Summary

The Lowell Planning Board granted applicants’ written requests to withdraw a definitive subdivision at 318 Andover Street and a site plan/special permit at 246 University Avenue, both withdrawals granted without prejudice.

The Lowell Planning Board voted to allow two applicants to withdraw pending applications without prejudice. The applicant for a definitive subdivision at 318 Andover Street notified the board in writing that it would withdraw the application; the board allowed the withdrawal without prejudice. The chair said the subdivision was for a lot in a suburban single‑family zoning district and that the newly created lot would not meet the minimum frontage requirement under Section 5.1 of the Lowell zoning ordinance.

Separately, the applicant for site plan review and a special permit at 246 University Avenue requested to withdraw an application to convert a mixed commercial/residential building into four residential units. That application required site plan review under Section 11.4 (expansion >3 dwelling units) and a special permit under Section 12.1(c). The board voted to allow the withdrawal without prejudice.

In both cases the board recorded motions and carried them by voice vote; no further action was taken on the projects at the Sept. 4 meeting.
