Attorney Robert Mather, representing La Baron Residential LLC (Residences at La Verne Hills), asked the Lakeville Zoning Board of Appeals on Feb. 27 to continue the public hearing on proposed modifications to the comprehensive permit for Phase 6. Mather said the developer had received a peer‑review letter from Bales & Thomas and was preparing a response, and that the team had become aware of water‑connection issues that must be resolved with the Department of Environmental Protection, the city of Taunton, and the La Verne Hills homeowners association.

Mather asked the board to continue the hearing until its April meeting so the developer could address the peer‑review comments and work with the identified agencies and associations on the water connection. The board moved to accept the letter and continue the hearing to April 17; the motion passed unanimously.

The developer’s letter asked for the April date because the next scheduled meeting in March was only three weeks away and would not provide adequate time to complete the necessary reviews and coordination. The board noted the request and continued the matter to its April 17 meeting; staff will post the continued hearing and track any additional submissions from the applicant.

No substantive testimony on the Phase 6 changes was taken at the Feb. 27 meeting because the item was continued.
