Wilder Street public hearing continued to Sept. 4 after sign not posted
Summary
The Lowell Planning Board continued the public hearing for an application to convert 353 Wilder Street from a two‑family to a three‑family dwelling because the required on‑site notice sign was not properly posted; the applicant requested the continuance and the board set a new hearing date of Sept. 4.
The Lowell Planning Board continued a scheduled public hearing on an application by Carnoma Holding LLC to convert the two‑family house at 353 Wilder Street into a three‑family dwelling after board staff confirmed the required on‑site notice sign was not posted.
At the meeting the chair said an on‑site sign for the Zoning Board of Appeals was found lying on the grass and that no valid notice was visible on the site. Planning staff notified the applicant, and the applicant submitted a written request to continue the hearing. The board voted to continue the matter to Sept. 4; members asked staff to request that the applicant update the posted sign with the new hearing date so neighbors would not mistakenly think the hearing had already occurred.
This action is procedural: the board did not take any substantive action on the Wilder Street application at the meeting and no public testimony on the Wilder Street item was heard. The continuance was recorded without opposition.
