In summary, Board members expressed satisfaction with the proposed elevation, and indicated that the applicant had met this condition for provisional approval.

TD Bank Meeting Update

Gary and Paul met with representatives from TD Bank on Friday November 6 to review their latest plans for the bank proposed for the Weber Dodge site at 405 Lincoln Street. They will be submitting an application soon.

280 North Street

This is an application for a Special Permit A1 to construct a single-family home on a 25,018 lot in the Flood Plain and Watershed Protection District on North Street. Per Section III-C (8) of the Zoning By-Law, the ZBA shall refer this application the Planning Board for review and comment. The Con Com recently denied this project on the basis that it was in the Flood Plain, and the By-Law clearly states that you cannot build a new dwelling in the Flood Plain, but the Applicant's attorney has decided to proceed with the ZBA hearing (which is this Thursday, November 19). In summary, the Board recommended that the ZBA support the Conservation Commission's denial of the project.
