Lakeville planning board continues review of proposed 13,300 sq. ft. building at 10 Harding Street
Summary
After receiving new peer-review pricing and engineering responses late the applicant agreed to a continuance. The board asked for conditions and further review before final approval.
The Lakeville Planning Board on March 13 continued the site-plan review for 10 Harding Street after new engineering and peer-review materials arrived the same day.
Board members and staff agreed the information submitted that afternoon could not be fully digested before a decision. Town Planner Nancy Durfee told the board the peer-review consultant will recheck responses and indicate which items remain open; the applicant said a second, lower-priced peer-review estimate arrived late and prompted the delay.
The application, filed by Lex Development Inc., proposes a 13,300-square-foot building with associated driveways, parking areas and utilities. The board asked the applicant to return with final architectural elevations, a written list of requested waivers, and documentation on water allocation and a water allocation agreement if required with the City of Taunton. Planning Board members also said they expect a stormwater operation, maintenance and inspection plan (SWIP) at point of construction and suggested conditions limiting building height to 35 feet and requiring final architectural approval prior to construction.
Chair members indicated the usual procedure: the peer reviewer will confirm whether responses close items or leave outstanding conditions. The board scheduled a continued hearing for March 27 so the peer-review report, outstanding peer comments and any responses from the fire department and board of health can be considered.
The board voted to continue the hearing to March 27, 2025. Recorded votes at the meeting show members present voting in the affirmative on the continuance.
The continued review will focus on any peer-review items still open, final elevations and documentation of use and water allocation. The board advised the applicant that additional conditions are likely if outstanding technical or public-safety issues remain.
