The Lakeville Zoning Board of Appeals voted unanimously Monday to continue the public hearing on a comprehensive permit application filed by Simmons Hill LLC and applicant Mohammed Aitani for the Rocky Woods 40B project to Jan. 12 at 6 p.m. at the Lakeville Public Library.
The continuance followed a letter, received Oct. 10, from attorney Robert Mather for Simmons Hill LLC stating the project’s engineering plans remain incomplete and asking the board to delay the hearing roughly three months. The letter said the applicant authorized that the 180‑day statutory review period for the comprehensive permit will commence on the date of the board’s January meeting.
Board members discussed scheduling and settled on a 6 p.m. start time for the continued hearing. A motion to continue the hearing to Jan. 12 at 6 p.m. at the Lakeville Public Library was made during the meeting and was approved by roll call: Presiding officer (ayes recorded), Chris Sheedy (aye), Anthony (aye) and Chris Campo (aye). The board recorded the continuance as unanimous.
Board members also noted the Zoning Board’s next regularly scheduled meeting is Nov. 20 at 7 p.m. at the Lakeville Public Library. The meeting ended with a routine motion to adjourn, which the board approved.
The matter remains pending. The applicant’s letter and the board’s action address scheduling and the statutory timeline only; no substantive decision on the comprehensive permit was made at the Oct. 20 meeting.
