Board tables Blizzard Inc. mixed‑use proposal; residential units need variance
Summary
The Board tabled Blizzard, Inc.'s site plan for boat storage and a maintenance building with two residential units because a two-family residential use is not permitted in the Industrial Zone; the applicant was instructed to seek a variance from the ZBA.
Blizzard, Inc.'s proposal for a new storage building, marine repair garage and a maintenance building with two resident units above at 156 Lily Pond Road was tabled by the Planning Board on May 18 because the proposed two-family residential use is not permitted in the Industrial Zone without a variance.
Cindy Theriault, PE, explained site utilities, stormwater controls and the intent to house mechanics onsite due to a local workforce housing shortage; the Board and staff noted that parking, well upgrades for fire sprinklers and wetlands would need further review. Jack Landow moved to table the application to July 20, 2026, to allow the applicant time to obtain a variance from the Zoning Board of Adjustment. The minutes record staff and Board questioning about sewer connection, retention pond modifications and snow storage, and an abutter raised drainage concerns.
