The primary focus of the meeting was the application for a special permit by Casey Ron Kelly to operate Murphy’s Nutrition. Kelly had purchased the business from Maddie Murphy and intended to maintain the existing conditions, including location, hours, and parking. The board considered waivers for the parking plan and floor plan, as no changes were proposed. The director of planning had reported that the current parking arrangement, consisting of 102 spaces, was adequate for the business. After some technical difficulties with video participation, the board unanimously approved the waivers and special permit.

In addition to the restaurant permit discussion, the board reviewed a request to endorse a plan creating two new parcels on Allen Street. The applicant, Derek Bolio, proposed subdividing the land to create a new buildable lot, with the remaining land marked as unbuildable until further action. The board confirmed that the new lot met zoning requirements, and, after ensuring that the remaining land was labeled accordingly, they endorsed the plan.
