After MDAR notice, Colrain board asks ZBA to require bond for Scranton APR special permit
Summary
Town Administrator Diana Parsons reported a Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources notice indicating the Scrantons must provide a bond for the Scranton APR; the Select Board voted unanimously to accept the MDAR notice and ask the Zoning Board of Appeals to make the bond a condition of any special permit to operate the quarry.
Town Administrator Diana Parsons told the Select Board on May 13 that the Massachusetts Department of Agricultural Resources (MDAR) sent a notice concerning the Scranton Agricultural Preservation Restriction (APR) and that MDAR requires the Scrantons to provide a bond. Parsons recommended the Select Board ask the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) to require that bond as a condition for any special permit to operate the quarry.
Emily Thurber moved to accept the MDAR notice and to request that the ZBA include a bond requirement in its special-permit decision at the hearing scheduled for the following evening; the motion passed unanimously on a roll-call vote. The Board's action is a formal request to the ZBA; the ZBA will make the final determination at its hearing.
