Planning board endorses two ANR lot divisions on Lackey Street and 49 Arch Street
Summary
The board endorsed an ANR to divide a lot off Lackey Street and endorsed an ANR for 49 Arch Street; staff confirmed frontage/area compliance for Lackey and found the rear Lot 4 at 49 Arch is not buildable per zoning, and the board discussed the 2022 ZBA special‑permit recording before approving the ANR.
The Town of Westborough Planning Board on Oct. 1 endorsed two approval‑not‑required (ANR) plans: one to split a lot off a larger parcel at 0 Lackey Street and another for a lot division associated with 49 Arch Street.
Jenny Gingress told the board the Lackey Street parcel meets frontage and lot‑area requirements for an ANR. The owner was not present but the engineer had indicated the owner would attend; the board agreed the owner's absence did not prevent endorsement. The board moved to endorse the ANR plan prepared by Thompson‑List & Associates (dated 09/05/2024) for parcel ID 5‑19‑0.
Owner Farooq Ansari said he purchased the large lot at 49 Arch Street about two years ago, obtained a special permit for a duplex and seeks ANR approval to retain unused land that is not proposed for building. Staff noted that the rear lot (Lot 4) did not meet frontage requirements and is labeled non‑buildable under the zoning bylaw; that was reflected in the ANR labeling. Board members asked whether the 2022 Zoning Board of Appeals decision for the duplex was recorded; staff located a recorded cover page at the registry (Book 67692, Page 292) and the board concluded the ANR endorsement was appropriate. The board moved, seconded and approved endorsement for parcel ID 18‑23‑0.
No additional conditions or vote tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.
