Duly adopted this 22nd day of September, 2021, by the following vote:
MRS. MOORE-Just so the Board knows, and the public, there was an issue, in regards to the application,
there was an issue in regards to the notices not being received by those within 500 feet. So we have to re-
advertise for that, and as well the Planning Board under Planning Board recommendations, the applicant
requested to be tabled so that they could revise their plan set. So in October you’ll receive a whole new
revised set of plans. They’re going to update that project.
AYES: Mrs. Hamlin, Mr. Urrico, Mr. Henkel, Mr. Kuhl, Mr. McDevitt, Mr. Stark, Mr. Underwood
NOES: NONE
