Norfolk P&Z approves farmstand permit for Bruey Road applicants
Summary
The Norfolk Planning & Zoning Commission approved a special permit for a 12×16 farmstand at 06-06-14 Bruey Road after a public hearing in which the applicants described parking, structure size and honor‑system sales. The commission found the project consistent with local conservation and development policy.
The Norfolk Planning & Zoning Commission approved a special permit on June 16 for a farmstand at Assessor’s Map 06-06-14 Bruey Road.
Applicants Barton Wenrich and Bonnie Simmons told the commission the preconstructed stand would be 12 by 16 feet, sit on 4×4 pressure-treated skids and include parking space for two to three cars in front. “There will be no utilities and it would be an honor system,” the applicants said, describing how sales would be managed. Abutting neighbor and recording secretary Marinell Crippen confirmed she had received the public-notice materials.
After commissioners asked clarifying questions about size, parking and utilities, Commissioner Steven Landes moved to close the public hearing. Landes later moved to approve Application #26-007; the motion was seconded by Commissioner Wiley Wood and approved unanimously. Chairman Chris Schaut said the proposal met the town’s plan for conservation and development under section 3.6 A1 of the Planning & Zoning regulations.
The special permit allows a farmstand larger than the 64-square-foot threshold in the Rural Residential Zone; the approved proposal as presented included no on-site utilities and a small parking area. The commission did not attach additional conditions in the minutes beyond the permit approval and the chair’s finding of consistency with the P&Z plan.
Next steps recorded in the meeting minutes include filing the approved special permit with town records and any follow-up by town staff to ensure the stand and parking conform to the approved plan and applicable regulations.
