7. Around the Table
Chairman Quinn requested the support of the Planning Board on the Municipal
Budget override question scheduled for special election in June. He would like
to form a committee to actively support the override. Board members were in
agreement with the suggestion.
Franklin D. R. Goodman, Jr. of 336 Balcom Street recently spoke to Planner Sohn
with regard to filing an application for a Special Permit for a kennel. After a
brief discussion, the Planning Board came to the conclusion that Mr. Goodman
does not need to file for a Special Permit due to the fact he will be boarding
only three dogs and a special permit would be for four or more dogs. Judith F.
Scott, Town Clerk, has requested something in writing from the Planning Board
stating that Mr. Goodman does not need a special permit for a kennel license for
three dogs.
Motion: Mr. Goodman does not need a Special Permit for three dogs and that
Judith F. Scott, Town Clerk, can issue individual licenses to this
gentleman.
