At its June 26 meeting the Lakeville Planning Board handled a series of procedural and administrative items, advancing board operations and scheduling a number of continued hearings.

The board unanimously voted to continue two pending public hearings: the site-plan review for a mixed-use retail/business project at 19 Main Street was continued to July 10, 2025; and a definitive two-lot subdivision at 92 Holland Road (assessor map 12, block 2, lot 26) was continued to July 24, 2025 at the applicant’s request.

On appointments, the board recommended that Mrs. Guay (a frequent meeting attendee) be appointed as an associate member who may sit on the board for special-permit hearings when a full-member recusal or absence would otherwise deprive the board of a supermajority. The board instructed staff to send a memo to the select board recommending the appointment and to alert the appointee to coordinate with the town clerk on the swearing-in process.

The board approved two sets of minutes (April 24 and May 8) with a small editorial correction to the May 8 minutes.

On site-plan inspection protocol, the board reviewed proposed inspection tasks and asked staff to prepare a standard checklist for inclusion in the site-plan review application. The checklist the board discussed includes: an initial preconstruction erosion-control inspection to confirm measures are installed; a minimum of two periodic construction inspections focused on stormwater-management excavations and basins; review of the binder course and asphalt details; and a final punch-list and as-built review. The board asked planning staff to present a draft for vote at the July 10 meeting.

The board also ratified the ADU application and fee process it recently adopted and voted to add two specific checklist items to the ADU application: (1) existing and proposed lot-coverage percentages, and (2) existing and proposed living-area (gross square footage) figures. These additions were approved unanimously to ensure completeness of future ADU submissions.

Other minor administrative motions included reappointments and committee assignments: the board recommended that Michelle (board chair) remain the planning board representative to the Community Preservation Committee and appointed Jack as the board’s representative to the Master Plan Implementation Committee. The board concluded its agenda and adjourned.

Summary of procedural votes at the June 26 meeting is below.
