During the meeting, the board discussed the procedural difficulties of having an abutter to the property, identified as Damasi, recuse themselves, which necessitated rescheduling. Despite efforts to gather enough members, they were unable to proceed with the hearing as planned. The board expressed concern about the inconvenience and potential financial implications for the applicant, who was represented by legal counsel.

In an effort to expedite the hearing process and accommodate the applicant, the board tentatively scheduled the continuation for February 5th. Members committed to ensuring a quorum for this date and emphasized the importance of resolving the matter promptly due to the subsequent 20-day appeal period that follows such hearings.
