Planning board approves reduced‑frontage special permit for Shampoo Landscape; limits access to a single Old South Road curb cut
Summary
Shampoo Landscape Realty Trust won approval to split 140 Old South Road into two commercial lots with reduced frontage in the CMI district, provided the developer limits access to a single curb cut on Old South Road and meets staff conditions.
The Planning Board approved a special permit that allows the Shampoo Landscape Realty Trust to create two approximately 5,000‑square‑foot commercial lots at 140 Old South Road by invoking the CMI frontage exception.
Paul Santos, project surveyor, explained the request under the zoning bylaw allowing reduced frontage in commercial districts and noted the resulting lots would remain commercial uses. Board members pressed for clarity on access and traffic; staff and the applicant agreed a single shared driveway on Old South Road should serve the two lots. The board added that condition and voted to approve the special permit with the single‑access requirement and standard staff conditions.
What happens next: Applicant may proceed with an ANR or subdivision step consistent with the approved special permit; staff and the applicant will coordinate details of the single‑driveway access condition.
