The Plymouth Zoning Board of Appeals convened on November 4, 2024, at the Great Hall Town Hall to address several agenda items, including a significant case regarding a special permit request.
The meeting began with a discussion about a previous case, where board members agreed to add a third condition to the approval process. This condition requires the applicant to submit a plan detailing the location of a dry well, which is intended to manage rainwater and prevent sediment runoff into Canterbury Drive. The board clarified that the applicant would not need to return for further review, as the submission would be considered informal. The motion to approve this condition was unanimously accepted.
Following this, the board moved on to the next case concerning a special permit request from Elaine and Andrea Kelly. The petition seeks permission to construct a retaining wall exceeding 12 feet in height at 12 Goldfinch Lane, located in an R-25 zoning district. The board scheduled a public hearing to further discuss this request, emphasizing the importance of adhering to zoning bylaws.
The meeting concluded with a clear progression through the agenda, highlighting the board's commitment to thorough review and community engagement in zoning matters. The next steps will involve the public hearing for the Goldfinch Lane case, allowing for community input and further deliberation on the proposed construction.
