PlanningBoard | 2012-07-23 | 4 | 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. while the Service Repair Shop hours are Monday - Friday 9:00a.m - 6:00 p.m. and no service on Saturday. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft stated she is comfortable with the proposed changes stating that subbing out one type of fuel for another and reducing Monday-Friday hours to allow for Saturday hours are an equal exchange. Board member Knox White stated that he is willing to support the current proposal but suggests that the board consider directing staff to work with the applicant and neighbors on a different proposal, which would allow them to operate within the current 72 hours, but with clear "quiet hours," and consequences if complaints are filed and found to be valid. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft clarified with staff that Sunday closure was a condition for a previously issued use permit. Mr. Thomas responded that staff could create a pool of hours with conditions. He stated that it is difficult to monitor the operating hours. President Zuppan clarified with staff that there could be a noticing provision of 30-60 days of any revised operating hours. Board member Ezzy Ashcraft is interested in the idea of restructuring the conditions, and expressed concern about problems that may arise with future owners. Mr. Thomas suggested that the Board approve the use permit tonight; the applicant can then submit a proposal for additional changes that could go before the Zoning Administrator. Board member Knox White concurred with staff's suggestion Board member Köster asked if other service stations have to submit to certain operation hours. Mr. Thomas replied that every service station is operating under the basic zoning ordinance which allows operation hours between 7:00 a.m-10:00 p.m. Businesses who want extended hours must get a use permit approved by the Planning Board. Board member Köster stated that the addition of the sale of diesel is not an expansion since there is not additional pump installation. He said he is in favor of keeping weekly Approved Meeting Minutes Page 4 of 10 July 23, 2012 | PlanningBoard/2012-07-23.pdf |
