The variance for keeping chickens was a significant topic of discussion. A representative for Bonsi Mule explained that the chickens were well-maintained, and no negative feedback had been received from neighbors. However, a neighboring property owner, Eldora Moore, mentioned finding a dead chicken and expressed concerns about possible rodent issues stemming from the situation. Moore clarified that while the dead chicken was a concern, she had no objections as long as the area remained clean and did not lead to further problems. Another neighbor, Susan Boycealt, supported the variance, praising the chickens’ upkeep.

Additionally, the board approved the application for a tattoo establishment and practitioner license for Allison Pavo at New Heart Tattoo, located on Pleasant Street. The inspection of the new tattoo shop was completed successfully, and all necessary paperwork was up-to-date, facilitating a smooth approval process.
