Attorney David Hellman represented Kripalu Yoga Fellowship in a request for a Special Permit from Section 6.3.8 and 6.1.2 from the Board of Selectmen.  The property is located at 57 Interlaken Road in the R4 zoning district.  The proposal is the expansion of a preexisting nonconforming use in a residential zoning district.   The project is part of the master plan for the property.

They are proposing the addition of 80 rooms to the 350 existing rooms.  The reason for the expansion is the addition of private guest rooms with private bathrooms and to make the property more competitive to generate additional income. The proposed building will be 49 feet high. They are also proposing to move the existing parking area out of the buffer zone.  

Member Bartle made a motion to recommend approval of this expansion under Section 6.3.8 and 6.1.2 for Kripalu Yoga Fellowship to the permitting authority the Board of Selectmen.  Member Hobbs seconded this motion and it was unanimously approved, 5-0.
