Needham ZBA continues 0 Colgate Road appeal; applicant to submit written extension
Summary
The Zoning Board of Appeals continued an appeal by Patricia Connolly regarding 0 Colgate Road to the March 20 meeting and required the applicant to provide a written extension waiving the board's decision deadline for an additional 60 days.
The Needham Zoning Board of Appeals continued an appeal of a building inspector's decision for property identified as 0 Colgate Road and set the matter for the board's March 20 meeting.
Attorney Jeff Pugino, representing the appellant Patricia Connolly, asked the board for a continuance to allow additional title and engineering work. The chair stated a motion to continue to March 20 at 7:30 p.m. and that written materials would be due on March 11 for that meeting.
Because the board's 100‑day review clock was approaching (the chair and counsel discussed a March 28 expiration), the applicant agreed to file a written request to extend the board's decision deadline by 60 days; the board recorded that the continuation is conditioned on delivery of that written extension and that the extension would extend any deadline to May 27. The chair recorded the continuance and the submission schedule.
Why it matters: the continuance pauses the appeal while the applicant pursues additional title and engineering review. The requirement for a written 60‑day extension protects the board from an unintended deadline lapse.
Next steps: applicant to file the written extension for 60 days (to May 27) and to provide any additional documents by March 11 for the March 20 meeting.
