Townsend ZBA honors long‑serving members, recommends reappointment and schedules next hearings
Summary
After the 159 Brookline decision the Townsend ZBA thanked departing members Darlene Sedado and David Chanel for decades of service, recommended Kobe for reappointment to a five‑year term, and tentatively scheduled a July 15 public hearing on a separate application.
Following the vote on the 159 Brookline Road application, the Townsend Zoning Board of Appeals used the meeting time to handle administrative matters and recognize long‑serving members.
Chair Vicki Janiki and other members publicly thanked Darlene Sedado and David Chanel for more than three decades of service to the ZBA; both signaled they would not seek reappointment. The chair said the board had learned a great deal from their experience and members exchanged personal thanks.
Staff asked the board to pick dates for upcoming hearings; the board tentatively scheduled a public hearing for a separate application (property mailing address referenced as 142 Fsburg Road) on Wednesday, July 15 at 6:30 p.m., pending availability. The board also voted to recommend the reappointment of Kobe to the ZBA for a five‑year term; the recommendation will go to the select board as part of the reappointment process.
The meeting closed after routine reminders about forthcoming draft regulations, ex‑parte communications guidance, and training opportunities for new members.
