Appearances:
- Jason Allen came before the board to discuss his in-home welding business located on 135 East Main Street. The home business owner is in the process of selling current home and would like to continue to operate his business on 135 East Main Street until a new location site has been established for the welding business. Jason Allen explained that this process will take approximately two years. Since the last meeting Pam Bruss referred to the CRNHPC, CRNHPC felt comfortable with the Bradford Planning Board making this decision.
The Planning Board asked Mr. Allen if the traffic flow would change as well as if the new owners plan on operating an in-home business once Mr. Allen has found a new location? Mr. Allen stated the traffic flow will remain the same and does not believe the new owners intend to operate a home business.
Motion: Carol Meise motioned to approve the continuation of use of the home business located on 135 East Main Street until June of 2022.
Second: Laurie Colburn
Decision: Pam Bruss– Ayes, Carol Troy- Ayes, Carol Meise- Ayes, Tom Dunne- Ayes, Steve Chase- Ayes, Laurie Colburn- Ayes.
A letter of decision will be drafted and sent to Mr. Allen.
