Key goals the board discussed: (1) map and track buildable land area (a \"safe-harbor\" calculation to support housing and 40B/40R analyses); (2) complete a zoning map review to ensure overlay districts (marijuana, water-resource protection) and FEMA floodplain layers are reflected accurately; (3) pursue a senior-housing overlay discussion after an earlier developer presentation; (4) finish a five-year review of planning rules and regulations (the town has procured Sherpa/CERPED assistance and a technical assistance grant); (5) continue work on the 40R/40B/Chapter 40A compliance process submitted to the state; and (6) increase communications with other boards and committees including CPA and the Conservation Commission.

Board members flagged possible consultant needs and suggested looking to Bridgewater or local university GIS classes for assistance due to the town's limited in-house GIS capacity. Members also discussed scheduling an interdepartmental meeting or a combined meeting with CPA and Conservation to improve collaborative review of large projects, in particular projects subject to 40B.

The board placed a number of items as \"ongoing or completed\" where outside consultants or state filings were already in process (priority protection and development-area mapping, the 40R submission). Members asked staff to prepare a condensed status update to share with the master-plan committee and to add a monthly brief from the Sherpa/CERPED representative.

Why it matters: The goals set the agenda for zoning updates, mapping work needed to calculate buildable land and safe-harbor thresholds, and coordinated review of large housing projects. Those steps could affect the town's compliance with state housing programs and future zoning warrant articles.

What happens next: Staff will refine the goal list, seek cost estimates or grant sources for GIS and mapping work, coordinate with Sherpa/CERPED, and provide a status update to the master-plan committee.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lakeville Planning Board, 1-23-25","oneSentenceSummary","The Planning Board reviewed 16 goals that prioritize zoning-map updates, creation of a buildable-land-area map for safe-harbor analyses, a potential senior-housing overlay, and better coordination with the master plan and CPA.","taxTitle","Town of Lakeville, Plymouth County, Massachusetts","taxId",58187,"location","Massachusetts","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6360868,"Lakeville planning board advances edits to site-plan review bylaw and proposes formal pre-submission/oversight process",3283,2471000,5754000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2172696-64d28bc310523e13ac797ea8ef29e833&start=2471&end=5754","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2172696-64d28bc310523e13ac797ea8ef29e833/thumbnail_2471000.jpg","/articles/6360868/Massachusetts/Lakeville-planning-board-advances-edits-to-site-plan-review-bylaw-and-proposes-formal-pre-submissionoversight-process","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6360868-ae65e0503f1abcb492386e6e040a6488/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136690&Signature=oKkG3mH6e1tPf5r0iE4AoUSl1XCOzG41~d7EUmo~osn3m5B~~HI9EnN4KoQYTHbOQS5yD~cAO9muiyh~VtKzTHPrxzhsMu9Fc7mJaxRRBZ~1nBqWyL8bpLoc9hqVCTD9BltojkQ6U6yNjMvSZz5QXJOj~p1uUxm1GpIMJIjgfVDP~xmDmOJbVNwDy4VR69FkONY7YA-T2XBMChhpCyL1orQOywMF0snUTNoWSbsuRN8wmm1~rr90gtXarwIy7jStCFVDtrWXkS0F3TL3ycEPb-Y-aX1yMRer8h~AcRF7Pq30~-RAn5PW~dJ5jyK-APt4lprf-ZRuptPPuWTjVL9oZA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lakeville Planning Board reviewed a package of suggested edits to the town's site-plan review bylaw and began discussing a formal permit and construction oversight process intended to reduce missed review items and improve transparency.

Discussion points included closing a procedural loophole whereby site-plan review can be avoided if a project disturbs more than 1,500 square feet of ground cover but does not require a building permit; board members asked the town planner to propose language so the bylaw expressly triggers site-plan review for nonbuilding disturbances that meet the applicable thresholds. Members also asked for clearer, enforceable architectural standards rather than advisory language that \"strongly discourages\" certain appearances.

Staff proposed adding the Open Space Committee to the list of reviewers for landscape and native-species comments; board members supported returning landscape review requests to that volunteer resource. The board asked Nancy Darphy, the town planner, to draft suggested language and pass it to Amy (town counsel) for legal review.

Separately the planner proposed a permanent construction process that would create: (1) a technical review committee to give staff and department heads an opportunity to review plans before formal submission; (2) an optional—but publicly noticed—pre-submission conference allowing applicants to present early concepts to staff and the board; (3) a checklist-style application and waiver request form so applicants provide required items up front; and (4) periodic post-permit inspections or engineering oversight during critical construction milestones (drainage installation, curb cuts, planting) to ensure approved plans are built as permitted. Board members asked staff to draft the checklist and suggested application edits and to seek a proposal from the town's peer-review engineer (Apex/Environmental Partners) for construction oversight fees.

The board voted to continue work on the bylaw edits and the permit/construction process and to take a detailed draft up at a subsequent meeting (target Feb. 13 for bylaw edits, and Feb. 27 for the permit/construction process oversight proposal). Members emphasized transparency for any pre-submission reviews, suggesting public notice or an open meeting format to avoid the perception of closed-door decision-making.

Why it matters: Clarifying when site-plan review applies and creating a clear pre-submission and post-permit oversight workflow would reduce later-stage surprises, improve interdepartmental coordination, and give applicants clearer expectations. Adding Open Space Committee review would use local volunteer expertise on landscape/native-species choices.

What happens next: Town planner will draft specific bylaw language, an application checklist, and public-notice procedures and then circulate drafts to town counsel and the board ahead of the next meetings.","Planning Board members asked staff to draft explicit triggers in the site-plan review bylaw for nonbuilding ground disturbance, strengthen architectural standards, add Open Space Committee landscape review, and create a formal pre-submission technical-review and post-permit oversight process.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6360873,"Planning board continues special-permit hearing for proposed commercial parking at 160 Bedford Street to Feb. 27",111,1856000,1967000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2172696-64d28bc310523e13ac797ea8ef29e833&start=1856&end=1967","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2172696-64d28bc310523e13ac797ea8ef29e833/thumbnail_1856000.jpg","/articles/6360873/Massachusetts/Planning-board-continues-special-permit-hearing-for-proposed-commercial-parking-at-160-Bedford-Street-to-Feb-27","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6360873-0dca929eb89768bef244f4ce019583f5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136690&Signature=WqKeBGsaO09kfX2fXc0SyfQNW3zp-MVuO8l6v1kGT6DPGYwNIGkXxiBaZ7pE750AZMQZC-C9kjQJ6d41mUg0vWFePlHchH5g~DIuNPpfdF~-mmYAG51SM7AyB7KnzfrSwmezKdDZ~lO7ItRTBMDcmDqqlPfr3DjZ7MzrKXtjt4injmSx3R1wrTHLqkpt5q8fHa7EHTC~KWMzUC2P2C7mmv~E-xIvpkh~pgz1Mth~X-cPf-nIe~xXoC3tAvkwtJ8uHykntnl29tYQ~STFekqZapUttXxc665lRVPL7PvJIyuArHKjLdBm~2rgdKREonG8QhvMVefra6OY-KcBz6JaQQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lakeville Planning Board continued the public hearing on a special-permit application from JH Taylor Realty Corp. for a commercial parking facility at 160 Bedford Street until Feb. 27 to allow the applicant to complete a drainage review with the Conservation Commission and to respond to town counsel's position regarding parcel review.

Attorney John Widdison represented the petitioner and said the project team has continued coordinating with Conservation because the drainage design for the site is located on the rear parcel; based on town counsel input, the applicant had previously intended to present only the front lot but was told the lot cannot be separated from the parcel that contains drainage infrastructure. The applicant said it will appear before Conservation on the coming Tuesday to advance drainage documentation and requested the continuation so the Planning Board can consider any Conservation comments.

Ken Kupferberg, the owner's representative, confirmed the front lot under consideration is roughly 1.6 acres and that drainage is located on the second lot behind it. The board accepted the request to continue the hearing to Feb. 27 to give the applicant time to complete Conservation review and provide any supplemental materials.

Why it matters: The proposal would allow a commercial parking facility on a site where drainage controls cross parcel boundaries. The board paused action while Conservation completes its technical review and while the applicant clarifies whether the front lot can be reviewed independently following town counsel's guidance.

What happens next: The applicant will appear before the Conservation Commission and return to the Planning Board on Feb. 27 with updated drainage documentation and any necessary materials from town counsel or Conservation.","JH Taylor Realty Corp.'s request for a special permit to allow a commercial parking facility at 160 Bedford Street was continued to Feb. 27 while the applicant completes drainage review with the Conservation Commission and addresses town-counsel guidance about whether the front lot can be considered separately from the rear lot.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6360877,"Lakeville planning board continues hearing on 43 Main Street subdivision after zoning and fire-code concerns",509,32000,541000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2172696-64d28bc310523e13ac797ea8ef29e833&start=32&end=541","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2172696-64d28bc310523e13ac797ea8ef29e833/thumbnail_32000.jpg","/articles/6360877/Massachusetts/Lakeville-planning-board-continues-hearing-on-43-Main-Street-subdivision-after-zoning-and-fire-code-concerns","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6360877-992a034ad6c670aeeb2bba01445e1b0c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136690&Signature=JbN~UQn9-y6qPGTwPjFuzeviMfKU4~xSExmxxhkBBAGtE07qiSyLxu8wJVoCRCRgpvMio8~8GO1Oveh1siYRIlePGlGeBbz7TiMpLheA5CYg314E8p54XnrO~QozSgfAfcRy3bAwEAUvm4omzpBjLQqikLggGQgCetAAI8z16qUH27P~62VcYCYLun4U0XtYHglr30ZW5HbrXccGfCpaZr1al1DB9FV-S~lU8KmU0joZHMgyOE3DIGLzFrnoBLR6o-mdeLDeXUe4RpwO8mmF4lBnaziLwnYOIRlAxp8e6r-GiEWMavSggapx5Jj30RAoiNtAHmJ57y5e847Nli5Otg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lakeville Planning Board continued the public hearing on an application from Lakeville Owner LLC to consolidate several parcels at 43 Main Street into two buildable lots and a roadway until the board's next regular meeting on Feb. 13.

The applicant's attorney and presenter, John O'Leary, told the board the definitive subdivision would \"reset and start from clean\" the many existing parcel lines on the property and combine six or seven lots into a single development served by a new subdivision road off Bridal Street. O'Leary said Lot 1 would be roughly 1.8 acres and Lot 2 would be the remaining acreage; the plan also creates a separate parcel for a shared wastewater treatment plant that the project partners would jointly own and manage.

The board's peer reviewer, Environmental Partners (referred to in the submission as Apex Engineering in places), had already reviewed stormwater, traffic and site civil elements, O'Leary said. The applicant submitted a revised set of plans dated Jan. 9 after town zoning reviewer Nate Darling flagged one item, and consultant Annie Gorman of BHB walked the board through a small revision that extended the subdivision road about 85 feet so the plan complied with the town's front-yard circle rule (a 160-foot-diameter circle that must not touch side property lines).

Separately, the board read a written comment from the fire chief asking that any unpermitted commercial trash operations stop immediately and that any dumpsters larger than six yards be removed. The fire chief's comment said the property owner is ultimately responsible under the fire code. The applicant acknowledged they had been notified, said their surveyor staked the boundary for the new owner, and told the board they had asked the dumpster operator to remove the dumpsters; O'Leary said he believed the issue had been resolved but accepted adding a condition of approval requiring removal if it remained.

Neighbors submitted one written concern about the Bridal Street entrance, noting traffic and lighting near the state road; the board noted the intersection is on a state road and not maintained by the town, and said the 40B process or state funding would be a separate path for remediation if needed.

Board members said the application had received a thorough engineering peer review and asked for a standard set of conditions tied to the site-plan review record. With those conditions in mind and after confirming the applicant would provide revised materials and conditions in advance of the next hearing, the board voted to continue the public hearing to Feb. 13.

Why it matters: The subdivision would reshape a multi-parcel site along a key corridor, create a separate wastewater parcel for shared infrastructure, and require coordination on traffic access and fire-safety compliance. The board left the record open to confirm technical fixes and to add conditions tied to the fire chief's concerns and to confirm zoning conformity.

What happens next: The hearing is continued to the Planning Board's Feb. 13 meeting; the applicant agreed to supply updated plans and to accept conditions requiring resolution of the dumpster/trash issue if it persists.","Lakeville Owner LLC’s proposal to consolidate multiple parcels at 43 Main Street into two buildable lots and a roadway was continued to Feb. 13 after the applicant revised lot lines to satisfy a front-yard circle requirement and the board flagged a fire-department trash/dumpster issue for a condition of approval if unresolved.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6360859,"Planning board approves budget memo, amends Red Hen condition and continues several ANR and ANR items; planner to review 13 Main Street lease",3976,2025000,6001000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2172696-64d28bc310523e13ac797ea8ef29e833&start=2025&end=6001","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2172696-64d28bc310523e13ac797ea8ef29e833/thumbnail_2025000.jpg","/articles/6360859/Massachusetts/Planning-board-approves-budget-memo-amends-Red-Hen-condition-and-continues-several-ANR-and-ANR-items-planner-to-review-13-Main-Street-lease","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6360859-e33fe5d03344abbb5ca270b96750a80d/orig.mp4?Expires=1771136690&Signature=G4KIdDpkBEIpsT~DincmtDJAuHuHkDo7ky8EUmVWDbMreJG~9Q~Wyy0-r5ygYmBQ1N4G3r671dQ59C0HKm475btbr8kESyuntBdXYGpL5mXDlgjbd3YSIbjpsECPxqW1HfCzwnE8RMaRw88xRKvpDqTX45YWoMPyioURWHP0whVm9hyyPhfUePGzw0jXJv0BtjYx7fYkRhw6NzXvEI3w~f3MFarjbewIyycUUUJjQJZ66H3czxfZMyyTYLZmhQPrenWgkpRQIdI7iNsihumwbI8L7o-mlW~rtlbajdcOzBBmsn7GEyo-pObBVrdUzuIgrFd1VJirHB0CAv6ZkZ1MyQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lakeville Planning Board handled several administrative matters and formal votes at its Jan. 23 meeting, including budget review, continuations for subdivision/ANR matters, and lease and site-condition items.

Budget: The board reviewed the Fiscal Year 2026 planning budget materials and voted to send a memo to the town administrator approving the proposed budget as presented and to note the board's interest in funding for mapping (buildable land area) if resources become available.

ANR and A& R continuations: The board continued three land-division items to its Feb. 13 meeting: (1) the 43 Main Street definitive-subdivision public hearing (applicant: Lakeville Owner LLC), (2) an ANR plan swapping equivalent land between 80 Southworth Street and 5 Fairview Drive presented by Brad Fitzgerald of SFG Associates, and (3) an A& R for 10 Penitentiary Drive (Advance Surveyors) that requires the applicant to show septic and well locations on the plan. The board also continued the 160 Bedford special-permit hearing to Feb. 27 (see separate article).

Red Hen Brewing: The board amended conditions on a prior decision related to Red Hen Brewing (referred to in packet as 348 Bedford Street / Red Hen) to make a signage/indemnification condition \"as needed\" if municipal-parking or safety problems arise. The select board had requested signage and an indemnification clause; the town administrator later advised the select board did not currently favor signage. The Planning Board added language making the condition applicable only if parking problems materialize.

13 Main Street lease: The board authorized the town planner to prepare additional comments and requested that the planner work with town counsel on incorporation of an \"Addendum A\" (the age-qualification wording) into the lease language rather than leaving it relegated to an addendum. The board delegated authority to the planner to finalize comments and to coordinate with town counsel.

Minutes and adjournment: The board approved Nov. 14, 2024 meeting minutes (subject to one minor edit) and adjourned at 8:47 p.m.

Why it matters: These administrative votes establish the board's formal budget recommendation, preserve town flexibility to require signs or indemnification for a business only if parking problems occur, and maintain deadlines for substantive hearings and plan submissions.

What happens next: Several hearings are continued to Feb. 13 and Feb. 27; the planner will circulate proposed lease edits for 13 Main Street and the board will expect updated ANR plans showing septic/well locations where requested.","At its Jan. 23 meeting the Planning Board voted to send its Fiscal Year 2026 budget memo to the town administrator, added an as-needed parking condition for Red Hen Brewing, continued several ANR/ANR items to Feb. 13 and Feb. 27, and authorized the town planner to draft additional comments on a revised lease for 13 Main Street.","actionData","errors"]
