Applicant for 1211 Pound Hill Road fails to submit survey; board passes application off the calendar
Summary
The Zoning Board passed the variance application for 1211 Pound Hill Road off the calendar after the applicant failed to submit a required zoning map/survey and indicated he would not pay for the survey; the board said refiling would require paying advertising and filing fees.
The North Smithfield Zoning Board of Review on July 28 voted to pass an application for 1211 Pound Hill Road off the calendar after the applicant failed to provide a requested zoning map and survey.
Board members said the applicant had not submitted the required documentation and, according to the record, indicated he "didn't wanna spend the money for the survey." Town legal counsel recommended passing the matter off the calendar rather than dismissing with prejudice so the applicant could refile later if he chooses; counsel noted that any refiling would require payment of advertising and filing fees. The board approved the motion to pass the application off the calendar by voice vote.
The chair clarified that the board had previously given the applicant one opportunity to return without paying fees; going forward the applicant would be treated as a new filing and would be responsible for advertising costs and filing fees. No decision on the variance merits was made at the July 28 meeting.
