Online commenter asks board to revisit denial of public hearing on storage facility deferral

Audrey Novak called into the Sept. 10 meeting to request that the board revisit its Sept. 8 decision denying a public hearing on an extension of a deferral related to a storage facility. Novak said she had tried several times to call in while out of town and that two attempts to leave messages had not resulted in follow-up; she said, in light of consulting work on the Route 26 overlay district, denying a public hearing felt procedurally improper and asked the board to "address this issue."

The chair thanked Novak for her comment and confirmed staff would follow up; Novak asked the board to consider a revote and to ensure public comment opportunities are available to those who cannot attend in person. The board acknowledged the point and moved on to administrative session.
