Resident Nicole King referred to public hearing for home-based tax office in C4 district
Summary
Nicole King sought board approval to operate a by-appointment tax office from a detached building on her property in the C4 District; the board saw the use as low-intensity, confirmed infrastructure details (separate electrical service, new septic) and moved the item to a public hearing.
The Pittsfield Planning Board referred a conditional-use request from Nicole King to a public hearing after King described plans to run a by-appointment tax office from a detached building on her lot at 247 SA Road.
King told the board, "I'm going to work at my house; that's my plan," and said the office would be by appointment only, serving higher-profile clients and producing low traffic. She said she had already installed a small detached building, had arranged for a separate electrical pole and would install a new septic/leach field exclusively for that structure.
Board members discussed whether the use fit the town’s low-intensity home-business provisions and noted that the change would follow the board’s public hearing and any subsequent council action required by code. The board moved to refer the matter to a public hearing for fuller review and public notice.
Next steps: Planning staff will schedule a hearing and notify abutters; any specific conditions (hours, signage, parking) will be considered during the hearing.
