Board applies pre-existing 175,000-sq-ft standard to quarry application after closed-session review
Summary
After a closed-session review of correspondence from Gray Law Group, the Planning Board voted to apply the prior 175,000-square-foot ordinance (not the new 75,000 standard adopted 06/23/2026) to the Michelotti Sons quarry application submitted 05/19/2026 and supplemented 07/08/2026.
Following closed-session legal and engineering review, Ken summarized the board's view that the applicant's May 19, 2026 submittal (and July 8 supplement) should be evaluated under the prior 175,000-square-foot ordinance rather than the newly adopted 75,000-square-foot standard. He noted the board and its advisers believed the earlier ordinance applied to the filing.
A motion to that effect was made and seconded; the board took a roll-call vote and recorded affirmative votes that carried the motion. The action was procedural direction about ordinance interpretation and does not itself approve or deny the quarry application; it sets which local standard will govern the next review steps.
