The select board continued the public hearing on an unregistered/un-garaged vehicle permit application for 160 Bedford Street to the Jan. 27, 2025 select board meeting and specified evidence the board expects before it will make a determination.

Conservation commissioners told the board that applicants still have outstanding required evidence: in‑season wetland or water test results the commission requested, and documentation proving contaminated soil that had been removed from the site was accepted at an approved disposal facility. Conservation reported it had requested independent lab water tests and re-sampling of test pits; the water testing results had not been provided to the commission as of the Jan. 6 meeting, and conservation planned to require those results at its next hearing. Conservation staff said the sampling and test results should be presented to the select board at the Jan. 27 meeting.

Select board members noted the continuing, multi-month nature of the matter and said they would ask town legal counsel to be present for the Jan. 27 continuation if needed. The board recorded a motion to continue the public hearing until Jan. 27, 2025, at 6:30 p.m. at the Lakeville Police Station and asked the applicant to provide lab results or test‑sample documentation and proof that contaminated soil had been delivered to an approved landfill or facility prior to that meeting.
