The Millis Planning Board made significant strides during their meeting on October 7, 2025, with key decisions that will impact the community's development and governance.

One of the most notable actions was the board's unanimous decision to recommend a warrant article to the select board for the upcoming town meeting. This motion, which received strong support, signals the board's commitment to addressing community needs through formal legislative processes.

Additionally, the board discussed a special permit application for an accessory dwelling unit at 36 Meadow Cartway. Although the site plan had previously been approved, the board opted to postpone further discussion until their next meeting on October 21, allowing for more thorough consideration.

In a move to enhance the zoning bylaw review process, the board appointed Robert Fogarty, the current building commissioner, to the zoning bylaw review subcommittee. This appointment is expected to bring valuable expertise to the committee as it works on updating and refining local regulations.

The board also approved the minutes from their previous meeting on September 9, 2025, ensuring that their records remain accurate and up-to-date.

Looking ahead, the next meeting will focus on the cell tower application at 121 Norfolk Road and the previously mentioned accessory dwelling unit. The board emphasized the importance of these discussions, particularly in light of the upcoming fall town meeting scheduled for November 10, where community members will have the opportunity to engage with these topics further.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the Planning Board's proactive approach to community planning and governance, setting the stage for continued development and engagement in Millis.
