Bolton PZC sets July 8 hearing for Happy Town LLC nursery and value‑added agricultural permit

The Bolton Planning & Zoning Commission received a Special Permit application from Happy Town LLC for a nursery and value‑added agricultural business at 1225 Boston Turnpike and set a public hearing for 7:45 p.m. on Wednesday, July 8, 2020 via Zoom. Attorney Stephen Penny represented the applicant during the meeting.

The application was declared complete by staff. Patrice Carson, Consulting Director of Community Development, asked that the application reflect the correct owner (Happy Town, LLC, signed by Andrew Ladyga), and she requested the narrative describe precisely what processing would occur on site, what equipment would be used and where processing would be located on the property. Carson also noted the Town Engineer, the Inland Wetlands agent and the Health District had not yet submitted comments.

Commissioner Thomas Manning moved to receive the application and set the public hearing; Christopher Davey seconded. The Commission voted 7‑0‑0 to set the hearing. The motion as recorded reads: “T. Manning moved to receive the application and set the public hearing for #PL‑20‑8 Special Permit Application for Nursery and Value Added Agricultural Business, 1225 Boston Turnpike, Happy Town LLC for 7:45 p.m. on Wednesday, July 8, 2020 via Zoom.”

The hearing will provide an opportunity for abutters, agencies and the public to review the site plan and the narrative about processing. Staff will upload agency comments to the record when they arrive; once comments are available the Commission will consider them as part of the public hearing record.
