Development Administration 69 Pleasant St. Linc Cole Ln., Minor Modification Request from Sheldon Corp to amend condition #16 of Board’s September 7, 2022 Special Permit approval Mr. Thomas Cataldo represented the applicant Sheldon Corp requested that the prohibition from having any workers arrive in vehicles prior to 7:00 am imposed by condition #16 in the Special Permit Residential Development approval granted by the Planning Board on September 7, 2022 be removed. Ms. McCabe said that Police and Planning Staff do not have any concerns with the applicant’s request as long as no construction nor any vehicle idling and all the other conditions of approval are met by the applicant. Staff sees no issues with this minor modification request because otherwise works arriving early are forced to drive around the area or park on other nearby roads. Mr. Schanbacher moved to find this request to be a minor modification because it does not materially change the original approval. Ms. Thompson seconded the motion. The Planning Board voted in favor of the motion 5-0-0 (Roll call: Creech – yes; Peters – yes; Schanbacher – yes; Thompson – yes; Hornig – yes). MOTION PASSED Mr. Schanbacher moved that the Planning Board approve the Minor Modification to remove the words “no vehicles are to arrive at the construction site before the designated construction hours” in condition #16. Ms. Thompson seconded the motion. The Planning Board voted in favor of the motion 5-0-0 (Roll call: Creech – yes; Peters – yes; Schanbacher – yes; Thompson – yes; Hornig – yes). MOTION PASSED
