The Town of Millis Planning Board voted Oct. 21 to approve a special permit for an accessory dwelling unit at 36 Meadowcart Way.

Board members noted that site-plan approval for the project had already been completed and that the special permit remained required because the property is in a district that calls for a special permit for an ADU. A staff member explained that, following an attorney general decision, town counsel had advised the board it could still vote on the special permit under the original application.

A board member moved to approve the special permit for 36 Meadowcart Way and another member seconded the motion. The chair called the question and the motion passed with one member recorded as abstaining.

The board did not provide additional conditions or a roll-call vote in the public transcript. The site-plan approval remains on file with the planning department; the planning board’s motion covered only the special-permit requirement.
