The Plympton Zoning Board of Appeals hearing scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 9, to hear the proposal for a special permit to allow Four Silos Farm event center, was rescheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 20, at 6:30 p.m. because a quorum could not be reached due to the illness of one of its members, and another member away.
About 30 people were in attendance and they asked proponent Jeffrey Perette to give an overview of his project, realizing that it would not count as an actual hearing, just an informative gathering.
ZBA Chairman Suzanne Jefferian told Perette “Honestly, we’re dying to hear about it.”
Perette told the assembly that it is his intention to make a quality venue at 387 Main St., across from Outback Arms. He admited, “I have a thing for antiques …” as he told about the white oak barn that he has purchased from Ohio that was built in 1793. “I’m trying to keep the rustic antique look.” The barn is truly breathtaking. That will be used for functions, weddings, birthday and holiday parties, In the future he hopes to have another barn strictly for equestrian use, including an indoor riding area, all tying in to the agricultural feel.
Vicki Alberti asked about the significance of the four silos. Perette answered that those four are stricktly decorative.
The venue will hold up to 400 people. Perette also noted that the five dots on the map are actual grain bins, that he plans to convert into lodging for overnight guests to the event.
He hopes to break ground in the spring.
