Summary

The Select Board approved changing 98 Old Worcester Road to 102 Old Worcester Road after the homeowner agreed and staff offered to assist with the administrative steps.

The Charlton Select Board unanimously approved a house-numbering change for 98 Old Worcester Road on Tuesday after town staff said the homeowner had agreed to the renumbering.

Town staff said the lot became buildable under recent housing rules and that the existing numbering would not accommodate the new parcel without creating a conflict. The board was told the homeowner had been contacted and agreed to change the address to 102 Old Worcester Road. The town offered the same assistance it described in an earlier case—filing paperwork with the registry of deeds, replacing mailbox and house numbers, and providing a reflective sign.

“This lot was a non-buildable lot until the housing affordability bill was passed,” the building department representative said, explaining why the change was necessary. Staff said the homeowner had consented and did not attend the hearing.

The board moved to close the public hearing and then voted to accept the recommended numbering change; members voted unanimously in favor. Staff said they will process the administrative steps described to complete the renumbering.
