Planning board schedules May 15 special meeting to continue Waite(s) Wharf hearings
Summary
The planning board set a special meeting for Thursday, May 15 at 6:00 p.m. to continue hearings on the Waits Wharf North Lot and the Waite's Wharf Hotel Southlot, approving the schedule by voice vote to accommodate ongoing public hearings.
The City of Newport Planning Board voted to schedule a special meeting for Thursday, May 15 at 6:00 p.m. in the City Council chambers to continue public hearings on waterfront development applications. The motion to move item b (Waits Wharf North Lot) and item c (the Waite's/Waite's Wharf Hotel Southlot unified development review) ahead on the agenda was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Chair opened the scheduling discussion by asking, "Would the board be open to a 6PM meeting? Any opposed to 6PM?" (Chair). Board members agreed and the motions to reschedule and continue the hearings passed with unanimous 'ayes.' The board did not take final action on either development at this meeting; both matters are continuations of public hearings and will be heard at the May 15 session. The transcript uses inconsistent spellings for the waterfront project (appearing as both "Waits Wharf" and "Waite's Wharf"); the record of the planning board preserves the wording as read during the meeting.
