resignation at the last meeting. Was he intending to not come tonight? Uh, he didn't say, but that's a possibility. Yeah. All right. Well, then let's just continue with the meeting until uh Okay. I'll make a motion to uh
uh uh accept the agenda as read as written. There's a motion and a and a second. All those in favor of uh accepting the agenda as presented uh please say I. I.
I. Passes unanimous. Okay. The uh the first uh appointment is for uh PSPR2-2 350A industrial drive site plan review uh submitted by Mr. Paul Nukem.
Uh were we waiting on certain details uh in regards to the site? Yeah. So, we did have uh he was supposed to have um hold on bathrooms, truck maintenance, 25% lo lot lot coverage, water, heat, all that
added to the plan, right? Yeah. And um light and talked to the fire department on the radiuses of the turns, right? And um he was going to draw up different plans or something. I think Pat had a list of things that he that were missing
from the plan, right? Yeah, let me see if I have that right here. Worthy. I don't have any other notes on. Yeah, Pet Brenon uh in his uh summation there asked for a couple different things. It was actually quite a few
things. Yeah. So, that is um Danielle. Yeah, I was just going to say, Daniel, do we get any correspondence from uh Mr. Nukem in regards to uh 350A industrial drive, the
uh site plan updates that were requested? Have you heard from him at all? No, the only the last time I talked to him was April 29th and he asked to be moved to this meeting and I haven't heard or received anything since. Okay.
Um, do you know the date of his site plan application? Um, do you know the num numbers on it? Like the dates? Uh, I want to say March. No, he wasn't March. Um, hold on
one second. [Applause] This was shaping up. Okay. It was March 12th and I think we gave him an extension. Is it on the meeting minutes that you have for 30 days? Right. That
was right. And it goes to What? What day did we do that? When was he here? Do we remember? Was it April uh Hold on. April 17th. Was he here? Do you know if he was at the April 17th or the 3rd?
I think he was at the April 17th meeting. Yeah, cuz that was the hearing for the bylaw. April 17th. Yeah. So that night we gave him a 30-day extension. I'm sorry. I know you said it and I'm going to write it down now. What was the original date of his site plan? Uh March 12th.
Okay. So 45 days for that. 30 44 31 18 + 30. We're not going to make it to the next meeting for our site plan. for 358 industrial drive. That one.
Yeah. No. So, he hasn't asked for an extension and that's his job to, right? But if we deny him, that means he can't come back for 2 years. Years. But if we let it go, he gets constructive approval. So, we have to do something.
Uh, and I hate to deny him because that'll make it so that he can't do anything for two years. What's the 45th date? The 45th date is Hold on. Now I had it in my head. Hold on. 18. I don't have a calendar. I got to start
bringing a calendar. I don't have my phone. All right. Is that why you guys are talking about maybe I do? I may be lying. No. I'm just looking for my calendar. Oh, that's
really so 31. So, 18 19 days there and then that would be 19. 26. So that would be April 26th and so May 26th
is when it would expire. Yeah. Well, then I think uh like you said, I think it's his responsibility uh we can send a letter from the board that uh uh if indeed it is his desire to uh request a extension whether it be 30
days, 45 days, uh we could come in and we could authorize the chair to sign an extension. Why aren't we going to be able to do something to protect like the town like we did the last time? um where we can
offer to give him a 30-day extension and if he doesn't accept it that we motion to like because we have done that in the past. Yeah. So I mean otherwise we're leaving the town open to a constructive approval. Right. So then we're not doing anything right for the town. So make a
motion. Okay. I was just going to say well I'll accept a motion for 30-day extension. Okay. I'll make a motion to extend the site plan um 30 days from May 26th, which would then
be the 25th of June. Am I doing that right now? Days in May. Okay. Yep. So the 20 So it'll be a 30-day extension to the June 25th, 2025. 24th. If there's 31 days, I did the um
You got it. Yes. Sorry. That's okay. Leave you alone. It's It's okay to double check. I'm fine with that. Um June 30 days from How about we do this? 30 days from May 26th, 2025 that he can accept that extension
or we will accept his um withdrawal without prejudice. Yeah, that's what we did that last time. I think I think that's the thing to do. have a motion on the floor uh for to offer a 30-day uh
extension on the application uh on the application for PS25-2. Thank you. To Mr. Nukem uh with the or with the instruction or with the
information that uh should he not accept that uh uh offer of a 30-day extension uh it it his application would be subject to uh withdrawal without prejudice withdrawal. He could ask for withdraws.
So does that hold Hold on. Is that going to is that going to cover him for one more meeting or both of June's meetings? uh that that would cover him for uh actually you know what Danielle only one of them because there's a June 5th and then a June 26th
because I think that our June 18th am I correct is um pri um what is that day June 18th what is that date called June Junth Junth is that right that's a holiday now is that why it's star June 26th
uh possible I don't have schedule right in front of me but That would be my guess. Okay. So, you want to do a 45 then instead of 30 just to cover us? Well, I mean we are going to meet again in the beginning of June, right? Yeah. He could he could come in then the June
the beginning June. Yeah. June 5th ideally. Yeah. He'll either have to accept or withdraw. Yeah. All right. Just because otherwise they'll get constructive approval or we deny it which is the which is Okay. Or so we maybe need to address that motion
to say or it's denied. Yeah. I mean, he's going to do something. Okay. Okay. So, we'll Okay. Make a I'm going to I'm going to amend my motion. Was it seconded anyways? Um I make a motion to extend
PSPR25-2. Hold on. I give I make a motion to offer to the applicant of PSPR-25-2 350A industrial drives site plan review Paul Nukem a choice to
either extend for 30 days from May 26th accept an exception accept an extension for 30 days from May 26th or he can withdraw without appro without without prejudice or the planning board will
deny the uh site plan application as presented on the April 2nd, 2025 site plan. Second. There's a motion and a second. I'm going to ask for a voice vote. Amy,
yes. Myself, yes. Tom, yes. Rick, yes. Okay, passes unanimous. Any question? Can I just ask what that last date was that you said? Yes. So, it was May 26th when the when the 30-day extension from the original 45 days
would end. Okay. And we're giving a 30-day extension from that. And since it's 31 days in May, it ends up to be June 25th. Okay. Okay. Thank you. In our best calculations. Yeah.
Uh All right. And now PSPR25-35. Sorry, that's you. That's you now. I'm roll. I'm rolling. What's going on with this one? Okay. Uh, our next appointment is uh PSPR, 25-3, 539 Plymouth Street, site plan
review. The uh plant nursery. I believe the general I don't remember. His first name is Sammy. Uh, I don't remember. I didn't remember that. There was a a a couple of things that he was uh he was trying to get a sketch of the uh of his
property where where the shack was going to go where the shack was going to go. And I also understand uh even though it's in the historical district, I don't know or he hasn't stated that he's met with the historic uh commission either. Well, the interesting thing is if it's
behind 30 300 ft, the historical people don't have any jurisdiction. Well, I So, I think that's why he was talking about moving the shed, but he didn't. Yeah, but he's still the business itself is in the historic district. Yeah. Can I interject for one second,
please? Yes. Go ahead. Received an email from Paul Newm actually like just now. Okay. Um and he said um something about a 60-day extension. Oh, so he wants a 60-day extension.
Yes. Okay. I would like Can I do it now? Sure. Thank you. I would like to amend the former motion to a six to the applicant for PSPR25-2 35A industrial drive site plan.
Yeah. To just a flat the He's asking for an extension on site plan for 60 days. Second. There's a motion in a second to uh uh correct uh the extension for uh
PSPR25-2 for 60 days instead of 30. There's a motion and a second on the floor. Uh again, I'll ask for a vote for on the correction. Amy, yes. Myself, yes. Tom. Yes. And Rick. Yep. So, uh, it's been corrected to or changed to 60
days instead of 30. You can tell him that right. And we'll start the paperwork. He can come in and sign it. Did you get that, Danielle? Yeah. I'll fax it over to him on uh Monday how to sign it, but I'll email him right now

Do you guys, while I'm writing this out, um, do you guys um, remember if we gave any extensions on that site plan before? I don't think we had to. I don't think we did either cuz one he came in, I believe his first one was just an informal discussion of
it. He didn't actually have an application in. He didn't have a sketch done. He was looking for an engineer or Yeah. you don't remember and I still he did sketch something himself. Yes, he was on April 16th is when he
submitted his site plan and he did have an application at the meeting on the 17th. Okay. Was the date the 17th? The file date was the 16th. Okay. Thank you. I'll do the math in a minute, guys. I'm just going to finish this first. All

June, you mean? Yeah. No, no, we're not. So that So he's we're going to need to go into July. So we need an extension. We need to do that motion with him. Yeah. Okay, good. That's right. We're really going to get this down tonight. Okay.

week. I don't know how that works out. When's the fourth? Then we July 3rd we it would be the meeting and you know, nobody's coming on July. Yeah. Right. I mean, I will. I guess you think they would have called and said they weren't going to be here for that though.
Maybe they're busy working or something. Yeah, just make All right, I agree with you. And there's room for We don't have any uh text to make this easy from the applicant of 539, do we? What was that? I was kidding. I'm like,
we don't have happen to have any new text messages from 539 Plymouth Street, do we? Oh, no. Um last I heard um the week I was out with I think he had told that he wanted to push the next
meeting which would have been tonight. Um but I haven't heard a word at all since. Okay. Thanks. That was kind of a joke cuz you just heard from Paul. All right. So Daniel, I'll put that uh extension
form that we u we all signed. I'll put it in the folder uh where it marked minutes to sign. Yeah. Okay. All right. Thank you. So 14. I have it that June 1st is the um date that the site plan will expire for PSPR
253539 Plymouth Street. What did we finish say it was? Then we're not I was writing so I didn't 100% hear Tom. When's the next meet the meeting first meeting in June? Wasn't at the 5th I think. Yeah. So, so we have to do something again. We're actually going
to meet with 50. Everybody be humble. Uh, so we need to do that same motion. You think? I should think at least give them an opportunity. Yes. Okay. You're getting good at this. Oh god. All right. So, I make a motion
to offer PSPR 253539 Plymouth Street site plan review for a plant nursery either a 30-day
extension or a written withdrawal without prejudice or the site plan. Um the planning board will vote to to um deny the site plan as given on April 16th, 2025.
Yeah. Did you hear me? Should we put it to vote or could it deny or do we have to vote tonight? If he doesn't do anything, we have to do something tonight or else it's it's No, I mean that for that date that we're extending it to. If if he
does well if he doesn't we have to do something. So Oh, so if he doesn't it would automatically be denied. Yeah. He has a choice. He can either do the extension for 30 days withdraw withdraw without prejudice or
we vote tonight to deny. So he didn't he didn't apply for an extension certain for that for when you want um a decision from him. That was Yeah. Is it at the next meeting you want a decision or do you want me to try and get one sooner? Probably sooner. We have to have one
sooner because he at the next meeting it'll be constructive approval, right? And he's too far back to like it wouldn't make the June 5th meeting our next meeting. He the site plan would be expired on June 1st. Okay. If that was
my question. All right. Okay. Okay. We do another one of these just in case that's how he wants to go. You need a You need a second to that. Oh, yes. If you agree. And that would be Do you want me to say it again? No, I can. Just so
let you know. Okay. I'm sure there's a motion on the floor. Well, I'm just because I don't like the last part. I don't want to deny him and like, you know, make it so that he But I guess we're giving him a choice. But this motion would deny it if he didn't take the other's choices. I think as a board
we need to kind of get a little tougher on this stuff. I mean, I know we always trying to help people, but it always gets kicked down the road forever and then people just It's been over. It's been over a year that the other one were really gone. Yeah. Yeah. For the long
out of our way. Yeah. So, uh I agree. It puts pressure on him to do something something even if it's prejudice. Uh and and I see your point too. You don't want to you try to help someone out as best you can like you said, but if he doesn't do anything
and just ignores it, it's 2 years down the road, you know. Yeah. And it is his choice right now. Yeah. And it is his choice. Okay. And you let him know like as soon as you like Monday when you're in the office, right? Do we need to do another Monday morning? All right. Cool.
Probably couldn't hurt. Probably couldn't hurt then to do another one of these. Oh, yeah. So at least they'd be available. So I I'll second the motion. So I was just going to say there's a motion on the floor and I have a second. Um you going to repeat it? Yes, please.
You want me to? We'll we'll go with as as uh as submitted. I will if you want for the options regarding PSPR25-3 for the uh property located in the application on 539 Plymouth Street.
uh the plant nursery. I'll uh ask for a voice vote. Amy, yes. Myself, yes. Yes. Tom, yes. Rick, yes. Unanimous. And uh Daniellea, we're doing the same form as uh we did for the uh
prior uh application at 358 Industrial Drive. Yeah. Just in just in case with the corrected dates. Yes, it's just in case. So we do have it on on file which gives
him the burden is all on him at this point you know my again the damn thing so that'll need to be on the um June 5th agenda
please. So then that would be July 1. Okay. What's next? Meeting minutes. No names. Really don't even have an official name on it yet. So, well, right. And then
other than do I put April 17th here because that was the date we first saw him. I think so. Right. I know. Meeting date of petition. Yeah. April 17th. 29. Why don't we leave the blanket? You could put it in. We don't know the other name either.
