Planning Board grants permit extensions and approves farm-stand relocation; small building additions discussed
The Planning Board accepted documentation supporting an extension request for four shoreland permits covering cottage work. The applicant provided receipts and building permits showing expenditures exceeding the 30% substantial-start threshold; the board approved the extension for the permits tied to application 2025-16.

The board also accepted a business-permit change for the Farmer's Cupboard, allowing the farm-stand to move from 1053 Main Road to 24 Sebastian Road; abutter signatures and improved parking were cited as reasons supporting the move. The owner was told to submit the $100 fee and required copies.

Finally, the board reviewed Joyce and William Kelly's application for two small additions on the same deed and asked for clearer square-foot and floor-plan details so staff can confirm compliance with the shoreland expansion rules (30% limit) before issuing final approvals.
