The Kenilworth Planning Board voted on several consent and contested resolutions, approving site plans, an extension and dismissing inactive matters without prejudice.

Use variance and site plan — 251 Monroe Avenue: The board approved a use variance with preliminary and final site plan for Durham School Services at 251 Monroe Avenue. The resolution lists a set of operational and site conditions (referenced in the boards packet as about 19 conditions) addressing demolition, outdoor storage, bus and employee parking and other operational limits. Counsel for the applicant (identified in the record as Stephen Hale) and a representative (identified as Natasha) were present; the board set a compliance window and said the applicant may request an extension by letter if more time is needed.

North Holdings — North Twelfth Street: The board approved modifications for North Holdings (110/124 North Twelfth Street) to convert grass/gravel areas into parking bays and carry out related site work. The board noted receipt of revised plans and approvals (health, fire, traffic) and added compliance conditions tied to those agency sign‑offs.

Minor subdivision extension (NATC Donuts / application 23‑003): The board granted a one‑year extension for a minor subdivision approval requested by the applicant for the Dunkin Donuts project (new filing deadline shown in the applicant request as 2026‑05‑23). Board members said such extensions are common when county or state approvals and financing timelines delay construction; the extension gives the applicant additional time to satisfy interagency permitting without reapplying for a new subdivision approval.

Dismissals without prejudice: The board dismissed several applications (addresses referenced in the meeting record include 720 Boulevard and 730 Jefferson Avenue) without prejudice after applicants indicated they were not ready to proceed; dismissal preserves the applicants ability to return with a similar application in the future.

Votes: The Durham School Services resolution and the North Holdings resolution were approved by roll call. The minor‑subdivision extension was adopted by motion and roll call. Where roll calls were read into the record, the clerk recorded the affirmative votes and noted members absent or abstaining as the minutes reflect.

Procedural notes: Board counsel and staff confirmed a six‑month compliance timeline was acceptable for some items but the board set more expedited windows where they viewed compliance as an immediate operational issue. There was no public comment during the public‑comment period and the board adjourned after routine closing motions.
