Council accepts withdrawal of Pound Hill Realty zoning petition and continues settlement paperwork to Aug. 3
Summary
Pound Hill Realty LLC withdrew its zoning amendment petition for a roughly 89.44-acre parcel; council accepted the withdrawal subject to Town zoning ordinance limits and continued approval/authorization of a memorandum of understanding and settlement agreement to the August 3 meeting.
The council addressed litigation and a related zoning petition filed by Pound Hill Realty LLC concerning a roughly 89.44-acre parcel off Old Oxford Road, Pound Hill Road and Pine Hill Road. Council voted in executive session to discuss litigation and later accepted the applicant’s withdrawal of the petition, subject to Town of North Smithfield zoning ordinance section 3-40-5.27—meaning the same amendment for the same property may not be considered for 12 months unless ordered by a court or accompanied by an affidavit showing changed circumstances.
Councilors then moved to continue action on a memorandum of understanding and settlement agreement related to the litigation to the next meeting on August 3 so that comments can be considered and final authorization can occur in open session. The motions were made, seconded, and approved by roll call.
