ZBA grants one‑year renewal for Predatory Fins' special‑use permit, requires monitoring of parking
Summary
The board renewed Predatory Fins' special‑use permit for one year measured from issuance of a certificate of occupancy, and asked the operator to monitor employee/visitor parking to address neighbor concerns about congestion and late deliveries.
Kevin Weey, representing Predatory Fins, told the zoning board the business had been approved in 2024 but the one‑year renewal lapsed before work began; he asked the board to renew the special‑exception use permit so the company can obtain a final certificate of occupancy and open for retail.
"We're here to seek renewal for that special exemption," Weey said, explaining that shipments of live fish sometimes arrive late and that the operator tries to schedule deliveries during daytime hours when possible.
Board members and staff discussed neighbor concerns about parking on the side street and night‑time deliveries for shipments; Weey said employees will use on‑site spaces and the site plan includes marked spaces. The board approved a renewal for one year to be measured from the date of issuance of the CO and reiterated that any special events would require prior town approval. The approval included a reminder that the applicant must comply with prior site‑plan conditions and monitor parking to mitigate neighbor concerns.
