Foster Planning Board weighs wedding venue, golf cart business
Foster’s Planning Board on July 1 discussed two potential new businesses: a wedding venue at Red Rock Farm and a golf cart sales operation. No votes were taken; the items appeared on an agenda for which minutes have not yet been published.
Planning Board considers use variance for weddings
The board reviewed a referral to the Zoning Board for a use variance that would allow weddings at 189 Plainfield Pike, the property known as Red Rock Farm. The referral is a procedural step; the Zoning Board would need to grant the variance before the Planning Board could approve any site plan.
Pre-application for golf cart dealership
A pre-application conference was held for Jesse’s Carts LLC, which proposes to sell retail golf carts at 88 Danielson Pike. Pre-application conferences are informal; the board can give early feedback before a formal application is submitted.
Engineering Board holds procedural meeting
The Engineering Board met June 30. The agenda included only standard items such as call to order, approval of minutes, reports from police and EMA, old and new business, and public comment. No specific projects, contracts, or policy changes were listed. Minutes have not been published.
Land Trust to discuss dam repairs and property acquisition
The Foster Land Trust will meet July 7. The agenda includes a closed executive session to discuss litigation and repairs for Dam #526 (auxiliary spillway) and the acquisition of real property parcel P10/L35A. In open session, the trust will review a hunting cooperation agreement with RIDEM Fish & Wildlife for archery hunting, a scout conservation project request from Joshua Stockwell, and a bench installation at Spencer Pond. Members will also plan for “Land Trust Days” events and discuss safety apparel requirements.
