SANDISFIELD â A cannabis grower seeking to operate a greenhouse and manufacturing business has given town officials additional information they had requested to inform their vote Monday on whether to grant a special permit for the project.
The company, Sama Productions LLC, provided details on the potential for noise, pollution, and proof that the company can operate its proposed business on property it owns near the state forest.
The deed attached to the company s three lots totaling 60 acres, however, has a restriction placed on it by the property s seller that Jesse Belcher-Timme, an attorney for a group of residents, says should, in part, disqualify the company from receiving the permit. That restriction says only single-family homes can be built there.
LENOX â The Zoning Board of Appeals has flashed a second green light for a mixed-use, downtown development project.
The board, which was under a Berkshire Superior Court order to review its previous decision, voted unanimously Wednesday night to reaffirm its previous special permit granted last January for Nathan and Kathryn Winstanleyâs Windrose complex at 114 Main St.
The project, estimated at between $15 million and $20 million, includes renovation of the 1790 Northrup House and the construction of three new buildings featuring 26 high-end condos on the 3.26-acre property. One of them would house several street-level businesses or offices.
Local architect Jim Harwoodâs lawsuit against the board and the town appealing the ZBAâs original approval of the plan remains in the hands of Superior Court Judge Douglas Wilkins.
