Summary
The planning board endorsed an ANR plan for a parcel owned by the Roman Catholic Bishop of Fall River to be subdivided into seven lots; Family Homes Construction plans singles and duplexes on vacant parcels and to convert the existing rectory into apartments.
The planning board endorsed a Form A plan July 9 to subdivide the Roman Catholic Bishop of Fall River’s property at 189 Wellington Street into seven lots. The applicant, Family Homes Construction Company Inc., will use six lots for residential construction that the board said conform to zoning minimums; the existing rectory is proposed for conversion to apartments. The rear of the property fronts Saint Mary Street and currently contains parking that the board noted in the plan discussion. Planner comments noted that the parcel meets lot‑size requirements and that earlier zoning board of appeals relief related to use — not parcel size — was referenced on the plan. Board members asked no further questions and there was no public comment. Michael Farias moved approval; Beth Andrei seconded. The vote was unanimous.
