North Adams Planners OK Taxi Move, Antiques Space
 |
The first, an application by Lori L. Pratt, operating as American Cab Co., was for a special permit to operate a cab and livery service at 429 Curran Highway.
American Cab had moved from that location to River Street in 2010.
The second was for a special permit for James E. Montepare to operate an antique business at 189 Beaver St. Montepare operates Berkshire Emporium with Keith Bona on Main Street and has been using the space in the Beaver Mill for storage of larger items and household sets.
Big Shirl's Diner on Massachusetts Avenue is now Renee's Diner. The board reviewed and approved the signage change submitted by Renee Lapier.
The board at its last meeting had requested that the Dopplegangers motorcycle club and its landlord Charles "Rusty" Ransford appear before them this month about the condition of the Union Street building.
Club representatives were commended by the board for the work they had done in cleaning up and improving the structure, said Vice Chairman Paul Hopkins. Planners had wanted to discuss Ransford's failure to bring the rear parking area up to the conditions set but he did not attend the meeting.
