Lakeville zoning board continues Simmons Hill 40B hearing to May 12
Summary
The Lakeville Zoning Board of Appeals unanimously voted to continue the public hearing on Simmons Hill LLC's comprehensive permit (40B) application until May 12; the applicant's attorney said the project will be substantially revised and authorized a 60-day extension of the statutory review period.
The Lakeville Zoning Board of Appeals on March 20 voted unanimously to continue the public hearing on Simmons Hill LLC’s comprehensive permit application for a “40 b” project located off Freetown Street until May 12. The continuation was scheduled as an in-person meeting at Loon Pond Lodge at 6 p.m.
The request to continue came in a letter read into the record from Robert J. Mather, attorney for Simmons Hill LLC and applicant Mohammed Atani. “Unfortunately, there have not been any acceptable proposals to rezone the project site,” Mather wrote, and the applicants said they “intend to make a significant revision to the proposed project” and asked the board to continue the hearing to a date in May. Mather also wrote that, because the extension was requested by the applicant, he was authorized to agree to an additional 60-day extension of the statutory time period by which the board must act on the comprehensive permit application.
Chairman Oliveri moved to continue the hearing to May 12 at Loon Pond Lodge at Ted Williams Camp at 6 p.m.; a second was recorded but not named. The board conducted a roll-call vote and approved the continuance unanimously. Board members recorded on the roll call included Chris Sheedy, Chris Campo, Barry, Jerry and Chairman Oliveri, all voting in favor.
The meeting also approved the minutes from the board’s Dec. 19 meeting by unanimous roll-call vote and then adjourned. The board noted its next regular meeting is scheduled for Thursday, April 10 at the library.
