The Lakeville Planning Board on Thursday asked the developer of the Lakeville Country Club subdivision to resubmit revised engineering plans to address peer-review comments and approved a covenant tied to the subdivision decision.

Planning staff said peer review noted that the revised cul-de-sac layout reduces the turnaround outside roadway diameter below the standard shown in the bylaws. The board’s materials cite the town standard (Section 4.B.5.b) requiring an outside roadway diameter of at least 120 feet and property-line diameter of at least 140 feet unless the board specifies otherwise; the revised plan snippet showed a turnaround of about 104.5 feet where previous plan sets had shown roughly 130 feet. Peer review also said the plan set provided to reviewers was incomplete, making it unclear whether the new cul-de-sac alignment would modify Lot 1 property limits and whether the proposed contours match the updated curb alignment.

Board members said they want any plan sheets affected by the cul-de-sac change revised and resubmitted so the record matches what would be filed at the registry. The board voted to ask the applicant to submit the impacted sheets (C1 through C4) as a minor modification to the site plan review, and to include any referenced sheets required to show cross‑references and contour work.

The board also voted to approve a covenant related to the subdivision (referred to at the meeting as the “golfers way” covenant) and instructed staff to forward the planning board’s recommendation and the covenant to the select board for recording. The board discussed but did not require a full resubmittal of unaffected plan sheets.

A handful of residents asked clarifying questions during the conversation. One resident noted that the parcel is zoned business and asked whether a future change to allow senior housing would require a zoning change or overlay and a town-meeting vote; planning staff confirmed that any rezoning or overlay would require town-meeting action and that the board’s current review is limited to the subdivision modification and plan conformity.

The board’s request for revised drawings and the requirement that waivers be shown on plan sheets are intended to avoid confusion between what the board approves and the materials ultimately filed at the registry of deeds.
