The Planning & Zoning Commission approved a site‑plan modification July 14 allowing outdoor dining at the Subway restaurant located at 9 Bank Street.
Applicant Rajendra Patel described a small outdoor area with four tables and eight chairs directly in front of the store. Staff reported the application complied with applicable rules provided the applicant implements a litter control plan and stores the tables and chairs off‑site during the off season. Commissioners confirmed they would include a condition prohibiting music or amplified sound as part of the permit.
"We have the only four tables and eight chairs outside…we will store it in the basement and monitor garbage," applicant Rajendra Patel said. Staff (Abby Kenyon) confirmed those commitments were added to the record. A motion to approve the site‑plan modification, with conditions that furniture be removed from the sidewalk during the off season, staff will enforce litter control, and no music or public address systems are allowed, was made and carried by voice vote.
The commission did not record a roll‑call vote in the minutes; the motion passed on voice vote. The permit and any site plan conditions will be documented in the community development office file for the property.
Next administrative steps include staff issuing the final site‑plan approval documentation and monitoring compliance with the conditions.
