Summary
On Dec. 30 the board approved routine motions — paying bills, approving minutes — and endorsed multiple Form A/ANR plans. The board closed three hearings without prejudice, announced a New Year's Eve community event and set its next meeting for Jan. 7.
The Middleborough Planning Board on Dec. 30 moved through routine business and approved a series of land-plan endorsements and procedural items.
After opening the meeting and leading the pledge, the board unanimously approved a motion to pay bills and to accept minutes from Dec. 3 and Dec. 17. Members then endorsed several plans of land: a boundary adjustment for 28 Harding Street that will transfer a 56-square-foot sliver to a neighbor, an endorsed plan for 25 William Street, a plan for Thompson and Plain Streets involving minor lot-line adjustments, and an approval-not-required plan for 556 William Street (dated Dec. 13, 2024). All endorsements passed by unanimous vote.
The board opened and then voted to close three public hearings without prejudice — two Middleborough Park matters and a special-permit modification — waiving the fee to reapply. Members said the waivers preserve the applicants’ rights to return with revised plans and allow staff to work with counsel on outstanding items.
The board set its next meeting for Jan. 7, 2025 at 7 p.m. and encouraged applicants to circulate updated materials in advance. Chair closed the meeting with holiday greetings and reminded the public of a town family New Year’s Eve celebration at PS Playground on Jackson Street, with fireworks at 7 p.m.
Next steps: applicants with continued matters should submit revised materials or extension letters as needed; the board will take up continued hearings on Jan. 7 at 7 p.m.
