The board reviewed as-built plans and an occupancy permit request from CMJ Ventures LLC for a contractor and landscaping business facility at 200 Turnpike Road. While peer review engineers found the building and civil site elements compliant, landscaping and rain garden plantings had experienced winter die-off and an embankment slope had experienced erosion. The applicant agreed to post a $30,000 performance bond, eliminate an unnecessary outdoor dumpster pad in favor of internal storage, install replacement plantings by October 1, 2026, and participate in a one-year follow-up inspection in fall 2027. Outcome: The board voted 5-0 to recommend that the building inspector issue a certificate of occupancy subject to the landscaping deadline, slope stabilization, one-year look-back, and a $30,000 performance bond.
