Second Mr. Bezanson. Ms. Foley advised the Board that she has been an auto dealer in Whitman since 2001. She has sold the property where she currently holds a license with a 44 vehicle limit and will be leasing space from Mr. Reid at 909 Temple Street. She is requesting a license for 5 vehicles at the new location as most of her sales will take place over the internet. Mr. Delaney asked Mr. Reid if any changes will be made to the property. Mr. Reid explained that because most sales will be online, there will not be vehicles for sale on display on the premises. When a vehicle has been purchased online, Ms. Foley will bring the vehicle on to the lot where the new owner will pick it up. Hearing nothing further, Chairman Kowalski asked for a vote in connection with the motion on the floor.
