At its June 17 meeting the Westborough Planning Board recorded the following formal actions.
- Continuation: The board voted to continue the public hearing on 220 Turnpike Road to July 1, 2025. The applicant requested the continuance to allow additional consultant and peer‑review materials to be submitted.
- 9 Otis Street (minor site‑plan modification): Motion carried to approve the minor modification to the site plan approval dated April 5, 2022 (plans by Cornerstone Engineering, Inc., revised 05/21/2025). Conditions carry forward all terms of the original approval and limit approval to the depicted modifications.
- 50 Flanders Road (ANR endorsement): The board endorsed the ANR plan dated 05/29/2025 prepared for Jonathan and Josiah Rich by WBA Design Group. Board members requested staff verify whether a prior historical‑commission demolition delay on the farmhouse at 50 Flanders remains in effect; the endorsement applies only to the ANR lot‑line plan.

- Minutes: The board approved minutes of June 3, 2025.
- Executive session: The board voted to adjourn into executive session under Massachusetts General Laws chapter 30A, section 21(a)(3) to discuss litigation strategy in a land‑court matter referencing Humphrey Bridal/Humphrey Street Realty Trust and named parties; the chair said an open meeting could be detrimental to the town’s litigating position and the board did not return to open session.
Where the transcript records only a motion and "all in favor" without a roll‑call tally, minute records reflect the motion as carried; the meeting transcript did not include recorded roll‑call counts for these votes.
