SPECIAL PERMITS
Applicant: Stuart Bornstein
Location: 104 Falmouth Road
Request: Schedule public hearing for Special Permit Modification under the provisions of Section 174-24.H. to add “Sale or rental of automobiles, boats and other motor vehicles and accessory storage” as listed under Section 174-25.F.(2) of the Zoning By-law to the uses permitted under the Special Permit previously approved for the property. ALSO request for waiver of Review and Inspection fees.
The Chair read the request. Mr. Fudala indicated that Stuart Bornstein was storing approximately 150 classic cars in his building and was seeking a public hearing to add a use to his permit. Mr. Fudala referenced the request for a fee waiver, noting that there would be no need for review or inspection by Mr. Rowley as the request was strictly to add a use. Mr. Balzarini inquired about fuel storage and whether Mr. Rowley would need to review the drainage system. Mr. Rowley responded that the Fire Department or Board of Health would likely provide a review in that case, but that it would be a good question to pose at the hearing.
MOTION: Mr. Balzarini made a motion to schedule a public hearing for September 17th at 7:45 p.m. Ms. Waygan seconded the motion. All voted unanimously.
