Vol. 25, No. 28 -FREE- www.advocatenews.net Published Every Friday THE SUPERINTENDENT’S REPORT CARD 781-233-4446 Friday, July 15, 2022 “By Appointment Only” A dozen companies have approached Saugus town offi cials about potential permits to open retail pot shops By Mark E. Vogler T hermo King Northeast seeks a Special Permit (S-2) in order to obtain a Class C State Inspection Station for tractor trailer trucks on Ballard Street. Selectmen say the only way they would consider granting such a permit is if the company inspects the trucks by appointment only. Patrick Sullivan, the service manager for Thermo King Northeast, told selectmen at Tuesday night’s (July 12) meeting that his company doesn’t allow “by appointment only” inspections. But selectmen were adamant that they would reject Thermo King’s request for a Special Permit to allow for a Class C State Inspection Station at 121 Ballard St. if the company doesn’t do the inspections “by appointment only.” Selectman Jeffrey Cicolini said he needed assurances that there would never be a situation of any tractor trailer trucks being on Ballard Street “other than pulling into your lot.” Cicolini advised Sullivan to consider withdrawing his request because four of five votes are needed for approval of Special Permits. With one member (Selectman Corinne Riley) absent from the meeting, it was clear that Thermo King didn’t have enough support to obtain the permit. And denial of the request would prevent Sullivan from reapplying for at least two years. Sullivan later accepted Cicolini’s advice and withdrew his application without prejudice. A Class C State Inspection Station issues stickers to all commercial medium and heavy-duty vehicles over 10,000 lbs. (gross vehicle weight rating), including all trailers, semitrailers and converter dollies.
