The Charlemont Planning Board on Nov. 6 discussed next steps on a special-permit matter for Topstitch Upholstery at 2069 Mohawk Trail and assigned follow-up tasks to advance a new application.

Board member Bill Harker said he would try to locate owner Robert Tatro’s Florida address so Tatro can receive a copy of a letter the board previously sent. Bill also said he would take the lead on arranging for a local representative named Jeff to file a new special-permit application; meeting notes indicate Jeff has concerns about trees that may fall on boats stored at the site. Members discussed the possibility that Tatro could provide a notarized statement from Florida authorizing Jeff to represent his interests.

No formal vote to require a new permit was recorded at the meeting. Bill said he would return the matter to the board after the holidays with any updates and documentation.
