Thanks for your insight... I wonder if there's a way to go back and see if any of those companies mentioned had to apply for a variance from the zoning board?

I just keep going back to the article where they busted Bill for being misquoted in Forbes..and what the director of the planning commission stated...

Not to say that they won't be able to do what they want there, but shouldn't they have gone before the planning commission already? The scale of this project is far too large to just be pushed ahead.

Despite issuing news releases that it had approval from Health Canada “to grow, distribute, import and export medical marijuana,” Health Canada spokeswoman Sara Lauer said last week CEN Biotech has not received a licence. The company had also stated in a news release in the late fall that it had started construction on its medical marijuana facility, but the town hadn’t issued a building permit for the site. Since then the town has given CEN Biotech a building permit to put up an agricultural building.

Dennis Sylvestre, a contractor but not an investor in the company, applied for a permit to build a 53,000-square foot steel structure on the North Rear Road property. The building is valued at $800,000.

“The company is entitled to build a barn and fencing,” said Steve Salmons, the town’s director of community and development services. “What occurs in that barn is a zoning question.”

The company said last week that it received a “ready-to-build,” letter from Health Canada. Chaaban said the letter from Health Canada means that the company’s “application is deemed complete, passed the licence inspection,” and means the company can build its facility and Health Canada will inspect the site when it is finished.

Health Canada’s Lauer said obtaining a “ready to build” letter only means there has been a paper review of “some components of an application.” She said the letter is only provided to companies that request it and it shouldn’t be mistaken for approval.

“A company that has obtained a ready to build letter can not be considered approved by Health Canada since before a licence can be obtained a company must also meet all other requirements … including the personnel security checks and an inspection of the site.”
