Yarmouth Health Division says Dunkin' waiver request will appear before Board under plastic ban
Summary
The Health Division received its first waiver under the town's plastic foodware ban — a large-scale submission from Dunkin' Donuts — and the Board accepted a waiver form format that reflects a one-year variance term; staff will request the applicant appear before the Board.
Assistant Health Director Barry Lervis told the Board that the Health Division received its first waiver request under the town's plastic foodware ban from Dunkin' Donuts and that he will ask the applicant to appear before the Board.
Barry explained the waiver form mirrors formats used by other town boards and includes a regulatory requirement that any variance is effective for one year from issuance. After discussion about the form's one-year term, the Board accepted the use of the form for all waiver requests under the plastic ban. No vote on the specific Dunkin' waiver was recorded; staff will bring the applicant before the Board for consideration.
