Motion: J. Kiefer Second: C. Morrissey All in favor—5-Yes, J. Wilson -No 33 Quarry Rd.—A sketch plan review for an allowed use, Contractor yard in this Conservation Zone. This site is currently permitted by the DEC for a Quarry; they cut rock and have retail sales. It will remain a Mine Site and are requesting to have a Contractor Yard. The mining use at the site is pre-existing non-conforming. There is a big discussion on how to review this application. The Board thinks they should just be reviewing the open space with no mine or business. Just review Contractor Yard, and not get into the pre-existing non-conforming business. Board questions if 2 PB 11-30-23 they change the use will it reset the clock? Site is grandfathered and not sure about having 2 uses. The Board would like to have advice from the Town Attorney.
