All right. Well, welcome to the uh planning board meeting on uh for tonight. Uh we have a proposed agenda here of 6:30 board business. Uh 6:40 continued public hearing. My understanding that is going
to be continued till October 2nd. Uh followed by King Street special permit clarifications discussion 655 discussion from collective cannabis on amending hours and then uh ANR for 600 great road. Does
that confirm what we believe we're working with agenda for tonight? >> Great. >> The agenda I have. >> Okay. Um we have minutes from the August 7th, 2025 um meeting. Uh do we have any comments
on those um minutes? >> I just have one comment. Um it's it's a sentence that um I think just needs a little bit of work. So on page four item three regarding national grid it would be the
one two3 full paragraph the first sentence reads Baker asks what work is going to be done in this area period stated maintenance upgrade for the live structures. So it just feels like it's missing something but that's it. Thank
you. >> Okay. Do you have a proposed fix for that sentence in there? I don't because I don't really know who who's the person who said stated maintenance upgrade. I don't know if it was you or somebody else. So, someone will just need to take a quick look at that video portion.
>> Okay. >> Yeah, that sounds like a correction that is easily made if you're willing to approve with that correction. >> Okay. Take a motion. >> I'll make a motion we approve the minutes as presented with the correction. >> Second.
>> Okay. And we do roll call vote for Zoom meetings. Okay. Bartlett. >> Bartlett. Yes. >> Uh Mark, >> yes. >> Anna, >> yes. >> Daryl, yes. >> That Cooper vote. >> All right. We have uh bills. Did I see
that? We have one bill for 38.95 to um Green International. >> Correct. That's um one of the ongoing peer reviews. >> Yeah. I'm not sure what our procedure for signing it is on a virtual meeting.
Do you just take a vote and then we'll stop by somebody stopped by the office to sign for it or what's the procedure there? >> Yep. So my thought process was there if you approve both the bills and the upcoming ANR um you'll have two things
to stop in to sign. Um so I just um use that protocol. >> Okay. I can I could stop by town hall to uh to do that. >> All right. Um >> 95 is for what vendor? >> Uh Green International
>> and for what project? >> Right. Green Lochner Company. Sorry, they changed their name. But yeah, it was the um storm water permit review for 64 Beaverbrook. >> Okay. Do I have a motion to accept the
bill? I make a motion we accept them. >> Okay. >> Accept the bills as presented. >> I'll second it. >> Okay. Uh Bartlett, >> yes. >> Mark, >> yes. >> Anna, >> yes.
>> Daryl, yes. So, the bill is approved. I'll sign I'll stop by and sign uh for it. Okay. Member input and updates on projects. Anybody have any updates they'd like to uh relay?
Looks like the bank is getting pretty close. They've got all the all the sod in and everything else. I mean, all the dirt in. Looks like they're getting ready to finish up the exterior. I don't know where they're at in the interior, but it looks like they have proceeding as diligently as they can. >> Yeah. And I saw today they're they're
pouring the sidewalk down uh or at least installed the granite curving for the sidewalk uh down Great Road. >> You did? We did. Did anybody not or has everybody noticed that the the crossing um uh lights are have been
installed and they're actually working now? >> No. >> Yeah, the one >> Yeah, I saw that. Um I know the one down by Mil Pond because I use I cross on that one a lot on my walks. >> The one on King Street works. Um trying to think where else there. Yeah.
And there's another one further up on King Street right by um Shhat where Shadic cuts in. That one was working as well. They're looks like they're all working actually for about time. >> Yeah. >> Okay.
>> Yep. Um so the um one update I can offer on ADUs is that uh Cooper and I have a meeting um scheduled next week with MAPC um just to uh discuss uh what to um what's next on updating the ADU bylaw.
I'm trying to get ready to bring something um forward to the planning board to discuss and we do have a request from the zoning board of appeals to um make sure we invite them um when the planning board has a discussion on ADUs. They've got some ideas they'd like
to see incorporated. >> Okay. >> Has anyone actually applied for an ADU? >> Um we've over the last several years we've had a handful. So, I expect it'll add, you know, a number of housing units
to town. Um, giving some homeowners the option of, you know, of helping as as you know, helping homeowners age in place or helping um young families find a new place to live. But I don't imagine
that it'll be a um a a you know significant number of of ADUs, >> but relative to since the updated law, we have not had any new applications for them.
>> Um yeah, actually u the building commissioner has seen a couple applications. >> Okay. Could we get a summary of those when you do come forward with the uh updated um
uh uh ADU um bylaw discussions >> in the future here? >> Just just so that we have kind of a feel for what >> what is already being taken advantage of by the residents. >> Yep. I'll I'll ask for an update. >> Thank you.
I think we have to slow down a little bit or we're going to blow through our agenda too quickly here. Uh any other uh updates? And I don't see do we have any uh public dialed in at this point? I don't see
any. Um so um there are a couple attendees. Um, okay. >> Well, Morgan, we know Morgan as a representative for um 550 King Street. I'm not familiar with the other
attendee, but um recommend that if you ask if anybody has um public comments, they just raise their hand. >> Yeah, I I didn't have the right screen up. I didn't see the the attendee the other attendees. Okay. All right. Um,
not hearing, not seeing any hands being raised for public input. Uh, we'll move to the next one, which is I guess I'll be looking for a motion to continue the 64 Beaverbrook uh, public hearing until
uh, October 2nd. And do we have a time allocated for that? Um, I would suggest we do that near the beginning of the meeting. It sounds like they're closing in on um being done with the conservation commission.
>> Okay, >> Cooper, is that does that sound right? >> Yeah, I think I had 6:40. >> Okay. All right. Uh, so could I have a motion to um continue the hearing till 2 October at 6:40?
>> So moved. Second. >> Okay. Uh, Bartlett, >> yes. >> Park, >> yes. >> Anna, >> yes. >> Daryl, yes. Okay. Uh,
the uh 645 discussion on the special permit clarification. Do we have um somebody from the project uh for this? >> Um, yes. I see that Morgan Pearson is available. Let me um
promote to panelists for this discussion. >> Good evening members of the board. Thank you very much. Um I believe Steven Rodman may be the other person, the mystery person waiting. Um, Mara, and I don't know if you see Stephen, if so, he
he's our attorney helping with the financing of the property, which is related to our request this evening. Um, I don't know if we'll need him, but I I asked if he had time to join in case uh there was any questions above my my head, any legal questions.
>> So, could could you just open with what's the purpose of your request tonight and what's driving that? So, so that everybody's on that. >> Of course. Of course. Um so we had put a request to the board um as part of our
special permit approval there is a condition I believe it's condition number 25 that states that we may not transfer um any of our parcels to a a person or entity without the planning board's approval um of that application.
We are requesting that three of the parcels as part of the subdivision of the 550 King Street project be granted approval by the board uh to be conveyed to affiliated entities um in the interest of us working with banks to
sort of to refinance different elements of the property. Um, I'm not sure if the our letter from our uh from TEC from Rick Fryberg and and our civil engineer was was provided to the board, but it outlines the three uh different parcels
that we are referencing. And I believe uh Cooper, I know you shared at least with me the site plan that outlined those parcels which shows the existing IBM buildings as well as a future potential garage. Those are the parcels we are working right now with a with a
bank, a local bank to um to refinance. And as part of that diligence, the banks uh and our attorney pointed out that we need board approval uh because the entity names are are changed. >> Okay. >> It's fairly it's fairly um uh I I don't
want to say administrative, but it's it's nuanced. It's not changing anything. It's just it's when the entity names changes so we can re refinance each of these parcels. There is a provision in the special permit um that we were not or at least I was not aware of as I wasn't here in the beginning. Uh
so that's what we're talking about. >> Okay. Do any of the board members have any questions? >> It's still going to be owned by the Leoli company. I would assume correctly. >> Correct. >> Yeah. That that was my question there is
was there any plans on transferring ownership of the LLC's to any other entities? This is purely a refinancing uh request with internally to our company. >> Okay. Uh my go ahead.
>> I was just going to ask so with with this new entity so um does Mr. Leolei retain majority ownership in the new entity? >> Yes. >> Okay. Thank you. >> Okay. Um because I think the one clarification
and maybe it might be outside of the special permit but I mean in terms of as I said keeping us as a partner in the whole process here is if majority ownership of any of the LLC's change we would like to be notified of that
>> um uh there because this structure does allow you to uh change ownership of the LLC uh here and I want to make just clarify that we want to be notified if if the majority owner of the LLC changes.
I understand what you need to do for your financing, but um I want to make sure we understand if there's any actual underlying change of ownership. totally understand and and um maybe stepping out of my legal understanding but but my understanding currently as the special
permit is written as the condition is written that and that's why we're before you this evening that even if we are changing entities from 100% owned to 100% owned like we are >> we we we require your approval. So I think your request is sort of even a
lower threshold to that but we understand it either way. Yeah, it it's just once you start setting up to me these are you know become opaque uh organization you know company organizations uh here that we start losing visibility uh into um actual ownership and I want to make sure we
maintain that. >> Completely understand. >> Okay. Any anybody else on the board have any questions? >> No. No. >> Okay. Um, I'll take a motion to um Did
you give us a proposed motion in the cover page? Uh, here. Let me just I don't know how complex that motion needs to be. Uh, let me see. Um, I'd take a motion to um change the
ownership designations of lot U8 10-4, U810-6, and U810-7 to uh 550 King Street Parcel P3 LLC, 550 King Street Parcel 200 LLC, and 550
King Street Parcel 100 LLC. Is that moved? Second. >> Uh, Bartlett, >> yes. Approved. >> Mark, >> yes. >> Anna, >> yes.
>> And Daryl, yes. So, we we approved the um administrative change on the designation of the ownership. >> Thank you. >> One quick question from Oregon. when when do you think we're going to have uh you before us again to give us an update of where we're at with um the
construction process? And um I I don't know if tonight's appropriate. I am prepared to share a preview of that. Um if you would like or if it makes sense for this, but otherwise um in talking with uh town manager Dugen, it was we
were probably shooting for next the next meeting you had in person. >> That's fine. I just wanted to know just when you think you're going to be back before us. That's all. >> Absolutely. And we want to be responsive and and also accurate. But uh again, I in talking with Maren, uh you know, I was prepared tonight to share if if you
like, but um but also happy to um you know, have a little more time with it and and share at the next meeting. >> I'm I'm good for it being at the next meeting because I'd prefer it to be in person rather than than like >> I would I would as well. Okay, that
works for us. Okay, next on our agenda is the discussion from with about collective cannabis request to amend their hours of operation. Do we have a representative from from them
for this discussion? >> Nope. I don't see uh Mr. Geonetta on yet. >> We are a couple of minutes early. >> Yeah. >> Does he know it's a Zoom call by the way, Marin? >> Um yes, Cooper sent out u specific
information again today just in case people didn't understand that. Okay. And And we don't have a representative from 600 Great Road yet either, so we can't necessarily go out of order.
>> Yeah. Not as far as I can tell. >> Yeah. >> Okay. >> But I don't believe we're going to get anybody for 600 Great Road. Are we Marren for that's just the ANR for the um for the Mats for the uh Gary's farm
stand property. >> Um it would be a little unusual for nobody to show up. >> Yeah, >> but you're right. It is always a possibility. >> Yeah. >> Okay. I think in general one of the things that um we should make it a point
that somebody from the applicant shows up whether it's video or in person because otherwise we're just conducting business almost in an anom in an anonymous way. Can't say that word. Um so I always prefer to have an applicant
before us. I I agree. But >> yeah, >> it's a plain old day in our so >> All right. >> All right. And was um somebody from Collective
Cannabis planning on dialing in or >> um Yeah, we did hear back from Let's see. Where did we hear back? Yeah, we got a simple thank you back from Mr. Gonetta. So I interpret that to mean they will be here for that discussion.
>> Okay. >> All right. They may have to edit out five minutes of dead time in the uh the recording then. >> Yep. You should do this more often. I like smoking at our meetings.
You in your own little room that you >> I am. I'm out actually out semi outside. I know it's not good for you. I know. I know. >> Yeah. >> One of my few vices. >> If if you smoke during meetings, can I
drink during meetings? >> How about we drink and smoke? What? Maybe a little bourbon in the sky bottled. Are you good for that? >> Yeah. >> Well, we can put it in coffee cups like like Phil Russell. No, I shouldn't say
that. I don't know that. 100 years ago. >> Oh, and um just one thing, I I will not be able to attend next month's meeting. I'll be out of town uh there. So, >> okay. Um does it make more sense to move
that to another date? >> Uh Let me just let me find my calendar here. Um, >> so that of October 2nd, you could do um perhaps October 9th or 16th.
>> Uh, I can't do the 9th. I could do the 16th. >> Uh I can't I don't think I can do the 16th. I think I'll be out of time. >> Okay. This is why we have these discussions. >> Oh yeah. I'm going to see Toby. No, not Toby. Keith. Who am I going to see?
Keith Urban. Somebody. I don't. Somebody I don't want to go see. Not a big Not a big Country western kind of guy. >> Yeah. Yeah. So, I mean, if if you have the rest of the board for the second, um,
you know, we can just, you know, try to keep moving progress uh forward there. >> Okay. Yeah. Um, Jeff has shared that he would be able to do the October meeting. So, >> okay.
>> Seems like we should leave it. >> Thanks for the update, though. It's helpful to know. Yeah. Do you want to try to do the ANR while we wait for um Mr. Getta? I wasn't sure if somebody from them, a representative
from them was going to be dialing in and since we have it posted some, you know, I don't know if they would be waiting before they dialed in or not >> because I did have a couple of comments I just wanted to make on that. >> I can make anyway.
>> Marin, where the hell Marin come? I'm still here. I'm looking for a phone number. Mark, are you laying on the floor now just looking up at your ceiling? pretty much. So I guess one thing I would like maybe
this just highlights uh something is is again maybe as a informal notice to the various applicants to ask them to please come like 10 minutes early and put that in terms of their their meeting invite. uh when we you
know they make we schedule these so that if we do run early we can start uh trying to push through things instead of just waiting because like we have no idea if these are going to dial in or not and it's 6:55 now. So we could adapt that as a as a new pro
a standard procedure >> policy. >> Well normally it's live so we don't normally have that issue but >> yeah But I think even live we should ask them to show up a couple of minutes ear prior to their start time uh there because
>> unless I'm just running too efficient of a meeting here to uh >> maybe maybe that's what it is for. >> Uh oh, I went out. Uh oh. Yeah, cuz Okay, >> little technical emergency. My cigar
went on. I'm getting ashes all over me. That happened to anybody cheap guys I guess. Okay. So with this discussion on the um amending hours um I mean I'm I'm not
inclined to have the discussion if the applicant is not here because to me there's no re we don't need to discuss it because we have operating hours as it is and if they're not here to represent what the change I'm not sure we need to have a discussion.
>> I don't know how other members of the board feel about that. I'd agree with that. >> We do have two attendees. Um, the names just aren't familiar, but I don't know how we would know if it's the applicant.
Um, let's see. Where's the uh where's as a co-host I believe that Cooper as a co-host I believe you can um contact them the name on the Um, the request is David Gian Geian.
>> Yeah, that's not one of the names, but >> I'm not seeing a chat option. Just >> Yeah, there there's no chat options available in Littleton meetings.
>> Okay. you can only allow them to talk or promote them. >> Um, we can ask them if any if the uh any of the attendees are representing collective premium cannabis, could you raise your hand?
>> I don't know if we can see that either. >> Yeah, we should see them raise their hand. We saw it before >> under under the participants attendees um box. All right, seeing none. What's the board's desire? Like
>> go. >> There's an box at the bottom that says lower all attendees hands. Does that mean they're raising their hands or not? >> No, nobody has raised their hand. >> Okay. >> Okay. >> Per your recommendation, um, I think we
should move on to the next item on the agenda. Yeah. And that we'll take no action on the request to mend the hours. Uh they can re-reest ward time. >> Can we just continue it till next month
or do they have to do it? >> I'm not sure what the actual procedure is for for an in you know for this discussion. Uh Maren, is there a standard procedure we do? Do we do we defer them or do we tell them that if they want time to
re-request it? >> Um, we'll reach out to uh Mr. Geonetta and see if he's would like to move forward with it at the next meeting. >> Okay. >> Okay. And now we have the ANR is an unscheduled agenda for till 7:05. And
again, I think we're in that situation. So, we don't know if somebody's going to dial in or not. >> Um, yeah. Um, actually Sherry Gold has just joined. >> Oh, I see now. Yep. >> Yep. >> If um she's going to be the only representative, we can probably proceed.
Uh >> um so Sherry, do you anticipate anybody else um representing this ANR? >> No, just myself. >> Okay, so we can proceed with the um with the ANR. >> Thank you.
>> Welcome to our meeting. Uh would you mind giving us a quick overview of what's what's the what's going on? >> This is the 600 Great Road property. It used to be the Wilkins farm. >> Yep. And um the Wilkins family had a
relationship with Tenderrop as you may recall and they had two meetings with you where they had brought in some not complete or and not detailed plans and we the last meeting we were in front of you with attorney Tom Harrington from
town council or Chris Heap, I forget which one represented the town, but they were saying that it was up to the building inspector to determine uh usability and and whether or not it
would be an allowed use. And the Wilkins family is liquidating the assets of the father who's passed away. And we decided that it would be more beneficial to the estate to liquidate the assets as is
rather than try to fit tender crops uses into an allowed use before the planning board first and then afterwards to the uh building inspector. So, we've gone back out into the marketplace and discovered that Mats are very interested
in purchasing the farm stand and the green houses in that area. And the other lot, um the 1acre lot that we're looking to subdivide, not subdivide, but to ANR off this plan, uh qualifies as a building lot. So, we're just looking for
an ANR to separate the one acre off and then to sell part of it to um the MATS if they're still in the picture and part of it as a building lot. And that way we would repeat repeat the same amount that Tender Crop was offering without the
long delays of permitting and the permitting process. >> Does the board have any uh comments on the plan presented? Anna. >> Uh, thank you Sher for um sharing this
information. Um, so it sounds like it's going to be both um potential building lot and also associated with farming >> retention of the pre-existing farming use. That's correct. >> Exactly. So
>> I think it's a good use. >> Yep. So, the one question that I have is on the documents that were provided to us for the ANR. Um, I thought it was supposed to have an engineer stamp and it the one that was given to us as
members did not. So, I wanted to confirm whether or not we have a version that has an engineer stamp. >> The engineer delivered the myar to me, which I delivered to Cooper in Marin's absence. And honestly, Cooper and I didn't review it to see if the stamp is
on it, but it was done by an engineer. And if it's not stamped, I'll have him run over tomorrow and stamp it. >> Well, I I think that um typically speaking, we we need to have documents that have that stamp. And then if um if it's not so then, you know, we we need
to make sure it does, especially before anything gets signed. >> Absolutely. I'll check with Marin and Cooper in the morning. I have a feeling, if you don't, if you'll excuse me for interrupting again, Anna, I have a feeling that when Cooper
asked me to send him the um the electronic version for the board, I may have inadvertently sent him the draft. >> It's got Marin's showing it. It's got a stamp on it >> before the stamp. Yeah, I apologize. >> So, Mar's version has a stamp. Yeah,
that's certainly a fair question because the um electronic version that was sent over did not have the stamp, but the um original myar does have a >> I take I take responsibility for that error. I apologize. >> We'll let it go.
>> So nothing and so >> we made a lot of mistakes. >> And just to confirm, nothing changed from the version that we saw to the myar version. >> No, it did not. Um yeah, the um the surveyor signed um on the surveyor
signed and dated and uh PE Alberry uh stamped and dated it. >> All right. Thank you. >> Uh any other board members have any questions? Um, Sherry, I I just have maybe it's a
it's more of a comment. Uh, and it's I I think technically I see that the plan meets all of the zoning requirements for an ANR plan uh there. But I have one question uh there in terms of the
existing buildings uh and the impervious on it in the in the water protection district uh there that it just barely squeezes in with the as a 3 acre parcel and that if you split the 1 acre off and then it changes
ownership. you can't use the combined ownership to any longer to uh ensure that that lot the buildings and impervious on that lot are comp within zoning. So are you creating some kind of little time bomb here that um cuz once you
split it off my understanding from the ZVA perspective when I was on there is the once you split the lot and it's not under common ownership the grandfathering of the nonconformity conformities does not uh preserve
I don't know what nonconformities you're referencing. >> Uh there may may or may not be is I think it's related to the amount of impervious uh that's on the lot uh there because I know that uh that number was high uh as a 3acre lot uh
when we were doing the other things. it hasn't come for us formally, but I just just bring that to your attention uh there that um that if it does become non-conforming, the nonconformity is not grandfathered.
>> Um I accept that information and we'll bring that to the attention of the purchaser of the farmland 2. I I I just mentioned it because like I said >> as a com as joint owners as com single
ownership you the lot split doesn't matter but if the when it sells to a different entity it it changes that I think >> understood yeah understood >> I think the clarification Darl when when we saw tender crops their parking lot
was a lot bigger than the existing parking lot that's at Gary's farm stand so maybe Gary's is probably find a way it is in my understanding. >> I don't know. It's something I think they need to pay attention to. Uh just a recommendation they pay attention to it because you you know uh I wouldn't want
to I would just bring up that it's if it does become non-conforming is it's like a little time bomb uh there that could infect affect its future. >> Appreciate the input. >> Okay. Um, so with that, um, I'll look
for a motion to accept the ANR as presented. >> So moved. >> Second it. >> Okay. Bartlett, >> yes. >> Mark, >> yes. >> Anna, >> yes.
>> Daryl, yes. So, your ANR has been approved. I can come by town hall tomorrow uh morning sometime and sign both the ANR and the um bills. >> We all have to sign the ANR. >> I'll have to sign the ANR.
>> Yeah, we all have to. >> I'm not I'm not in a rush if any of you are away. I'm not in a rush for that. >> Okay. And um I appreciate your deliberation tonight and your input and I personally feel like this is a fine use for the property of continued
farming in our community and the farm community. Thanks you. >> Y okay. Uh with that I see no other business on our agenda. I'll take a motion to close the meeting. >> So moved.
>> Second. >> Barllet. >> Yes. Mark, >> yes. >> Anna, >> yes. >> And Daryl, yes. Thank you everybody for
