Zoning board authorizes chair to sign draft decision for MC3 Ventures
Summary
The Goshen Zoning Board of Appeals conditionally authorized the chair to sign a draft decision for MC3 Ventures so long as there are no material changes; staff said the decision would not hold up the planning-board process.
The Goshen Zoning Board of Appeals voted June 2 to authorize the chair to sign a draft decision in the matter of MC3 Ventures, provided the document contains no material changes when the chair signs.
Board members discussed whether executing the draft decision would delay the applicant’s pending review at the planning board. Staff (Grace) said there were no known time-sensitive implications and that the planning-board agenda was already set; members agreed they did not want to hold the applicant up. The motion was structured as a conditional authorization: if only non-material edits (typos, misspellings) are found the chair may sign; if substantive changes are identified the matter would be tabled for further board review.
The motion to authorize the chair to sign as drafted was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; a numerical roll-call tally was not recorded in the transcript. The board instructed staff to circulate any material changes to members and to withhold signature authority if the draft did not properly represent the board’s decision.
The authorization takes effect immediately; staff will notify the board if any substantive revisions are required before signing.
