JJC Materials, Inc. Third Quarterly Report-for the gravel pit located off of Park Street, Palmer. The quarterly report, dated September 23, 2009, was sent from Lycott Environmental.

A motion was made by D.France to accept the third quarterly report for JJC Materials, Inc.  J.Haley, Jr., seconded.  The vote passed (5:0).

Discussions were held regarding the Special Permit and Site Plan application from Todd Kortekamp for the property located on 3012-3014 Pine Street, Bondsville.

L.Leduc stated that the applicant is requesting to convert a duplex to a condominium and had requested a Certificate of Occupancy from the Building Inspector.  The Building Inspector indicated that if the applicant wants a condominium at the location, then he would need to apply for a Special Permit and Site Plan approval as stated in the zoning.

L.Leduc stated that condominiums are incorrectly used in the zoning as a structure, when it is actually a form of ownership.  According to Attorney Michael Ciota, the Board cannot regulate condominiums in the zoning ordinance.  Therefore the applicant would need to withdrawal the application.

L.Leduc indicated that Attorney Charles Ksienewicz would be reviewing the information for the Building Department.

A motion was made by J.Haley, Jr., to accept the letter of withdrawal without prejudice from Todd Kortekamp dated October 5, 2009.  D.France seconded.  The vote passed (5:0).

The Board discussed the comments from Attorney Michael Ciota for the East Street property.

A motion was made by J.Haley, Jr., acknowledging receipt of the comments and to forward them to Michael Swiatlowski.  T.Skowyra seconded. The vote passed (5:0).

735 PM-A motion was made by J.Haley, Jr., to adjourn.  D.France seconded.  The vote passed (5:0).


James Haley, Jr., Clerk
