transcript records at least five board members voting ‘no’ and the board instructed staff to issue follow-up correspondence to the applicant and the building department.
