The Town of Lakeville Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously on Oct. 20 to continue the public hearing on a comprehensive-permit application for the Rocky Woods 40B project to Jan. 12, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the Lakeville Public Library.

The request to continue came in a letter from attorney Robert Mather, who represents the petitioner Simmons Hill LLC and applicant Mohammed Aitani. In the letter, Mather said the project’s engineering plans are not yet complete and that the applicants "anticipate that we would need approximately 3 months to complete the plans." Mather also stated he was authorized to agree that the 180-day statutory review period would commence on the date of the January meeting.

Board members moved to continue the hearing and set the start time at 6 p.m. for that session because such hearings have tended to be longer. The motion to continue was made and seconded on the record; a roll-call vote recorded "aye" from Chris Sheedy; Anthony; Chris Campo; and Miss Veyr. The board announced the hearing will be continued to Jan. 12 at the Lakeville Public Library at 6 p.m.

The meeting record also notes the board’s next regularly scheduled meeting remains Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. at the Lakeville Public Library. The board then voted to adjourn.

No detailed engineering materials, revised plans, or additional hearings dates were provided in the meeting record. The letter from Mather (received Oct. 10) was the sole substantively new filing discussed during the Oct. 20 session.
