ROCKPORT Three hours of deliberation and discussion ended Thursday evening, Jan. 27, with four members of the Rockport Planning Board agreeing to continue their meeting until Feb. 3, when they are to officially sign findings of fact supporting.
ROCKPORT Members of Rockport’s Zoning Board of Appeals voted Dec. 9 to continue in two weeks its review of an appeal brought against municipal approval of a new downtown hotel, rather than proceeding with the appeal as originally scheduled.
The board agreed that it would use the interim to review four letters submitted by attorneys for the applicants, the appellants and the Chair of the Rockport Planning board; those letters were received within days of the scheduled Dec. 9 hearing.
By the end of the their last meeting on Dec. 1, the ZBA made no decision to uphold or dismiss the appeal of the Rockport Planning Board approval granted last spring that would allow Stuart and Tyler Smith to pursue a building permit for a new four-story hotel at 20 Central Street, in Rockport Village.
