In a notable decision, the board granted preliminary and final major site plan approval, with design waivers, for a school use with dormitory facilities. This decision involves Applegate Owner LLC, overseeing Block 4404, lots 2 and 3.

Another important decision involved the approval of an amended site plan for a property on North County Line Road LLC. This amendment allows for the addition of approximately 787 square feet to the mezzanine area and the installation of seven electric vehicle parking spaces for a previously approved office and retail building. This move aligns with broader trends towards sustainability and accommodating electric vehicles.

The meeting also included routine organizational tasks such as nominating and electing Michele Campbell as the Planning Board Chair and Joseph Sullivan as Vice Chair, as well as appointing professionals to the board’s attorney, engineer, and planner positions. Laura Morrison was reaffirmed as both Planning Board Secretary and Recording Secretary.

Additionally, several applications were carried forward to future meetings, including those for Hope Commercial Holdings and various other LLCs. The board addressed these procedural matters.
