Summary
Rachel Mulkerin filed a special permit for a 20' x 10' farm store within an existing garage at 168 Route 39 North to sell eggs and produce; the commission accepted the application, scheduled a site‑walk for July 13 and set a public hearing for August 6, 2026.
Applicant Rachel Mulkerin presented a Special Permit application to use a 20' x 10' portion of an existing 20' x 40' garage at 168 Route 39 North as a farm store to sell eggs and produce.
Administrative Clerk Christine Branson read the application materials into the record: a fully executed special permit application, a signed land‑use affidavit, a business plan listing hours of operation, a parking and sign plan, a floor plan of the proposed store layout, a marked survey and an abutters list of six properties. The commission discussed the file and scheduled a site‑walk for Tuesday, July 13, 2026 at 5:30 p.m. A public hearing was set for Thursday, August 6, 2026 at 7:00 p.m. at Charter Hall, 1 Route 39 North, Sherman.
Commissioner J. Burruano moved to accept the application for processing and public hearing; Commissioner P. Voorhees seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous. No substantive public comment or opposition to the application was recorded at the July 2 meeting.
Next steps: the site‑walk will inspect the proposed parking and the store footprint; the August 6 public hearing will allow abutters and other residents to comment before the commission makes a final decision.
