RE: A_ !VIlcation for Site Plan Review and.Special Permit
Property: 189 Willow Street
Applicant: Vincent J. Grasso
Dear Mr. Goldberg and Members of the Board:
I am writing on behalf of the Applicant, Vincent Grasso, in connection with the above-
referenced application for site plan review and special permit.
As discussed with the Board in June, the Applicant has further considered advancing its
application pending decisions by the Massachusetts Office of Appeals and Dispute Resolution
("OADR') and the Essex Superior Court concerning the related wetlands permitting matters. As
an update, the OADR conducted its adjudicatory hearing on August 5, at which the Conservation
Commission did not submit testimony or appear for the hearing. Post-hearing briefs will be filed
in September.
In light of the uncertainty of the timing of the Presiding Officer's ruling within the
OADR appeal, as well as timing considerations with respect to the appeal to the Essex Superior
Court, the Applicant respectfully seeks to withdraw its application before this Board without
prejudice, to allow for the wetland appeals to move forward. Upon a favorable resolution: of the
wetlands matters, the Applicant intends to refile with the Planning Board.
On behalf of the Applicant, we appreciate this Board's consideration to this matter and
we look forward to refiling as expeditiously as possible.
Sincerely,
Isl Stephanie A. Kiefer
