Summary

A developer seeking a 40B comprehensive permit for 16 units on Broken Bow Lane faced broad neighborhood opposition over flooding, road conditions and density. The board asked for hydrology/soil borings, revised drainage and nitrogen calculations, architectural revisions and a peer engineering review and continued the hearing to allow those materials.

The Zoning Board of Appeals heard a lengthy and contentious presentation and public comment session on a Chapter 40B comprehensive-permit application for Broken Bow Lane, in which Broken Bow Residences LLC proposed 16 units (four duplexes and one multiunit building) with four affordable units.

Applicant representative Nick Marione presented site plans, parking arrangements (32 spaces), drainage design and a leaching-field layout. Town referrals in the file include an engineering memo with roughly 17 pages of comments, a Board of Health review noting septic suitability pending confirmation and a planning-board note expressing concern about the proposed architectural features and apparent lack of tenant storage.
