Design Review Committee-Mr. Callahan said that the Committee met after approximately a period of two months. The Committee approved a sign for 35F South Street for Wicked. The sign was for Crave by Wicked which is a"grab and go"type of food service. Two other projects for 30 Evergreen Circle and 41 Evergreen Circle were approved to use the parcels as a construction yard. Plan Review-Mr. Lehrer reported that Plan Review met to review applications for 30 and 41 Evergreen Circle seeking Special Permits for contractor's yards on two vacant parcels. The owner of the properties has been utilizing the site since August without a permit. Mr. Lehrer stated that the Town has been aware of this and they have been steadily working with the property owners to achieve compliance. There are two other vacant properties in the same subdivision that are owned by a different entity and have had the same monitoring and input from town staff with less movement. At Plan Review it was suggested to the Building Commissioner that if there is not reasonable movement in the very near future to achieve compliance that substantive enforcement action should take place. Plan Review ultimately recommended approval of these Special Permits to the Zoning Board of Appeals with various conditions on the site plan.
