Um, so in the lower left of the screen there looks like a little camera. Yeah. Wait, I don't I don't have that option. Somewhere. Sorry, I'm just trying to figure it out.
All right. Well, while you're trying to figure out when the meeting has already started, uh, you bring my phone. Can I have a uh motion to open the public hearing? So moved. Second. Second. Anyone opposed? Wait. All in favor say
I. I. Anyone opposed say nay. Okay. [Applause] They just hang up. I think that they hung up. So, we're still here. Okay. Sorry. Can you answer some questions while you're still trying to find that out?
Yes, I can. All right. So, we were all under the understanding that Murphy's already existed. Yes. I purchased uh Murphy's Nutrition from Maddie Murphy. So, I didn't hear that last thing you
said. I purchased Murphy's Nutrition from Maddie Murphy. Okay. And are you in the You're going to be in the same location, same hours, same parking plan, same everything. That is correct. Nothing has changed.
Yeah. Let the public know. Yeah. Is there anything else you want to add? No, not at this time. I know that my lawyer is on, but it's not allowing him to speak. Hello. Yes. Can you hear me? I I can
hear you. I'm trying to find the operator of LCAT behind the TV. Their lawyer is trying to get in and apparently can't speak for some reason. Yeah, it's for some reason it's not working for him either. But is it Kyle
Duza? Yes, Kyle Duza. Hello. Hi. Hey. Can you hear me? Yes, we can, but we also can't see you. Okay. Uh, let me see if I could figure out It's not letting me turn on my video.
recording. I'm not sure why uh it's not letting me turn on my audio. Uh but we could continue like this if that works for you. Um whatever is easier. We we will continue, but it really is incumbent upon the applicant to be able to be
seen. Uh because we have no idea whether that's actually you behind the screen. No, I I completely understand. Um I'm just trying to find I don't know if it's because the room doesn't allow video. I'm not sure. Well, we do video every
meeting and normally the people who want to participate have arrangements, you know, have tested their computers and the like. Certainly understand. Um I I tested my computer multiple times today and I I'm
not sure what the issue is. I apologize uh obviously for the inconvenience. Um not intended. So let's just get you're you're requesting two waiverss on this special permit. One is the waiver of the parking
plan submission because you're using the exact same parking plan as the previous owner and you're looking to just continue to um you're not going to make any plan changes to the product line. Is that
correct? Correct. Everything uh you know the way the business was running before um it'll be running in virtually you know the identically you know same fashion as it was operating under before. Um yeah, in terms of parking spaces, um the
director of planning, Robert Will, I believe his last name is, um he wrote a report, uh the permit application report, uh he found that there was 102 parking spaces, which was more than enough to accommodate the business and all the surrounding businesses. Um so
that shouldn't be a problem, you know, theoretically. Um, and then we also we have a waiver for um the I think it was let's see uh it was the floor plan waiver. Um we don't anticipate any changes to the
construction or to the facade or anything like that. Um so yeah so that's we requested that waiver as well. Great. So, for the board, they're looking to um get an approval from this board to wave the request for the building floor
plans for waiver request for the parking plan because they're just utilizing the existing one and to approve, you know, the normal findings of why this is an appropriate use for a special permit. And if we have any additional
conditions, which I don't believe we do. Can I get a motion to approve those waiverss? So move. Thank you. You're welcome. So I'll make a Any other questions? No. Okay. And there's no one here. So moved. Wait. Is
there anyone in the audience that wishes to be heard on this matter? Hearing none. Okay. A motion to close the public hearing has been made. It's been seconded. Hi. There she is. And um on the vote to close the public
hearing. All in favor say I. I. Okay. So, do I get a motion to um to approve all the waiver requests? Well, I did it in advance of where I should have done it. So, I said
you motion. You made the motion. Move. Okay. So, I'll second. All right. Any further discussion? None. All in favor say I. I. All right. And just on the special permit, we'll just take one more just to be on the safe side. Uh with these with
the waiverss. So moved. Second. Any discussion? Nope. Hearing none. All in favor say I. I. I. Some conditions worth discussing. Um Rob put in. Did you look at them over? I I did look them over. Yeah. Thank you very much for uh owning a
owning a business in Nissan Meadow. We wish you a great deal of luck with it and much success. Thank you so much. All right. Have a good one. You too. Bye. Thank you. Bye. Bye. Yep. People do that. They aren't prepared.
So that [Music] might all right under new business. uh ANR-20 20225-02 request to endorse a plan of
land creating two part new parcels at 199 Allen Street parcel ID 72-10-0 residents a zoning district applicant Derek Bolio 1344 Allen Street Springfield Mass 0118
oh I see Mr. Bo and I see Mike Smith. Can let them both in. Car. Hi Mike. Hello guys. How are you? Good. You want to joining remotely today? You want to walk us through this one? Yeah.
So um the idea here is they are cutting out the building lots at uh on Allen Street. The remaining land is going to be its own separate parcel marked not a building lot until further action of the planning board. Um
as they may have some future plans for that parcel uh but not buildable. It's being left as an unbuildable lot and marked uh marked as that. So the so the new lot meets all the zoning frontage and so forth. The the
the new lot the new house lot meets all the zoning. Uh the other lot is substandard frontage. Uh but it is marked not a building lot which you're allowed to do under ANR. Yep. Okay. Questions
the board. Explain this to me. The existing house here. I believe it is. Yeah, that's that's the existing house there. Right. Um, so this is an associated garage and shed, but they're going to subdivide it here and that's going to become a different lot
tangle with with the right. The remaining land is not they they're looking to acquire another parcel uh that's going to assist in that. So, we'll be back in front of the board should that happen. Um, but uh right now it's just cutting out the
building lot so they can uh so they can sell the house. Okay. Any other questions? And they're doing what were the two structures that are there there? Those are going to be raised. Okay. They're they they have some conservation uh stuff that they've
been through as well. Had the area delineated. So, they're working through that process, but they'll be back in front of of you guys uh should any further work need to be done. There are no other questions. Going to get a motion to endorse the plan. Move.
Second. Motion made in second. Any discussion hearing? None. All in favor say I. I. No one's opposed. Thank you, Mike. Thanks, guys. Have a good day. All right. Uh, any old business that anyone could think of? I just would let you
know that um so Rob, the zoning enforcement officer for the town and myself made a follow-up to visit visit to um the property on Westwood Rashila Landscaping to see what had been done.
We were very pleased with the outcome on what he had done. There was one remaining unregistered vehicle which um he had made ar he indicated he had made arrangements for it to be removed. I believe that Rob wrote a letter or the
building inspector wrote a letter to him that he had until April 30th to remove that final one. It looks like a completely different really place back there. That's good. He did a lot of work. Oh, that's great. Good to hear. Good to hear. Yeah, it was good. So, will there be a follow-up visit to make sure that he's in compliance? I
would imagine it's on the zoning enforcement officer's calendar. Okay, very good. Yep. Um, Alex, did Rob leave you anything to talk about? Nothing else. Okay, where is he? He's um had a medical situation. Okay. But he's fine. Hope he's okay.
Yeah, he's fine. Uh, if there's no other business, do I have a motion to adjurnn? Second. Motion made a second. All in favor say I. I. That's it. Thank you.
