The Smithfield Planning Board granted a continuance to Nov. 20 for the Mayor’s Way / Amelius Way application (listed at 250 Old County Road and also referenced as 60 Old County Road) after the project’s engineer reported the applicant had not yet received final RIDOT approval.
Joe Casale, a registered professional engineer for the applicant, told the board that correspondence from RIDOT indicated the chief engineer’s acceptance letter for the project’s Physical Alteration Permit (PAP) was expected in the coming days. Casale said the applicant agreed to extend any decision deadline while RIDOT completes its internal sign-off.
The board moved and seconded a motion to continue the matter to its Nov. 20 meeting and to extend the decision deadline; the motion passed with the chair announcing “the ayes have it.” Casale confirmed the applicant’s agreement to the deadline extension.
Planning staff reminded attendees that the continuance constitutes public notice for those parties; no separate mailed notice would follow. The board did not attach additional conditions to the continuance beyond the agreed deadline extension.
The continuance preserves the applicant’s right to a final decision while RIDOT completes its PAP review.
