Commission schedules new auto‑repair hearings, notes past due report and elects officers
Summary
The commission scheduled public hearings for two new motor‑vehicle repair/service applications for March 9, 2026, noted a past‑due annual report for an existing earth‑materials special permit, and approved a slate of officers by voice vote.
During the meeting the commission handled several procedural items: it scheduled public hearings for newly received applications 2552 and 2553 (motor vehicle repair/service at 16 Andrew Street) for the March 9, 2026 meeting to allow applicants time to respond to site plan comments and variance needs. Staff noted deficiencies in the submissions and advised applicants to address mapping, narrative and site‑plan items.
Under old business the commission noted that the annual report required for special permit 2507 (Willow Materials, LLC) is past due; staff reported receipt of a letter stating a new surveyor has been retained and that the overdue report is expected next month. Commissioners discussed potential enforcement steps, including calling the bond for nonperformance if the report is not submitted.
The commission then approved a slate of officers — the chair was nominated to continue as chair, Rich Goodwin was nominated as vice chair and John LaFenier as secretary — by voice vote. Staff also added the zoning enforcement officer’s report to the agenda; 'Pete' reported an increase in blight complaints and updated the commission on recent enforcement actions.
The meeting adjourned after these items.
