Select Board approves building-permit refund for canceled Kilm Road project
Summary
The board approved a building-permit refund for a canceled project at 384 L Kilm Road after a contractor’s cancellation that was not processed before the fiscal-year change; the applicant will receive a refund less the town’s $50 fee.
The Sheffield Select Board voted to refund a building permit fee for a canceled project at 384 L Kilm Road after a contractor requested cancellation in June that was not processed before the fiscal-year change. An applicant representative said the permit was originally for a fee amount (not fully transcribed in the record) and that the town’s policy retains a $50 administrative fee; the refundable amount discussed was presented to the board and then approved.
The board moved to refund the calculated sum (the transcript shows brief confusion over exact figures in the discussion and a corrected amount was read aloud before the vote). The motion passed with one member recorded as opposed during the voice vote.
Why it matters: The decision corrects a paperwork/timing issue caused by a staff transition in the building-inspection office and returns funds to a constituent consistent with town policy.
