MOTION moved by Mrs. Mackenzie It is the finding of this Board that the premises known as Supa Sales and Service/Supa Cars located at 1900 Main Street is not suitable to hold a Class II license as John Santos and Melissa Young are in violation of the Agreement of 2017 with the Town of Walpole as they failed to comply with the requirements of the agreement. The board therefore will not renew the Class II license, seconded by Mr. Gallivan Discussion ensued: Mr. Salvatore when I astonished at the behavior at a recent site visit at the property. That should not have happened. He looked at the facts that are presented to the Board. They are two separate items. My decision was not affected by that. This is a daunting process and he understands they took this over with these problems. There are a lot of hoops to jump through. What I see right now I have been struggling with the problems towards are with the Environment and regarding Conservation. From what I see it is getting through the process and getting everything in order. I wish the septic system was hooked up today. I think they have done some things to clean the property. That is just my view. Mrs. Mackenzie you can always come back in after you get this done and apply for a license. Ms. Ragosta I would like to persuade the Board. I think they have come so far and have tried so hard with their limited financial situation and circumstances. While the Tank is not hooked up, I do not think we gave them a date for the final hookup. The tank is in the ground and is so close to being completed. A stormwater plan was submitted but not signed by the engineer. It seems to me that the steps they have taken may not have been perfect, I have seen progress in the last 3 months and it is such a shame of getting them over the hump. It would be painful for me not to give them time. Jim O’Neil I did recognize that it could not be done. I stated at that last meeting it was important to hit the dates that you agreed to the last time we were here. The things we talked about was getting the tank into the ground by the 30th , the Notice of Intent was to be filed and understands you filed a plan but not signed by the engineer. Ms. Young there was one piece of document that needed to be signed but the meeting was so late. You have been before us 3 to 4 times in the past months. With a theme of we almost got it done. It is not good …
